Soon Xel had gotten everyone healed up and built some of the others a shelter since they couldn't fit in the house.

At this point everyone was just waiting for the antidotes to finish brewing and for Grian to wake up.

It wasn't until a couple hours later that he did.

Grian gasped and jerked up with a start, fur bristled and starting to hyperventilate.

Mumbo leapt up in the air, startled by Grian before trying to calm him. "Grian! It's alright! We're safe!" He tried to step towards Grian only for Grian to bristle his fur more, frightened, his eyes narrowed into slits.

The others who were in the house hurried over.

"Grian? Bud, it's alright! We're safe! You're safe!" Tango tried to reassure.

Mumbo looked concerned seeing the slitted eyes and stepped forward. "Gri?"

Grian extended his claws and made a hissing noise without opening his mouth at Mumbo warning him to stay back.

Mumbo stepped back. "Joe, go get Poultry man. Please."

Joe nodded and flew down the hall.

Grian was backing away and winced when he stepped on his leg.

"Grian, be careful, please!" Mumbo tried only for Grian to back up more, still clearly panicking.

Stress glanced at Iskall, concerned. "Is he alright?"

"I don't think so, Stress..."

Moments later, Xel came into the room and studied the situation. "Everyone, back up." He instructed.

Tango and Iskall backed off.

Mumbo hesitated.

"Mumbo, please. He's scared. Let me try to calm him."

Mumbo slowly nodded and backed up.

Xel knelt in front of the bed. "Hey there kid. It's alright. You're safe."

Grian made the hissing noise again making Xel frown.

"You can open your mouth now. The muzzle is off." He explained.

Grian just watched him.

Xel carefully moved his hand towards him only to be greeted by claws sinking into it.

He ignored it and kept his hand there.

Grian slowly moved away before Xel carefully picked him up, ignoring the hissing and scratching.

"Gri, it's alright. Breathe. Please." Xel coaxed him, sitting down on the bed with him.

He just held him close gently shushing him and whispering sweet nothings of reassurance until Grian started to relax in his hold.

"See? It's alright. Breathe Grian. Just in... and out." Xel took deep breaths and Grian slowly mimicked him before blinking, tiredly up at him. "Xe?" He muttered.

Xel smiled. "Shh... You alright. I'm here. And so are the others."

Grian weakly turned to see them.

"And that muzzle is off of you too."

Grian turned back to him before carefully opening his mouth, resulting in a yawn.

Xel chuckled as Grian looked at him. "Is... Is everyone here? Did we do it? Did we escape?" He asked.

Xel nodded. "Yes. We were waiting on you to wake up now that you're mostly all healed up and waiting on the antidotes to finish. How are you feeling?"

"My jaw kind of hurts and so does my leg but it's better... I'm mostly exhausted..."

Xel nodded. "Most of you are."

Grian looked around. "Where's Sally?"

Xel smiled. "Resting. She was up waiting for us for a day or two."

Grian nodded.

Mumbo leapt up onto the bed. "Gri?"

Grian turned to him, briefly tensing before relaxing. "Mumbo!" He greeted tiredly, reaching his paws out towards him.

Xel sat him down and let him go greet Mumbo.

Mumbo sighed. "I'm so happy you're- Grian?"

Grian had pressed up against his side and was starting to slide down onto the bed.

Mumbo slowly laid down, bringing Grian with him who had curled up against him and fell asleep.

Mumbo laughed softly at that.

Xel smirked. "You might as well get some rest. I'll finish up the potions tonight and you should all be able to change back in the morning and head home."

Mumbo nodded. "Thank you." he told him as he curled up, letting Grian sleep on him and pulled his tail over Grian like a blanket. 

Xel nodded back. "You're most welcome."

Tango, Impulse, Joe, Zed, Jevin and Wels were playing charades with one another while Iskall and Stress quietly watched nearby.

Xel went out to check on the others.

Doc, Ren, Cleo, False, Biffa, Python, Cub, Scar, Tin and X were also attempting a game of charades when Xel walked in.

"Grian woke up." He informed them.

"Really?" Cleo asked.

"That's great!" X replied.

"How is he?" Doc questioned.

"Tired and still sore but alright physically other than that. Had a bit of a panic attack when he first woke up though. I'm not sure how many of those will happen even after you're all turned back."

Doc frowned. "That's not fair..."

Cleo nodded. "He doesn't deserve that..."

Xel sighed. "I don't disagree but the best thing you can do for him is let him know you're there for him and help him through it."

Ren nodded. "I wish we could do more though..."

"Well, the potions should be done in the morning so try to get some rest. You should all be able to change back and go home in the morning.

They all nodded and wished Xel goodnight as he headed back to the house.
