Since a lot of puffballs have wings, I think it would make sense if they had the tendency to groom and preen each other. Helps reinforce bonds, AND keeps the wings in working order…

That said, sit close enough for long enough to a borb, and they’ll start doing the same to you, whether you have wings or not 😆 They’ll rub their cheek glands with their hands, and start finger-combing your hair, working it in like a hairdresser adding gel… you’re hair will be nice and weatherproof WHEEZE

i love the idea of a borb doing this to a human s/o, interspecies awkwardness is so good lol. it's such a natural habit that they don't realize they're doing it until the human politely asks wtf they're doing 😆 embarrassing for the borb but it's definitely cute to their s/o!
