In issue #847 of DMFA, Dan talks about how he was cursed by the Fae and when he eats shellfish all of his feathers fall out.
I wonder if that's an allergic reaction that beings with wings have. And on that note, I wonder if Abel's allergic to anything.
Fugen:
Nearly all the Sennin in the series completely lose track of time since they're in the clouds and immortal. This can lead to some silly jokes about "Oh what's it been 100 years now?". But from what I've noticed, I think Fugen actually keeps careful track of human world time. He remembers when his birthday is (and even looks forward to it), he even remembers the date of his family's murder (though he won't tell ME what it is). It may just be because he's living in the human world instead of in the clouds, but I think it might also be that he wants to hang on to the human parts of himself. He loves being a Sennin, he loves the things he's done in the Sennin world, but in the end he is human. The first 12 years of his life were in the human world, there are special memories for him there, even if the last ones are sad. That might be another reason he's so close with Taikoubou; Taikoubou clings to the human world so tightly, even thinks of himself as human near the end, iirc.
I dunno, I might be mis-remembering, I might be overanalysing, I might just be stating the obvious. Who knows, I just felt the need to write it XD
