"Grian, why is there a pouch under your pillow?"

"Huh?"

Scar had knocked Grian's pillow off his bed. See, The Magic Mountaineers had decided to host a sleepover at Grian's place, as he had the massive Salmon Hall which could store everyone in a fun area.

Pretty much everyone was looking at Grian confused, except Mumbo- he had asked, about 20 times, before Grian finally revealed what he stored (along with Pearl, Jimmy and Martyn, apparently). All-in-all, it was weird as fuck.

Grian, on the other hand, didn't find it weird- he'd been doing this for far too long to think too hard about it. Grian takes the little pouch, checking its contents- not even full. Hm. His hand shimmers, producing bedrock within it, which he slips into the soft black pouch.

"Di- did you just make bedrock?? Why are you hoarding bedrock under your pillow??"

Grian blinks at Joel.

"What? Pearl does it too."

"Why does Pearl-"

Gem is questioning Grian's actions, and blatant use of magic (which was often rather taboo on Hermitcraft) when Mumbo taps his shoulder.

"grian, literally no one else does this or knows about whatever you're doing this for."

"..I suppose you're right."

He removes a piece of bedrock from the pouch, holding it in his hand.

"I keep a little bedrock under my pillow for the Watchers."

"what?? who???"

"WHY ARE YOU INVOLVED WITH WATCHERS??"

Grian continued on, ignoring the questions.

"Incase they come to town.."

It was simple, really. The Watchers needed bedrock to construct and manage their games- but, since they have a third, they need his power too. So, Grian gives bedrock to 1 and 2 whenever they slip by, in exchange for not being dramatically kidnapped again.

Works for both parties!

His friends are still confused. How does he explain it without giving away he's a Watcher?

"I keep a little bedrock under my pillow for the Watchers,"

And, you know, every other member of Evolution does it too. It's more of an unspoken 'don't touch this person', a way to obtain more magic should they need it- Grian produces all of the bedrock, of course.

It only really affects people once under the direct control of the Watchers. No one else has this issue.

No one else is Grian, though.

No one else is getting it, either!"

"So they won't take me down,"

Slightly alarmed looks. Great! Wonderful! Hopefully, this wouldn't cause the Watchers to go after anyone else. Sure, the bedrock creating thing is extremely easy- a second nature to Watchers, but making so much wouldn't be fun- and, it'd give the Watchers an idea of what they could do with more bedrock. Then they'd probably try to kidnap him.

That wouldn't be good!

"To their lair, deep under the hub, underground.."

Okay, it's actually in a really broken version of the End, but still. Point given. Hopefully they'd take a good lesson about Watchers from this. That's the least Grian can do, right? Without fully telling anyone why they're dangerous?

"That's where they keep their bed-rock."

Grian finished, tucking the pouch under his pillow and rearranging his little bed. Everyone's giving him blank stares, except Mumbo, who's making his own little bed.

"So, to get this right, you hoard Bedrock under your bed in fear of 'Watchers'?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

There was a beat of silence. Grian opens his wings, shifting the feathers.

"what're watchers?"

"Eldritch Gods."

"ELDRITCH WHAT-"

Grian giggled. More concerned and alarmed looks. He looks up from his wings to his friends, still giggling.

"it's fine! the bedrock keeps them pleased."

"right.."

Another few beats of silence. Mumbo coughs. Grian stretches his wings, hitting Gem into the pool of water, who yelps loudly.

"OH, GEM, I'M SO SORRY-"

Gem, now sopping wet, breaks out a fishing rod and drags Grian down with her- who grabs Scar's hand, dragging him down too.

Pretty soon, Joel, Impulse and Mumbo were fleeing from the fishing rods of doom. Laughing filled the cylindrical room, tales of Watchers forgotten.

In the morning, the bedrock still remained.
