"Whatever happened surely it wasn't your fault." The Mad King Ryan says. "Did he push you?"

"A little..." X-ray admits.

"Then you probably reacted out of instinct." The Mad King Ryan responds. "Self-defence because you might have felt threatened."

X-ray sighs softly. "I'm not really sure... I yelled at him then suddenly.... I had just attacked him... I only realized what had happened after I calmed down... I tried to apologize... But... I couldn't even get close to him." He rubs his hands down his face before continuing as his hands drop to his lap. "Now I'm only allowed back once to get my stuff."

"Oh Ray... I'm so sorry that happened." The Mad King Ryan says wrapping an arm around X-rays shoulders. "Listen. There's a town I recently found not too far. They let me in and they'll let you in. You won't be under appreciated again."

"You know what." X-ray smiles at the Mad King Ryan. "I accept all of your offers."

The Mad King Ryan smiles. "Then it is settled." He says in agreement. "I can take you to the town and we can get some help to go back to get your stuff." He offers a hand to X-ray who takes it.

The two stand hand in hand and X-ray follows beside the Mad King Ryan as they head to the town.

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

Mogar and Vav have had no luck in finding X-ray and it's starting to get late.

"I don't think he's coming back." Vav sighs. "I think he already left..."

"Mogar sorry."

"It's alright. It's not your fault." Vav assured him. "You did all that you could..." He turns to face the other. "I want to visit my apartment complex and wait for a little bit to see if he comes back but... Can I stay at your place tonight?"

Mogar nods making Vav smile a little.

"Thanks." Vav says appreciatively. "I'll see you a little later."

"Mogar will wait." Mogar nods then they separate for now.

Vav makes it back to the apartment complex only to raise a hand knocking on X-rays door. He gets no answer so he figures X-ray must not be there. He turns and sits down in front of his own apartment door to wait for a bit to see if X-ray will come.

After about four hours X-ray is nowhere in sight.

Vav sighs and gets up. "He probably is spending the night away before coming to get his stuff." He says to himself so with his head low he heads off to go to Mogars place. He climbs in and Mogar comes over to greet him. "Nothing..." He sighs to the other. "I just wish that I could make the city see that he really isn't a villain."

"We can do all we can." Mogar says.

Vav nods. "Yeah... You're right..."

Mogar puts an arm around Vavs shoulders and leads him deeper into his tree house.
