SPOILERS: CHAPTER 3 BTS: String

While Grian and Mumbo were waiting for X to show up at his base for the scene, Mumbo went back up to get something.

Grian waited before spotting something.

Mumbo came back about three minutes later. "Alright Grian, I got everything set up for when X gets here and- Is that string?"

Grian froze, sprawled out on his back with string in between his paws now dangling there, still swaying from the motion it had been through.

Grian immediately rolled over and flicked his paws until the string came off and landed a little ways away. "No." He said, quickly, his voice giving away his attempt at lying.

"Were you playing with that string?" Mumbo smirked.

"What? PSHH! No!..." Grian tried to wave it off.

"Are you sure cause it sure looked like-"

"You didn't see anything! You didn't see the spider that came by leaving it's stupid string everywhere! Darn spiders... leaving messes of string..."

Mumbo raised an eyebrow approaching the small kitten. "Grian, spiders only drop string when they die,"

Grian turned to him, eyes wide. 

"and you are definitely not big enough to kill a spider."

Grian opened his mouth to say something before realizing what Mumbo said and sputtered. "Wh-what?! I am too!" He argued.

Mumbo smirked. "Grian, a spider could literally eat you in one bite. You are nowhere near big enough to take one down."

Grian's fur bristled. "HOW DARE YOU-"

"Uh, is this a bad time?" X's voice called from the shore. "I've been calling for you guys from the meeting spot for five minutes now."

Mumbo chuckled. "Sorry X. I just saw Grian playing with some string and he tried to blame it on a spider leaving it there."

"But spiders don't drop string unless they're killed?"

"See Grian? X knows what I'm talking about." Mumbo teased. "And don't you agree that he's too small to take one on alone?"

"Oh yeah. One bite and he'd be done for." X agreed without hesitation.

Grian huffed. "FINE. BE THAT WAY! I'LL SHOW YOU!" He turned and ran to go look for a spider.

Mumbo paled. "No! Grian! Wait!"

I sigh from my boat where I watched nearby. "Why can't we have a normal session?"
