Lox was being poked by something, which he thoroughly ignored to the utmost of his ability because it could have been one of the numerous little creations flying insistently into him or otherwise something that normally prodded him in his sleep. But as the poking became more intently and a loud Hello! sounded so close to his sensitive ears it turned out that they really were cat ears that stood up a good three inches above his head when perked up by the noise. From around his waist a tail began swishing and coiling in an odd way with both having small black stripes running down the length of the appendages, but even though it made him more comfortable not having to keep his ears and tail hidden the insistent poking was driving him further and further out of sleep until he looked up with bleary slitted eyes still hazy with sleep. When Lox was sleeping or just waking up he wasn't totally in control of his more... interesting features or instincts, and leaning his head to the side he actually nipped at her hand with teeth that were a bit to prickly for a full humans but actually purred in an odd contented kind of way because the scent tickling his nose was something he could really get used to. It didn't register he was nipping someones wrist, and instead of waking up he simply curled into a ball and continued his half sleep with his tail flicking out every now and then behind him. Earlier he had been severely pissed, and the only thing that really calmed him was to sleep it off even for a short amount of time. As much as he wanted to continue his comfortable sleep the poking continued in vigor, and he was tempted to nip the pestering prodding away until wakefulness hit him like a lightning bolt. His eyes flew open and in one jerk his whole body had shifted back a good foot from the intruder of his room, his tail fluffed out until it was just one long fuzzy mass three times it's normal size and his ears were pinned back as he glared at the woman standing beside him. The same bitch who blamed him for causing an uproar, the girl who basically said he was an attention whore with no right to stir up trouble and now she was here, seeing something he had kept so closely guarded for the few years he had attended the academy. What the hell did I do to you? He demanded, looking more like he was going to bite her than actually use any sort of magic against her. Why? He was simply dumbfounded that someone could so persistently try to piss him off when it was obvious he wasn't pursuing a motive for revenge or a personal vendetta against them. This wasn't how he wanted to be found out, hell he hadn't wanted anyone here to know a god damn thing about his extra features until he was long gone from the academy with the writ of approval giving him leave to study on his own and create as he pleased. He had been banished to the tower because he didn't get along with people but GODS why had the total screw ball show up in his room after he TRIED to forcefully eject them all from his tower? He felt like doing a who lot of biting and venting but he knew there was no way he could bring himself to something like murder... so how in the nine hells was he going to get her to keep her flagrant mouth shut about this little discovery... I don't suppose you could just... NEVER SPEAK of the ears and tail could you? He nearly hissed at her in his turmoil at possible expulsion for lying about his species upon entering the academy.
