Mumbo whipped around making Grian quickly ball up again. Mumbo gasped and came over, realizing it was Grian. "Gr-Gri?" He choked out.

Grian stayed still, refusing to trust that his friend was really back.

Mumbo leaned forward slightly. "Gri?" He tried again as he moved forward, only to be surprised by Grian looking up unexpectedly.

Mumbo gasped in surprise and swung his paw at him causing Grian to give a sharp cry of pain and cower away from Mumbo quickly, shaking.

Mumbo realized what he did and quickly came over. "Oh! Gri-an!" He coughed, his throat sore.

Grian flinched and balled up crying. "St-stay away!" He cried, fearful.

Mumbo's eyes softened as he carefully padded forward. "Gri-an. I'm sorry..." He tried.

Grian didn't move.

"You st-artled me. I'm sorry." He tried. He coughed again, hating the roughness in his throat. He cleared his throat once more before sighing and stepped forward. "Gri-an, please. I'm-"

"You're not Mumo..."

Mumbo stopped. "Wh-What?"

"He's using you to trick me... trying to make me feel safe when I'm not." Grian said, trying hard to speak despite the muzzle. It didn't help that he refused to unbury his face.

"Grian... It is me! Look at me!"

"You're lying!" He hissed through his sobs.

Mumbo stepped back a bit before looking down, upset that Grian didn't believe him and that he hurt him.

Silence filled the room.

"Bananas."

Grian's ear twitched slightly before Grian's laughter filled the room.

"Mumbo! That's not your line!" Grian fussed, laughing hysterically, easily brushing the muzzle off.

Mumbo laughed, grinning as the others also laughed. "But it made you laugh!"

"You just forgot you're line didn't you?!" Grian accused.

Mumbo glanced away. "...maybe."

"You spoon!" Grian howled with laughter.

"Cut! Guys! Really Mumbo? Is it really that hard?" I fuss with a small laugh.

"It's not my fault..." Mumbo mumbled.

"Alright, alright! Take two!" 

----------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone calmed down and got back in position.

"You st-artled me. I'm sorry." Mumbo tried. He coughed again, hating the roughness in his throat. He cleared his throat once more before sighing and stepped forward. "Gri-an, please. I'm-"

"You're not Mumo..."

Mumbo stopped. "Wh-What?"

"He's using you to trick me... trying to make me feel safe when I'm not." Grian said, trying hard to speak despite the muzzle. It didn't help that he refused to unbury his face.

"Grian... It is me! Look at me!"

"You're lying!" He hissed through his sobs.

Mumbo stepped back a bit before looking down, upset that Grian didn't believe him and that he hurt him before looking back up, turning away. "This is boring. Bye." and stalked off a couple of feet causing Grian to gasp dramatically. "Wh-what?! B-But, Mumbo! I thought you cared about me!" Grian cried, over dramatically.

Mumbo kept going. "Nope. Boring, bye. Hey Iskall, wanna come take a break with me?"

"Mumboooo!" Grian called, before sprawling across the floor with a gasp. "I thought what we had was special!"

Mumbo rolled his eyes. "Drama queen!" He called back.

Grian put a paw to his chest with another shocked gasp. "I am OFFENDED."

"There's not much of you to offend!" Mumbo called, stalking out of the room, the others laughter filling the room.

Grian leapt to his feet, throwing the muzzle off and running across the floor, tackling Mumbo out of view and into the other room with a rather loud, "YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW YOU SPOON!"

I laugh. "That's a cut!" I get out. "We clearly need a break..."
