Root is a minotaur who loves music and merrymaking, so he understandably is phenomenal at drawing crowds! A bull of his size and easy confidence is great at being the center of attention, which unfortunately is the polar opposite of what poor, timid Oxton wants! If people don't stop crowding around them, Oxton might straight up turn invisible and find a quiet, isolated place to cower in...
It wouldn't take long for Root to track him back down should this happen, but it would take a few hours to bring Ox's paranoia back down to tolerable levels!

This piece was expertly crafted by my good friend over at https://twitter.com/dippubear ! He is a fantastic artist who has given visual form to two of my most favorite characters; go and take a gander at his gallery!
