Winged Beasts

V

As days passed in Hermitcraft, Xisuma was clear for release and he left the other three to heal.

"I really wanna go out flying." Grian said just creating casual conversation with BDubs and Scar.

"I miss the sun man." Scar said. His major injuries were healed but the healers wanted to keep him and watch over him for the next few days. The same with BDubs, though it was only his vision giving him problems every now and then. 

The three told some jokes and shared some laughs as Doc and Keralis came in.

"Where's Joe?" Scar asked coming down from his giggles.
"Vacation." Doc said walking over to Grian, "We all need one at this rate."

Grian laid back in the bed as he already knew what Doc was going to ask. Doc had taken some medical scissors to cut the bandages off of Grians' torso. 

"Lean forward." 

Grian complied, not hesitating as he knew that Doc was only helping him. Doc looked at Grian's side and it had three stitched over wounds that looked like claw marks. 

"Fair warning Grian this is gonna hurt. Probably not a lot, but just a bit." Doc said taking out some of the stitches.

After he was finished, Keralis said that Scar and BDubs were good to leave. They put some shirts on and went outside and flew away.

"Okay.. So how's Grian?" Keralis asked Doc.
"He can leave within an hour or so."
"Really?!" Grian said with a smile, "Ow.." 
"Don't jerk next time when I'm pulling out a stitch dude." Doc sneared.
"Sorry I just got excited. I'm honestly ready to leave." Grian replied.
"Yeah we know. You've been here for a week dealing with our treatments." Doc said, "You know you talk in your sleep right?"
"What?" Grian asked sitting up with Keralis and Doc's help.

"Yeah, you were mumbling things like names and sometimes phrases. It was only a little weird, but also really funny."

"Well I'm glad you find my struggles amusing." Grian laughed. Doc got up and walked towards the door. Opened it and walked right into Mumbo.

"Mumbo.. What's up man?" Doc asked.
"I brought Grian some clean clothes and stuff. Is he ready to leave yet?"
"Go ahead and walk on in. He's dying to see you." Doc chuckled.

As Mumbo walked in Grian was sitting on the edge of the bed with his legs hanging over the side.

"Hey Mumbo." Grian said, "What brings you here?" 

Mumbo walked over and put the clean clothes on his bed. "Well, I brought you these first off. Secondly, I wanted to see after you're done with this, if you wanted to hang out."

"Gladly." Grian replied.

"Grian you're good to go. Take it easy though okay?"

"Yeah alright. I'm gonna change and then we can go." 

Roughly five minutes later Grian walked in and was adjusting his sweater, "Alright, Let's go. Can we stop by Wels' though? I need to ask him a question." 

"Sure." Mumbo replied. 

The two hermits flew away all the way to where Wels stood.

"Grian, welcome back." Wels greeted.
"Hey I was wondering if you knew what happened to Jonya. I noticed you were the last person out of the portal before I lost consciousness again."
Wels sighed, "She said that she would volunteer in your place. She didn't want me to tell you."
"Oh... I.. Thanks, for telling me Wels." Grian said as Mumbo wrapped him in a hug. 

After a few minutes of just small chatting Mumbo and Grian flew back to the shopping district.

"This place is an absolute mess." Grian said softly as he flew over to the Town hall. "They even destroyed part of my barge! You kidding?!"

<GTWScar> Hello jungle bandit
<Grian> Hello wizardchap
<Zombiecleo> Cod boy
<Xisuma> Good to have you back Gee-arr-ian

Scar BDubs were building on the town hall, rebuilding what was damaged.

"Hey guys!" Grian greeted. BDubs and Scar turned round and the scars on their necks have healed, just shown a thin line down the side of it.

"Well someone's a happy camper." Scar said.
"I mean I'm finally out and enjoying the sun. Of coarse I'm happy." Grian replied, exaggerating his sentence by falling into Mumbos' arms. 
"So what's the next adventure going to tell us?" BDubs asked.
"Who knows. At this rate it's whatever happens happens." Mumbo said lifting Grian off his chest. 

Grian chuckled a little, "Whatever does happen, we'll face it together. And hopefully not die in the process this time."

"Oh.. Come 'ere you." Scar said tackling Grian to the ground ruffling his hair. Grian just couldn't stop laughing at the way the guys were smothering him. 

"You are such a gremlin." 
"I know." Grian laughed. "Hey.. Where's False?"
"Off-world on vacation." Scar said. 
"Wait so what were we building that hall for? I forgot." Grian asked.
"... I forgot." Scar mumbled.
"Oh.. Wait, that thing, right um, it was for your anniversary of joining hermitcraft!" BDubs said.
"WAIT. YOU GUYS WERE HAVING ME BUILD THE VERY HALL THAT WE WERE GONNA HAVE A PARTY IN?!" 
"Yup. And future parties." 
"You're kidding. You guys are the worst."
"Yeah we know."

After three weeks of doing fun things and rebuilding, Grian was flying around, close to the water, and dragged his hand though it. Water droplets falling on his sweater and face as he did so. 

<Xisuma> Grian
<Grian> sup
<Xisuma> Meet me at my base?
<Grian> okee brt

Grian flew to Xisuma's base with really quick speed and precision.

"Xisuma?! You wanted to see me?"

"Hello Grian."
