Konoe did stop and stare while the other man did, not sure what to do in this situation other than freeze. He felt self-conscious, and Zephyr thinking it was wierd was making it worse. Everyone was having such strange reactions that he was wondering if there really was something wrong with him.

"Everyone's been saying that. I've never seen people like you before, but I'm apparently the strange-looking one," he growled, nearly nicking himself with a fang. Konoe froze again when he remembered what that other obnoxious man had told him, his tail curling up into a tight ball.

He had to ask. He had to know if that was a thing. "Do I-do I really look like a fetish? Like...?"
He couldn't even finish the sentence.
