someone get him a furminator
Name: Niles
Date: 6/13
Format: Video
[The clip opens with a shot of Niles' chest. It might seem intentional, given how the deep cut v neck of his shirt shows off his chest, but after the picture rotates and tilts awkwardly a few times it becomes pretty clear he's just not entirely familiar with how cameras work. When his face finally is visible and the picture steadies he's frowning, annoyance obvious in the slant of his mouth and his squinting eyes.]
A question to all those who are gaining new parts and features, how do you keep them clean?
[The camera shakes and rotates some more as Niles turns his device to point down at a long, incredibly fluffy, beautifully patterned tail. It's not filthy, but the white shows flecks of dirt caught in it and there's a few small mats starting to form, particularly on the underside near the end. It flicks and twitches a few times before Niles moves the camera back up to his face.]
I've tried combing it like my regular hair- [Which looks clean, shiny, and overall well groomed.] -but the fur is so dense it hardly does anything, and it picks up dirt and grime so easily. I'm used to having a dirty reputation, but I pride myself on keeping that to the figurative sense only.

And not only that, but you'll need to brush it pretty often too!
On a different note, it looks very cute!

['Cute' throws him for a loop. He's been called that before, but not for a very long time, and in very different circumstances. He takes a moment to look over his tail once more, even petting it a bit.]
i suppose it is. has anything cute grown on you as well?

I just have to worry about learning magic.

[He hadn't exactly been a mage, but Leo tutored him in a wide variety of subjects. He resented losing that skill on his arrival.]

The real difference is that I'll probably have an actual use for what I learn here!
no subject
[Granted, Leo's history lessons had seemed useless initially, but the more he got involved in spying on the Nohrian court the more important understanding the origins of political tensions became.]

I just happen to think that a lot of what they do teach doesn't really have practical use.
