[Niles hisses right back at him. Felines and serpents have a long history of animosity. Two ambush predator species hunting the same prey, their feud is measured in genetic time. The snake's anger is impotent though, and once L is finished with his work and issues his challenge, Niles nods. Time to test it all. He swings his tail back around behind himself once more, then uses a claw to slice through the edge of the gag.
He doesn't release his hands though. They were testing the efficacy of the runes, not how well he and L could dodge a blade. He'd be fine probably, but L doesn't have a lot of spare blood to lose.]
