Sanctum was on plant island this night. The moon was peaking through the forest, casting a dark blue light in the small clearing. Sanctum didn't know why he had agreed to meet Clubbox. Couldn't he just get away from him?

Since their last few encounters, he had made Sanctum uncomfortable near him, and after Sanctum finally fought back, he was yelled at and left to deal with his emotions, even though Clubbox was clearly in the wrong. Hopefully Clubbox had a good explaination for his misdeeds.

The forest was chirping with birds, then slowly, crunching grass grew closer, and when he turned, he saw Clubbox, glowing all around like a flashlight, illuminating the area around him.
Clubbox walks over, and sits down next to him and puts his head onto hus shoulder. "H-Hey, i made it here!"
Clubbox said with a slight smile.

Sanctum did not reply, watching him with a keen eye, though his eyes were coins, and had no expression

"...You seem kinda upset though..About what happened?" His voice is soft but still there's an edge of concern in it. "What's wrong?" he asks gently as he wraps his arms around Sanctum.

Sanctum was still silent, but he crossed his arms over his chest, bringing his legs up, and looking up towards the moon silently.
"I-It's okay...I can tell something is bothering you so please dont hold back...I care for you," he says softly, "I'm not gonna judge or anything if its bad stuff...just talk to me.." He held him tightly, taking in his light flower scent.

Sanctum was still not responding, bugs and critters being the only ones calling back through the forest and slight wind.
"its okay..you can take your time, im in no rush sweetie..." He gently strokes his back. "I just want you to know you can trust me with anything..you can be completely honest with me..." He whispers soothingly

He still doesn't reply, but his tail started to lightly wrap around Clubbox's leg, the small fluffy end flicking against it. Even if he hated him, there was still something about him that drew him back, even though he wanted nothing more than to get away.

Clubbox took a deep breath, smiling softly once more. "Okayyy...I see that something is bothering you...im gonna bet that it has to do with me. correct?"

Sanctum nodded in reply, not looking over to him.
Clubbox smiled warmly. "Well then lets get straight to the point shall we? why did you stop talking to me all of sudden?" he looks at you intently "is it because i was too clingy? too needy? too annoying? too pushy? too forward? too whatever else?"

Sanctum only crossed his arms around his chest, still refusing to speak.

Clubbox looked to him with concern. "Please don't shut yourself off from me again..." Clubbox sighs deeply. "If this is really hurting you then i will never force myself onto you...but i need to understand why you're shutting yourself away like this" He leans in closer to him.

Sanctum moved his head away from him, his coin-like eyes tied to his branches clinked together as he did.

Clubbox pouted playfully. "Come on now...don't make me beg!" He chuckles mischievously. "Tell me what's going through your mind right now.." He reaches out and grabs Sanctum's chin firmly, forcing him to meet his gaze once more. "Please."

Sanctum paused, opening his mouth before closing it again, debating what he should say back.

Clubboz gently caresses his cheek "Now we're getting somewhere...I would never want to hurt you or make you feel uncomfortable...but sometimes I get so excited and emotional that i may come across as clingy..."
