using alastor's ears to indicate emotion is finding a balance between keeping the design language intact and expressing his emotions. so for most of this, his ears are not so much pinned back flat (that would be more noticeable) but more loosely held to indicate he's relaxed and comfortable

now onto the backstory! this is a bit of a simpler scene but still had a lot of character moments. I looove drawing box vox, he's such a little cutie. and actually in the initial version I had Alastor way meaner/unhinged but was told to pull back a bit hahah
