[It's very tempting - as much as he hates it - to launch into why he's so concerned, but that will send them hurtling down a road towards a topic that he knows neither of them want to touch, and will catastrophically reduce the chances of this door being opened.
Dammit. Is he the one being unreasonable? Is this just an overreaction?]
...
[Should he just drop it?]
...I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'd just...like to check. Please don't ask me why.

If you're going to be this insistent, I think I deserve to know why...?
[Pretty much everything about this is summarized with "I don't know why you think this will work", up to and including doing all of this and then telling him that you're just not going to explain why.]

[There's a lot of silence from the other side of the door, in response to that; Sycamore is currently resting his head against it while he tries to put his thoughts in order. It seems there are three options here - 1) continue to ask Lysandre to open the door (bad), 2) tell him why he wants him to open the door (worse) or 3) say goodbye and promptly return to his apartment (??? but probably not...good).
Ugh.]
You're not going to like it.

Good.
[It takes him a moment to get the door unlocked, but he does manage; he...well, physically he seems fine? If there are any traits he's picked up they either haven't come in yet or they're easily concealed; either way, he seems mildly agitated but generally acceptable.]
It's as I've said, I'm fine.

[...it's a technicality, but he'll allow it. Anyway, once he's determined that yes, there are no visible scorch marks around the place, Sycamore straightens up and closes the distance somewhat, so they're standing in front of each other.]
What are your main symptoms? Other than imitating a fire-type, of course.
[Don't think he's unaware that there's a good chance you feel awful and are just stoically hiding it.]

...Agitation, primarily. I don't feel entirely lucid, and it's frustrating me. Any physical effects are currently minimal. I don't know how likely it is for them to stay that way or if they're going to intensify.
It...does feel like something is off that I can't quite place. Again, it's frustrating but nothing I can't handle.
[It...is only the first full day of this shit, however, so...]

[...mmhmmm that's what he's concerned about...he'll do his best not to show it too much on his face, however, and will put his hands in the pockets of his lab coat (mainly to do something with them).]
That sounds rather standard. You'll likely find that the agitation will intensify into full-blown anger soon, and you may also find yourself being possessive and feeling the need to tell the network about it.
[...so many angry shitposts on the network during this time of the month, mon ami...]
Gosh, listen to me....I sound like a doctor. I don't mean to! I've just made the moonblessings my unofficial new research focus. It keeps me busy.

Honestly, I'd be more surprised if you hadn't found something like that to focus on here. It seems the sort of thing that would interest you.
[So there's...that...]
I don't want you coming over while things become more severe. I don't like the idea of taking out any sort of aggression on you.

It does! It's the closest thing I'll get to Mega Evolution here, with an added bonus that I can participate myself! I've made so many notes about Iris, I could practically earn another PhD.
[He may be exaggerating slightly, but there are...many notes. So much to say, so little time!
Anyway, that last comment will dull his smile a fair bit.]
I understand your hesitation, I just...I don't know. My first moonblessing period was dreadful, I hate the thought of you having to suffer it alone. I know, I know, I can't help, and you're exactly right in that you shouldn't have any easy targets around, I just...
[He just.....he just. Stupid emotions, etc.]

[That will actually make him laugh, but it's far more on the...
...on the 'fuck my life' side rather than the genuinely funny side.]
I'll try to keep it scientific.
[Maybe less...Yashiro.]
Iris is like Sanguis in that it intensifies emotions, just in an opposite manner. You feel things far deeper, in terms of your relationships with people, and you're struck by an overwhelming desire to be gentle and kind, nurturing and generous. Thinking of those who are more acquaintances than friends can make you feel warm, so thoughts of actual friends make you want to weep. It's...heavy.
[You can fill in the blanks, in terms of...complicated relationships.]
There's also physical effects that...[arceus above, how does he phrase this] encourage sexual intercourse, but I can spare you the gory details.
