It never failed--as soon as the hoop was on, the only thing he wanted to do was fan out his tail.
Yeah, it's not...technically awesome, or anything. I just liked the idea of ZEX looking vaugely uncomfortable getting manhandled (VUXhandled?) by some servants. You know, 'cause he's too important to be trusted with dressing himself. They're nowhere near done bedecking him with fancy whatsits, but the canvas was too small to add much more without ZEX turning into a black scribble. :3 I'm not sure what he's getting gussied up for, exactly. Maybe a promotion or a medal or something. Or perhaps a wedding, since now the cracky idea of him being a kind of lousy absentee husband/father is nagging at me. Being single after a certain age was somewhat less than respectable to Victorian minds, after all. BUT YOU CAN FILL IN THE BLANKS HOWEVER YOU LIKE. <3
Poor ZEX, standing for hours on a hot day while ceremonial stuff goes on, with his head tendrils aching and overheating because his tail is all bunched together.
