I think it's mostly because Zuto is using art that I commissioned for Miles here, as well as wanting to know who the guy happens to be. Maybe even see the lengths to which the theft goes. ;3
And I probably would have allowed him to use one as long as he would put that it is not his in the details. I know that time when you don't have any art of your sona. But he didn't ask, and that's not good.
Yeah, it was mostly an icon I got for Miles way back when from a friend of mine. Heck, there are a lot of resources out there for free art for otters nowadays. Unlike Miles I probably would have declined Zuto from borrowing the art for a public display (private IM use, fine by me) but I would have gladly taken 20 minutes and whipped him up a colored little thing on his own otherwise.
Looking out for my Miles like that. :3
