Vav is visiting Mogar at his home in the treehouse that was built after X-ray and Vavs failed attempt. "You know X-ray is a little... distant..." He says as the two sit in the main area. "It's starting to worry me. I mean he says that he's fine but... still..." He hangs his head. "I just am no longer sure if I actually believe him when he just brushes it off as that he is fine." He sighs. "One thing that I don't understand is why he won't tell me what is going on. Aren't we friends? What's wrong with telling your friends what is wrong..." He takes a moment to take a slightly deep breath before continuing. "I am just worried..." He blinks in surprise when his chin is gently grabbed only for his head to be tilted back up so the two's eyes meet.

"Mogar understand Vavs worry." Mogar tells him.

"Say. Do you think you could talk to him?" Vav asks getting an idea. "Maybe it's just something he doesn't want to tell me for whatever reason. So please Mogar... Please find out what is wrong with him." "

"Mogar shall try." Mogar responds with a nod as he releases Vav's chin.

Vav smiles softly. "Thank you!" He says and hugs Mogar glad that the other has agreed to help.

Mogar returns the hug being careful to not crush the other.

Later...

X-ray is walking along the streets by the edge of town on his own almost as if he is kind of lost in thought.

Mogar looks around then once he notices the other he heads on over towards the other. He approaches him from behind. "X-ray." He says to get the others attention.

X-ray stops and turns to Mogar who also stops walking. "Yes?" He questions turning to fully face the bear like man. He keeps his gaze on the other lad as he awaits for an answer.

"What wrong?" Mogar asks keeping their eyes locked together.

"Nothing." X-ray flashes the other a smile. "I'm fine."

Mogar doesn't look all that convinced as he seems to stare at X-ray expectantly.

"Mogar." X-ray sighs with his eyes dropping to half open he then closes his eyes for a moment only to open them back to normal as he looks to the other trying to seem alright. "Really. It's ok. There's nothing to worry about."

Mogar crosses his arms over his chest in response to that obviously not believing his act.

"I'm fine. Please don't worry." X-ray tells him.

"Why is X-ray pushing friends away?" Mogar asks him.

"I think you might have a wrong idea. I'm not doing that." X-ray tells him raising his hands out in front of him slightly.

Mogar shakes his head slightly closing his eyes for a moment as he does this. He opens his eyes as he stops shaking his head to look to the other lad that is in front of him.

"There is nothing to discuss." X-ray says lowering his hands back to his sides then he turns and runs off away from Mogar.

Mogar is about to give chase but a hand grabbing his arm stops him though he didn't struggle as he could have broken the persons shoulder very easily. He turns to see who it is and finds Vav.

"Chasing him won't help." Vav tells him then sighs closing his eyes. "Why is he pushing us away?" He questions sadly.

"Mogar does not know." Mogar responds glancing back to where X-ray ran off as he wonders himself why X-ray is acting like this.

What could X-ray be hiding from them that is so important to keep hidden at least in X-ray's view? Could it be something terrible that he is ashamed of? Or perhaps it is something that X-ray is just stuck on answers for yet it is something that X-ray wants to get the answers for by himself.

Vav looks down hurt and sad by how X-ray is acting. "I... I thought that the three of us were friends and friends tell friends what's wrong..." He sighs again as Mogar turns back to face him again. "I just don't understand why he's pushing us away." He says sadly watching the ground. "I mean if I had done something like that one time then I would understand why he is angry with him... But... There isn't a single thing that I can think of that I could have done wrong... That I could have done to make him become so distant and... And... To push away offered help... I just wish he would tell me what it is that I have done wrong then maybe he would stop pushing us away... Then maybe we will have our friend back..."

Mogar brings Vav into a hug, careful not to squish him, who is surprised at first but he then returns it closing his eyes to enjoy the hug he is getting from Mogar.

.....................

X-ray finally allows himself to slow down leaving him slightly panting as he hunches over with his hands on his knees for a few moments to catch his breath. He straightens as soon as he has caught his breath and he looks back but doesn't see anyone following him making him sigh in relief. He turns away to look at where he is.

There are some trees here and there with a few forest looking areas and fields with only small hills.

"The country side..." X-ray says to himself as he comes to the conclusion of where he is exactly as he notices what looks like a farm or two in the distance. "I ran out to the country side." He closes his eyes taking a slightly deep breath only for a breeze to pass by him only for a moment before it dies down to stillness. He opens his eyes looking off into the distance as he is about to let himself begin to think to himself but one thing stops him from doing so.

"Greetings."
