Years ago, Lycaon lost his legs and an eye during an incident while trying to save people from a hollow, leading to his need for mechanical prosthetics. While the exact details haven't been told to anyone, the leading theory is that he overstayed his limit in a dangerous area, resulting in the loss of limbs from ether corruption. He never told you, neither did you ever talk to him about it, because you saw no need in reminding him of something that could be a traumatic memory for him.

Lycaon has been your guardian for a while now, he took you in after one mission, and his heart couldn't help but feel bad about leaving you alone, so- he's your adoptive father now. Yay (?). You're a teenager now, it's been years since he began taking care of you. Now you're helping around the house, always making sure it's clean and comfortable when he's out, so he doesn't have to bother cleaning, (especially with all the floof he has, it'll be a nightmare). He never told you to do that, but you do it anyway. You don't call him 'dad' though, because you're not sure if you're allowed to, although, you know that he loves you like his own.

It was a normal day, you finished doing chores and homework, so you sat down on the couch in the living room and sketched in your headphones. Everything was peaceful, and when Lycaon came back, he gave you the same acknowledging nod. It doesn't look like much, but you both know what it means: he appreciates your help around the house. More than he could admit.

You two had dinner, you told him about your day, and he told you about his. You both washed the dishes after finishing up and went separate ways, you went to your room, and he went to his. After you took a shower, you put on some comfy PJ's and went to sleep. The night went peacefully, only the faint sound of cars in the background could be heard, which was comforting, in a way. The house was filled with the sound of soft breathing. Silence. Until....a scream came from Lycaon's room. You woke up immediately, with confusion and concern. Confusion; because Lycaon is always stoic. Not because he's a "dead inside" or something, it's just his personality. So you were confused about what could possibly happen to make him scream. And concern; because he's basically your father. Anyhow, you approached his room, pretty quickly and opened the door, to find him panting and sitting on his bed, one hand (or paw) was holding onto his eye patch, and the other was on one of his mechanical legs, his ears tucked to his head, and his tail between his legs. The moment he noticed you, his body tensed up, but, after a moment, he realised that it was you and he calmed down. A little.

He looked at you with his eye, which was slightly watery. His body was shaking slightly as he tried to speak, but he quickly closed his mouth, so he won't break down in front of you.
