new muse not too happy about choice in name

[crooked_tail]

Of all the things to call it...You chose that? You have to be the worst Two Cane!

[ His crooked tail bristled with anger before he quickly hid it under his cloak, ears pressing down to his head. ]

Aren't you guys supposed to be wise and noble or something? Don't make fun of my tail! I don't know who this 'Crooked man' is but I am not his cat so stop saying that!

But it's cute though! [Hey Konoe, there's a horned boy kneeling by your feet, who somehow managed to get ahold of your tail and is petting it happily.]

[crooked_tail]

My tail is not-- [Wait a minute. That didn't sound insulting.]

You think it's cute?

[His tail flicked a bit in the boy's hands to try and get free, unused to being handled.]

[Zelkova lets it go, dancing around to Konoe's front with a broad smile on his face.]

It is cute! I mean, The World has beast races, but a crooked tail isn't an available modification, so it's unique, too. [Zelkova, stop using gamerspeak, please.]

It's something only you have, right? It makes you special.

[crooked_tail]

Beast races? The only races we have is Big Cat and Small Cat. [What are you talking about?]

My tail is crooked, that would be like you having a broken horn!

[moon_flicker]

[He's a self-aware PC from an MMORPG, sometimes it's better not to question these things.]

A broken horn might look cool, actually! I should look into programming that some time. [Zelkova what.]

But you can't really compare the two, since my horns are uniquely my own.

...Actually, I guess you could, since your crooked tail is uniquely yours. I guess you could call both of them a charm point!

[crooked_tail]

Pro-graming? What is that?

Actually, you look a lot like the devils. [Only they're pretty big and wear black. Also want to eat him. The memory alone was enough to make him shudder.]

How could my crooked tail look charming?

[moon_flicker]

[The boy shakes his head with a smile. It'd be too difficult to explain tech speak to someone out of the loop. He also doesn't seem to take offense at being compared to a devil, either.]

Because it's unique.

[crooked_tail]

Most cats would find it weird. Is it really that good looking?

[moon_flicker]

Mm-hm! [Of course, Zelkova finds lots of odd things cute.] But I'm not a cat, though, so it might not mean as much.
