Alex's younger siblings would have been the source of the swearing if not the cause of it, or at least encouraged it mightily. But then, his family was... unique, and his skills in bandaging sprains and minor injuries were learned before the sixth grade, not in academia. There was a reason he hadn't brought many girls home growing up. Or any.

"I think I can do a bit better than cardboard." After rummaging around, he found some of the aforementioned Ace bandages, and a nice stiff piece of recently replaced DO NOT TAP ON GLASS signage that was just the right size. Thankfully, there was writing only on one side, which he put against the feathers, and began to wrap the wing so it was fixed into its folded, relaxed position. He tried very hard not to think of the way one would tie poultry to be roasted.

He would not be eating Buffalo wings for such a long time after this. Actually, even the thought of the chunks of raw chicken for his Gorgon assistant's hair in the office fridge was a little... strangely guilt-inducing right now.
