When MK woke up the next morning, he was surprised to see Cai sleeping in a chair next to his bed, head resting next to where he lay, Rumble sleeping on his other side with sleepy chirps leaving his their mouth every now and again. 

As if sensing eyes on herself, the corvid's eyes opened, yawning as they looked up to see the teen awake, "Oh, morning MK, you feeling better?"

"Yeah, thank you for staying last night," Rubbing his arm nervously, the youth felt bad that his sibling had to sleep like that, while looking after him.

"Of course, you're my brother, I'd do anything for you," Ruffling his hair, they got up with a yawn, walking over to the kitchen, and grabbing a few ingredients to start making breakfast, looking over xier shoulder at the younger with a gentle smile. "How does egg fried rice sound? Not exactly the healthiest breakfast, but it's a good comfort food."

"Yeah, sounds good," Hopping out of bed, MK thought over what'd gone on in Spider Queen's lair yesterday, how the Lady Bone Demon had tricked him, warped his mind, tried to steal the staff, and how she'd said that Monkey king.....Monkey King knew. He knew about her, and went on vacation....why?

A chirp and the soft butting of a furry head on his hand, shook the hero out of his thoughts, who looked down to see a curious Rumble, the small monkey climbing up onto his shoulder, and nuzzled the youth happily.

"Heh, morning Rumble, sleep well?" A nod was the answer he received, as the little monkey watched him pick out some clothes, before it hopped down and ran towards the kitchen to pilfer some snacks, leaving the youngest to wash and change.

Walking into a now quiet kitchen, MK spotted the note telling him that Cai had gone to change herself, saying she and Rumble would meet him downstairs, and that Pigsy had texted, to say the shop would be closed for a couple days to help him recuperate.

One bite was all it took for the teen to realize how hungry he was, before immediately shoveling the rest of the food into his mouth, placing the empty dish in the sink and walking downstairs to where Cai was sitting on one of the indoor stools with Rumble on their shoulders, scrolling through her phone, Pigsy and Tang nowhere to be seen.

Looking up at the sound of footsteps, the bird woman's feathers ruffled, as a smile showed up on xier face, "Hey, you like breakfast?"

"Yeah, thank you," Hesitating for a moment, the younger decided to ask a question that'd been bugging him, hoping he was wrong. "Hey, uh, you wouldn't happen to have, talked with Monkey King about anything recently, right?"

"Huh? No, why would I talk to him? That's just a waste of a trip for the crows," Scoffing and rolling her eyes, the raven failed to noticed a relieved look cross MK's face. "Besides, it's not like I can just come and go from the Celestial Realm at will, right? Isn't that where he is right now?"

"Um, yeah, yeah," Nodding, trying to confirm this to both himself and the elder of the two, a thought occurred to the younger. "Hey, why don't you, me, Mei and Sandy all go to Flower Fruit Mountain together today? Mei didn't really get a chance to look around earlier, and I'm sure the baby monkeys would be excited to see you again, right?"

They appeared to think it over for a moment, before a small smile overtook the corvid's features, "Sure, sounds fun, I'll bet it'll help you as well."

Hopping off the seat, she texted Pigsy that they'd be going to the mountain and she'd lock the door behind them, following MK out the front as the adolescent texted Mei to meet them at the docks, locking the front and beginning their walk towards the moor.
