It often accentuates something L'yhta's saying or betrays her feelings when she's trying (and largely failing) to be deceptive. This thread has some tail motions that could be used in RP.
Oh yeah, I def use it for emotions when she's strongly feeling something -- but more than that. Â You know, like using it to point, or tap someone, or using it like people use their hands when they're really engrossed in a topic of discussion. Â Using it to carry something light when the character's hands are full, that sort of thing. Â Typically for me, unless it's an emotional thing, it just hangs there dead, unmentioned, unless she's trying to hide the kink in it.
Though I still don't use it often enough for emotions, really.
Sato is fairly expressive with his tail. He doesn't use it to point with, but he will occasionally do things like brush it against someone when he's being affectionate, largely because I think that would be something a Miqo'te would still do. Not every motion a cat would do sits well with me, but the playful aspect of that, plus it being away of showing ownership, would seem about right.
The ears are a lot of fun, too, and people seem to respond well to that sort of expression. Ears swiveling, perking up, flattening back irritatedly, drooping when sad, and twitching a bit when thoughtful all sort of make for fun, vibrant body language.
Characters: M'sato Tia (Lost Soul Seeker), Soren Walker (Ishgardian Midlander Pilot), Solomon Laguerre (Elezen Mercenary/Bar Manager)
