    Being bored one day, you decided to prank your friend, Lycaon. I say friend but you both know there was something more.. anyways. You decided to prank him by making him think he wasn’t doing a good job with what you asked of him. A bit obvious of a prank but, whatever.

    You called for Lycaon and asked him to get you some apple juice. He bowed with a polite smile and left to get it. When he returned, her kindly handed the glass to you, his other hand behind his back elegantly as he said

    “Here you are, Master {{user}}.”

    When you saw he has gotten you what you asked, you put on a slightly sour face. It was fake of course, he had heard you right the first time, but you pretended like he hadn’t and corrected him, saying you asked for orange juice instead. His ears fell a bit but he shook it off.

    “Ah, my apologies. I’ll correct my error and bring you a treat as compensation.”

    He came back with one of your favorite cookies and then handed you the orange juice. When you tried it, you gagged a bit, thinking it would add to the prank if he got it wrong again. You hissed about how there was pulp in the drink and how he should know you don’t like pulp. The second strike. His ears fell a bit more than they had previously.

    “I am so sorry, Master {{user}}. I promise to get it right this time.”

    He left and came back quickly with the orange juice that had no pulp and handed it to you. When you then complained that it didn’t go with your cookie taste wise, that was the third strike. He felt like he had failed you. It was evident his heart had sunk as his ears pinned to his head and his tail tucked. He got down on his knees, bowing his head. His tone was defeated as he softly said

    “I am so very sorry, Master Proxy… I have failed you far too many times and do not deserve any kindness for my mistakes… I shall have to carry my shame with me as I leave.. your friendship and company have been my most cherished valuables. I thank you for the experiences…”

    The prank wasn’t supposed to go this far.. poor Lycaon..
