Once Ruin and Earth were done chatting Moon walked up to Ruin.

"Hey, uh are you busy?" Moon asked.

"Huh? Oh Moon! No, no, not at all!" Ruin exclaimed happily.

"Okay, can I sit here?" He referred to the chair beside him.

"S- sure, sure. Wha- what would you like to talk about?" Ruin stuttered.

Moon figured it was just the seriousness in his voice and tone maybe even body language.

"Okay, I've noticed something during our last encounter that'd I'd like to talk about." Moon paused.

"A- alright!" Ruin shifted uncomfortably.

"So." Moon started, unsure of how to phrase it. "Uh, okay..."

"Take your time," Ruin mentioned patiently.

There it is again.

"So, I've been getting this weird feeling around you, like- like you seem so happy? But there's an underlying negative that I can't not notice... It's odd," Moon mentioned bluntly.

"O-oh! Uhm, I don't know.. I- uh I mean I guess I've been a bit anxious lately?" Ruin stuttered "That might be it, yes..?"

"I guess... Thanks." Moon stood.

Moon headed back out of the daycare doors, he would take a walk to clear his mind.

This still doesn't seem right. It makes sense but it still seems odd. Maybe I should talk to Earth or Solar about this.

So he did, he pulled out his phone and dialed Earth's office.

"Hello! Lunar speaking, how could I help you on this fine evening?"

"Hey, I'd like to make an appointment?" Moon asked.

"For whom?"

"Me, Moon?"

"Moon, have you been here before?"

Moon sighed. "Yes."

"Alrighty! How is that spelled?"

"M, o, o, n."

"Okay. Would Friday work?"

"Oh! Uh yeah." Moon was pleasantly surprised on how early that was.

"Alrighty thanks for calling!" Lunar hung up.

Moon sighed, he was used to the little bit Lunar liked to play. It was goofy and silly but it wasn't entirely annoying and it wasn't something he could or even wanted to stop. It was perfectly fine.

Moon began on his way home.

He was tired.

When he got home he greeted Sun and went upstairs.

"Hey wait! Moon?" Sun called.

"Yes?"

"Are you doing alright?"

"I'm fine."

"Alright..."

Moon laid down and fell asleep quickly.
