Cub was sat on a bench, watching Grian fly about in the skies. He had sent the recording to both Xisuma and Ren and was now waiting for one of the two to show up and decide what was going to happen.

Grian had been through so much at such a young age...it was awful. It was now understandable for his behaviour, him acting out, him cursing people out. It was a trauma response. If he hurt people, people couldn't hurt him back.

He gave a glance up at Grian and smiled. He male looked so happy and free while flying. It almost wasn't worth putting those belts back around his wings...almost.

"Hi!"

Cub glanced to his side and smiled "Hey scar...X busy?"

"Yeah. He's just down there-" the vex pointed to one of the shuttles "Docs having an episode and so is dealing with him. I was told about Grian. How is he coping?" He jumped over the bench and sat next to his friend, leaning his head against his shoulder.

"He's...yeah he's coping" Cub chuckled "I let him fly around for 15 minutes as a reward for opening up to me even though he really didn't want to. And he did also kind of deserve something good to happen. We haven't been the best hosts in the world"

"Yeah...well how long has it been and whatcha thinking after the flying? You gonna force him back into the straps or-?"

"Maybe...though I'm sort of nervous, he's been flying slightly further and further away with ever loop. So he'll fly in one direction and then fly back to me and loop it. But in each loop, he's getting further and further off to the point I can't see him very well...I might reign him in now. GRIAN!"

Grian heard his name but ignored it, flying around still. He was full on just gonna fly off. He opened up to them...so now if they want to use that Information, they'd have to catch him

"He's leaving! Fuck!" Cub shot to his feet, watching the winged male fly away.

"I'll contact eveyeone. He'd eventually stop and land out if tiredness so someones bound to see him. Hes in the direction of the shopping district so I'll go-"

"No you won't. You've been back from the hospital for two days and you're already refusing to go into your wheelchair. I'm going after him to the shopping district. You sit in your wheel chair, recover, and tell everyone to look around" Cub basically scolded his friend as he already took off by foot to find Grian.

Grian landed by a large tree. Clearly not a natural spawned tree but nonthless it looked cool as fuck. He looked at it, smiling as the textures all fell together, the colours amazing, the detail was just...wow!

He walked closer to it, placing a hand on one of the tree barks. It felt like a proper tree. As if it had grown naturally but it clearly hadn't

"Wow..." He whispered, looking up. The builder in him leapt for joy at the sight of it. He'd always wanted to do something like this, he wanted to live here, he wanted this build...but he wanted it in his style.

It would be a cherry tree to remind him of...and it would be a pink cherry tree. It would be utterly beautiful and sweet and pretty. The warm summers breeze hit his wings making them flutter.

He hand them wide open, he had them closed off to long and so needed them to stretch.

"Pretty int it"

Grians head snapped to the side, spotting a blue male leaning on the branch. He had his hands stuffed into his pockets of his white hoodie. His skin was a see through blue. He was a blue slime. Not green...blue

"Yeah I come to admire iskalls work pretty frequently actually. Though the male needs a health check sometimes. I mean he doesn't know the difference between starter base and Mega build" he make chuckled, dulling his head back so it was leaning agaisnt the tree bark. "you good at building?"

Grian nodded "...yeah"

"We always need more builders. We have so many redstoners and so many doctors but not as many builders. I myself, am not a builder. I get tango to build and Redstone my builds for money" he chuckled

"I can't do redstone at all...I always break what I touch so I don't touch it"

"You a hybrid?"

"Sorta..."

"You're not a bird...are you?"

"No I'm not"

"What...are you?"

Grian sighed and looked down at the floor "I don't wanna talk bout it. You seem cool and I like you just...you'll tell your Admin or your King or your Kings rookies and I don't want them to know. They don't need to know...I'll leave soon anyway"

The slime nodded before standing up properly and walked next to him. He stood besides him and just looked at the tree with him.

"I was like that. Sure I'd leave with a few days, hours, minutes, seconds of being here but look at me now. I've been here for several years and I'm loving it. See...weather you realize it but I have an issue with regulating my emotions. I come off cold and a know it all or I come off as weak and dumb. So when I came here, I expected to be shoved away like the other servers I was in but X took me in with open arms. X is our admin-"

"Your admin-Yeah I know"

"But no yeah, he took me in and helped me sort my emotions out. So I'm nicer now and people can more a less understand what I need and want." He smiled "I'm Jevin by the way"

"Kevin?"

"No no-Jevin. With a Jay. Not a Kay"

"Weird ass name" Grian giggled "I'm Grian" he put his hand out "X wants to sort my anger out or some shit. Dunno...but I won't be here for long, Trust me...i won't"
