Not at all! You know, out of all the kitsune, I'm the one with the best eye for beauty. That's all.

[It's a heavy but honest compliment. Really, he'd love to get his hands on that hair, but without a nice brush there's no point. And he only has his tail brush with him...what a sad situation. He'd never use a fur brush on Percival's hair.]

Now it sounds like you're trying to flatter me. Could you maybe talk more about how soft my hair and ears are?

[You know, just friendly suggestions? This is a normal thing to ask a bud, don't think too much on it, Percival. He's completely still while his hair is stroked. It's soft and clean, as one would expect from him within five minutes of knowing him.]
