[Ren waves a hand, as if to say he didn't mean to offend, because that droop in his ears was pretty obvious.] I don't think either of them actually exist in my world, so that's why I might sound ignorant...we kind of have the idea of wolf people, we just call them something different. But that doesn't mean I don't want to learn more about you.

[Because hey, Ren can appreciate all kinds of animal people. Even if the main wolf person he can think of that he's ever dealt with even by proxy was...not a great dude, because apparently even interplanetary entities named Fenrir can't escape the connotations of the name.

Ren curls a hand under his chin thoughtfully.] I guess the main thing is how you'd usually go about washing a tail and ears like this, since someone told me not to get my tail too wet...and how to brush fur without it hurting. I don't know that brushes designed for human hair would work very well for that. But if you can think of anything else he's said about keeping it looking nice, then I wouldn't mind knowing that too.
