Mumbo sat on the edge of his base, looking out onto the ocean.
He picked up a chunk of remaining concrete, and threw it, watching as it splashed into the blue, and disappeared. Huh, kind of like how he disappeared from his family's life.
He teared up, but hurriedly wiped them away as he heard a voice.
(AN: Never really watched TFC so forgive me if he's out of character)
"Mumbo?"
Mumbo faked a smile at the elderly hermit, who saw right through it.
(AN: TFC was around 35 when they found Mumbo, So now he equates to being 50 lol, he's the oldest hermit I know soooo it works)
To the redstoners surprise, the older hermit sat next to him. "Now, tell me what's happened?" Mumbo remained silent, until he looked into TFC's eyes. Then he couldn't hold it in anymore. He started sobbing, which surprised TFC greatly, but the elderly man wrapped an arm around the younger one.
"Now, son, tell me what happened..."
As Mumbo explained what happened, TFC nodded slowly. "I get it now... you don't want to go back, do you?" Mumbo shook his head. "Then your not going back. Simple."
As TFC sat holding Mumbo close, he noticed the youngest hermit fell asleep. Smiling gently, he stood up, carrying Mumbo. 'This isn't going to do wonders for my back...' He grimaced, but pulled through it as he placed Mumbo into his bed.
He pulled the covers over the younger hermit, and smiled again. "Goodnight, son."
TFC then walked away, leaving Mumbo to sleep.
