Mumbo didn't sleep, he did nod off once and while but mostly stayed awake in case he was killed in his sleep and he didn't exactly trust The Watcher.

"Good Morning!"
Mumbo realised The Watcher was awake and had food,"I made breakfast, have a bit and I'll get you the bluepapers.", The Watcher then opened a hatch and went down to, presumably, the Mansion.
Mumbo looked at the food, unsure if it was a trick or not but if The Watcher needed him to fix the portal and get back to his presumably home.
. . .
Mumbo took a few bites of the food, which was actually pretty good so he was just happy he got food but he still felt unsafe about falling asleep around here.
"Glad you like the food!", The Watcher had returned, with blueprints,"Sorry, I'm not a chief.", "Me neither, I'm a Redstoner.", The Watcher nods,"Great! Well, here they are and I hope they are clear for you.", he held out the rolled up blueprints to Mumbo,"Oh. . . Uh. . . Thanks um. . .?", "Oh, right! I never introduced myself; I'm Grian!", he heldnout his hand, Mumbo shook it,"Mumbo.", Grian smiled,"We're off to a good start of friendship!", Mumbo took he blueprints and unrolled them, spreading them on the table to get an idea of the Portal and how it could be fixed up and running.

"You okay?"
Impulse's broke, but he fell in the swamp water but you could hear how hard he hit the water.
"Yeah. . . Just sore from it. . .", "This is why you keep your legs straight or dive in the water and not do a belly flop.", "Not like I was trying to!", as Impulse and Ren argued, Etho turned to Scar and Pearl,"How close are we, we may need to take a break.", "Pretty far still, but yeah we may need to camp here for the night, last thing we want is to be attacked by a phantom.", everyone nods and agrees, Scar nods,"Alright! And we'll restart our journey at the crack of dawn!", so everyone pulled out tents and took a break.

Mumbo fiddled around with the Redstone, periodically looking at The Watcher, or Grian, who was petting and talking to a parrot that might have been a pet.
Little odd, for a bird to have a pet bird. . .?
"I thought you'd be taller.", Grian turned around, he chuckled,"Yeah, Watchers are meant to be quite tall but I am a little different.", Grian stands, "I know, but there is benefits being able to shapeshift.", Mumbo was confused, but Grian showed him by changing his height,"This is my actual height, but I hate it because I hate being the short Watcher so I'm able to make my height much taller.", he changed his height back,"Much better. That and I'd like to make it look like I had gained height while I was trapped here.", Mumbo chuckled, "I won't say anything.", "Thank you.", Grian gave a thumbs up, then turned to the parrot that had stopped dancing,"Why did you stop dancing? Dance.", Mumbo shook his head as Grian went to threaten the parrot, the portal wasn't as complicated as he thought it was going to be, of course there was parts that looked complicated but wasn't as complicated as it appeared to be.

Mumbo jumped at the sound of TNT going off, he turned and looked down and saw a The Watcher, Grian, flew back laughing,"Now, that was funny!", he landed, Mumbo shuddered,"W-What did you do?", "Just blew a camp site near by, can't have anyone get close to here, last thing I'd want is you to leave before you can help me get home.", Mumbo began to sweat, he jumped when the Watcher just pats him on the shoulder,"Don't worry, I won't kill ya, you're helping me get home so you're in my book of good people.", Mumbo smiled nervously, he wondered who the heck The Watcher blew up.

"THAT DAMN WATCHER!!"
. . .
Etho stood up and dusted himself off,"Something tells me that Watcher hates us fir trying to hunt it.", "No kidding."
