Warless Battles Never End

Xisuma and Joe look at the scene in front of them and then back to each other, deciding this was their moment to leave, they would be back in the morning to talk to the duo. Walking out of the room they make their way back to the familiar black portal, "X?" Joe asks before they enter "Yes Joe?" X replies "Grian's eyes..." he says knowing he doesn't have to add any more else "I- Joe I don't know, I hope we can get him to talk to us" X responds hesitantly.

Life continues on, for the next few days. The situation with Grian still remains in the minds of the Hermits yet no one makes mention of it, not that they didn't try, Xisuma remembers clearly when Stress learned of the event and when to go express that she is always there for a chat only for a dazed Grian to call her 'Mumza.' Now, Xisuma is standing at world spawn waiting, today is when the Prime Admin Orseao is visiting the server. Xisuma sitting on a bench he had built that morning, he watches as the sun moves gradually across the sky shifting colors and temperatures, it is around 6 that he feels the familiar buzz and sees a man appear at spawn.

[Orseao has joined the game]

Approaching the man, he takes notice of his appearance, it is not common to see the Primes outside of their counsel robes. Yet right in front of him stands, similar in stature is a Piglin hybrid man in a golden crown and long hair pulled up in braids "Hello, you are XisumaVoid yes?" He asks in his surprisingly monotone voice "uh, y-yeah, yes I am Xisuma" X stutters out, tripping slightly over his shock, "Yes, thank you for coming, umm, given the circumstance I think it is best if I take you directly to the...site?" he continues motioning the Prime towards the Nether portal. Curiosity shines in Orseao's eyes as they pass through the Hub towards a portal labeled as 'Mumbo.' Stopping in front of the portal Xisuma pauses in front and pulls out his communicator to send a quick message:

                                       Mumbo, can I ask a favor of you? [Xisumavoid][Mumbo] Sure! Im at my base rn, whats up?        I have been picking up server lag from your 

        industrial district, do you mind checking it out?[Xisumavoid]

[Mumbo] Oh gosh! Already?! Im such a spoon! Ill fly over right now!

Taking a breath for a second and looking back to the Prime who saw the messages he speaks "I thought it would be better if this issue stays between as little of my server as possible" he says as he feels his face heat up even more from embarrassment against the nether heat, "Heh, nothing to worry about, that is a normal reaction Xisuma" Orseao responds slapping a hand on Xisuma's back before walking through the portal. Xisuma steps in right after. As they materialize in Mumbo's base he hears wing flaps coming from the living area, assuming Grian is over there he and Orseao make their way over, as they reach the threshold Orseao asks "So, what seems to be the problem?" assuming they are just going to sit and talk, only to be immediately tackled to the ground in a hug much to the shock of both men "Eh!?" is all that Orseao lets out as he composes himself and looks to the winged beast currently entrapping him. Looking down at the mop of patchy blonde hair and surprisingly bright jumper Orseao looks towards Xisuma, who looks horrified at what the winged man did but nods his head in confirmation that this is indeed who he thinks it is. Clearing his throat he starts to speak "Grian...?"
