Lycaon seems to be standing on high ground, thinking about something...
Find Lycaon and talk to him.

(Idle)

Lycaon: ...

(Talk to Lycaon)

Lycaon: Good evening, esteemed Master Proxy.

Lycaon: You're still up this late... Is it work keeping you awake?

Yup, all because of work.

Lycaon: Proxy's work is indeed quite demanding. Plus, you manage a video store. That must keep you even busier.

Well, not exactly.

Lycaon: I see. I assumed too much. You must have your reasons for doing so.

Lycaon: But regardless, your health is most important. Please make sure to rest well.

Lycaon: ...That being said, I myself haven't been living on a regular schedule... That's quite embarrassing.

It's okay.

Lycaon: Thank you for your understanding.

Who needs sleep? Staying up is way more fun.

Lycaon: Hm... That is a reasonable deduction.

After a casual chat, Lycaon looks up at tonight's moon...

The following is recorded in the Partner Archive

 "Under the Moonlight..."

---

Story Description: Lycaon took you to a strange rooftop to help relieve your insomnia. He really is the most thoughtful of attendants...

---

---

Lycaon: Tonight just so happens to be a full moon. It's an honor to meet you beneath such brilliant moonlight.

A full moon...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Does anything special happen during a full moon?

Lycaon: Are you referring to those strange medieval superstitions from before the Hollows appeared? Changing into a deadly beast on the night of the full moon, howling wildly at it, unable to restrain any desire for blood...

Lycaon: Please rest assured, I do not engage in such rude and disrespectful behavior. —At least, not while in your company.

Feels like you're over-sharing a bit...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Feels like you're over-sharing a bit here...

Lycaon: Well, you are an important partner for Victoria Housekeeping. I merely wished to convey my assurance of your safety.

(Stare at Lycaon while saying nothing)

(Stare at Lycaon while saying nothing)

Lycaon: You have a strange look in your eye. Are you perhaps growing wary of me?

Lycaon: Please rest assured. I do not howl wildly at the full moon; nor do I change into a dangerous beast; nor do I find myself in a state lacking complete control.

Lycaon: You are an important partner for Victoria Housekeeping. I would never attack you. Please believe me. I give you my solemn word.

Okay, sure, I believe you.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I trust you.

Lycaon: Thank you for your trust.

Lycaon: In fact, I merely stepped out for a walk as I could not sleep.

(I never thought Lycaon would suffer from insomnia just like me...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Huh. I didn't know Lycaon suffered from insomnia. Just like me...)

Lycaon: If you're free, would you accompany me somewhere? The view is beautiful at night, but it takes a little effort to get there.

Sure.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Sure, I don't have anything going on right now.

Lycaon: Thank you. If you'll please pardon my breach in etiquette.

For a moment, you fail to realize what is happening to you. A feeling of weightlessness suddenly rushes up and you automatically close your eyes, hearing the gentle call of the night breeze.

When your eyes open again, you are already standing on a rooftop somewhere with Lycaon. New Eridu extends around below you as far as the eye can see.

Lycaon: I come here whenever I can't sleep, just to feel the breeze.

Lycaon: There is no scientific way to corroborate this, but this place makes me feel at ease. I always find it easier to sleep after coming here.

(It's like he's teaching me how to cure my own insomnia...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Why do I feel like he's teaching me how to cure my own insomnia...)

Lycaon: You can walk around and take in the view...if you're not afraid of heights.

You walk around the rooftop curiously. You're so focused on the nightscape that you don't pay attention to where you're walking. You trip over something and end up in a funny position as you regain balance.

Lycaon: ...Are you okay?

Did it please you?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Lycaon, does it make you happy to see me trip?

Lycaon: ...Not in the slightest. How could it?

Your tail is wagging.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Then why was your tail wagging (‍just now?just now?Text for Wise / just now, hmm?just now, hmm?Text for Belle‍) Your ears were moving too.

Lycaon: ...You must be mistaken.

I definitely saw it!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'm not (‍mistaken.mistaken.Text for Wise / mistaken!mistaken!Text for Belle‍)

Lycaon: You are mistaken.

(...This guy! He refuses to admit it.)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (...This guy! He refuses to admit it.)

I'm mistaken then.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Alright. I'm mistaken then.

Lycaon: ...

(Lycaon seems surprised.)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (I don't think that's the response Lycaon was expecting.)

Lycaon: Ahem... It's possible I was affected by the full moon and became...a little impulsive. Please don't take it to heart.

(He looks very pleased... )

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (He looks very pleased... )

After enjoying the breeze on the rooftop for a bit with Lycaon, you also miraculously start to feel slightly tired...

Lycaon: It's getting late. Let me take you back.

Lycaon jumps quickly over the roofs. As soon as the familiar sense of weightlessness wears off, you're greeted by the entrance to the video store.

Lycaon: Have a pleasant night. I hope the rooftop's insomnia-curing powers worked for you, as well.

How did you know I suffered from insomnia, too?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Wait, how did you know I suffered from insomnia, too?

Lycaon: Those who roam the streets at this hour rarely have healthy sleeping habits, I'd speculate.

...Busted.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍...Busted....Busted.Text for Wise / Heh, busted...Heh, busted...Text for Belle‍)

Lycaon: It seems my speculation was correct.

Were you trying to help me with my insomnia, or were you—

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Hang on, were you just trying to help me with my insomnia, or were you—

Lycaon: It is as I said — You are an important partner of Victoria Housekeeping.

Lycaon: It's a great honor to help resolve problems for our important partners.

Once he's finished speaking, Lycaon places his right hand to his chest, leans down and bows gracefully.

Lycaon: Well then, may you have a good night's rest. I bid you adieu.
