in true wizard fashion, loux is a hoarder. deeply unfortunate, as he simply will not get rid of anything and doesn't really care if he ends up amassing enough crap to start a fire if he so much as farts the wrong way. he likes things, the type to collect lunchmeat tupperware to stuff full of sewing needles and thread, or buttons, mouse bones, feathers, and blackwyrm sacs. cookie tins for brachio seeds, old cigarette tins for harpy eyes, mason jars for blackwyrm eggs, beholder eye stalks, and gas adder acid bladders. crate upon crate of tungskin ready for sale, near endless stacks of old textbooks and stolen tomes, scrolls and diagrams, writs and treatises, crystals and gemstone clusters in wide range of shapes and sizes, hutches, display cases, stolen artifacts and weapons both human and nightfolk, cabinet upon cabinet of jarred alchemical ingredients and ritual tools - and a closet that'd blow any unreasonably wealthy person out of their own walk-in, both masculine and feminine.

he's by no means messy and keeps absolutely everything labeled and organized, regularly going through and tossing what's expired, outdated, or otherwise useless to him and replacing it all later - but he has so much. about the only thing that's regularly disorganized is his desk, and that's not likely to change since it's a place he can be found frequenting - the mess is basically in constant rotation between research, balancing his ledger, going through his records, transitory poition-making since he's a pacer, so on and so forth. that's where he does most of his...well, anything, be it magic or even sleeping (he really only sleeps in his bed if he has a partner). anyway, he keeps everything else very clean, charming a number of common household cleaning tools to automatically sweep, dust, make the bed, scrub the dishes, etc. so that, even while he's away, where he lives is always neat and organized.
