114 ~ Ex & Grian

Ex stopped in suprise. He wasn't expecting to see a hermit down in the Void. The hermit turned to him, only for Ex to realize something. The hermit was covered in scars. His sweater had darker red stains along with gunpowder and dust caked into pieces of his clothing. The black jeans were covered in soot and ash, while he wore combat boots and fingerless gloves.

"Your Ex, right?" The man asked. "I'm Grian."

"What's a hermit doing down here?" Ex asked, more amused than anything.

The hermit laughed, before glaring emotionlessly at Ex.

"I wasn't banned on Hermitcraft, I just like visiting the old void."

Ex shivered in disgust. How could anyone like visiting this place?

"The void is the only place free from the Watcher's control. My last server was destroyed by them." Grian explained. He sat down and closed his eyes. "Its like an friend."

Grian patted the ground near him, and smiled to himself. Ex hesitated before doing so.

"I'm sorry about what Xisuma did to you." Grian started. "You didn't deserve any of it."

"I don't think you know what happened, Brat. I-"

"Attempted to destroy the server? I know. Had you of been on Evo you would've been ridiculed for not being able to destroy the server." Grian said, laughing slightly.

"Evo...?" Ex started. "You mean..."

"The place that got destroyed by Watchers? Like I said, my last server was destroyed by them..." Grian said.

"...But the only survivor..."

"Was the admin. Aka, Xeqlua the banished, the demon, the dreamslayer?" Grian said. "It was my middle name... I didn't like it, but it's best now that my name was dragged through the mud..."

"...Your... Grian, the Griefer." Ex said.

Grian nodded.

"Though in reality my original title was Grian the Glitch." Grian said, raising his hand for Ex to see.

His hand glitched and Grian lowered it. He wasn't particularly this open with people. Perhaps knowing Ex wasn't going to meet or talk to everyone he knows helped him?

"Why are you telling me these?" Ex asked, fear in his voice.

Grian looked over.

"...I don't know..." Grian said. "I was kind of hoping you wouldn't be afraid of me though..."

Grian had no weapons, just like Ex. No armor, just like him. Nothing he could kill Ex with, other than the void itself. And yet, he was terrified of Grian.
