The next morning, Xel finished up the potions and started passing them out.

Iskall was the first to drink his and gagged at the taste. "Ugh! It tastes terrible!"

Stress chuckled. "It's rabbit foot, ghast tear, spider eye, and pufferfish. Plus a fermented spider eye. I'm sure it does."

Iskall gave her an unamused look. "I'm just saying that- woah..." He stumbled slightly before lowering to the ground. "Does it mean it is working if I'm getting lightheaded?" he asked.

Stress frowned a little. "I hope so..."

Iskall laid down completely. "I think I'm just going to sleep this off... That... That's a good idea..." He passed out not soon afterward though he was breathing fine and everything seemed normal.

Stress relaxed a little as Tango came up beside her. "We did pass out with the other one too so it's probably just a side effect."

She nodded. "Yeah..."

Pretty soon they realized it was indeed working and it was now a waiting game. Stress went into the other room with Sally to take hers while Tango, Impulse, Joe, Zed, Jevin and Wels took theirs in the main room as well.

Mumbo had decided to wait for Grian to be ready. 

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

About an hour and a half later, the door was kicked open and Cleo stood there. "Is everyone alright?" She asked as Mumbo and the boys were startled awake except for Grian who only acknowledged it with an ear twitch.

"Jeez, Cleo! You scared us all half to death!" Mumbo fussed as he tried to sit still so he wouldn't wake Grian.

She was about to reply but howled with laughter at the sight of the boys. They were more or less in a tangled heap from the scare, Impulse having been jumped on by Zed and Tango, Iskall pressed up against the wall, without his hoodie revealing the shirt underneath, and Joe who wasn't really phased at all and was just carefully patting the floor looking for his glasses with Wels just dazed on the floor.

Cleo came forward and passed them to Joe who thanked her.

She turned to Mumbo and Grian. "Why aren't you changed back yet?" She asked.

"I'm waiting for Grian."

"Well, he didn't seem to frightened when I kicked the door open." Cleo commented.

A soft knock on the door drew their attention as Doc and Ren stepped inside.

"Hey, we heard screaming. Is Stress alright?" Doc teased, knowing fully well it wasn't Stress who cried out.

Tango quickly coughed and moved away from Impulse who looked thoroughly unamused by being crushed.

Zed moved away as well, glancing to the side.

Doc just laughed at the scene as Stress entered the room. "What's so funny?"

"Oh, Stress! You should've seen it! Tango and Zed-!"

Tango tackled Doc to the floor. "Not another word or so help me!"

Stress stared in confusion while Iskall moved over to her. "You just had to be here." He replied.

"Okay?" Stress was still confused but went to greet Cleo who was once again howling with laughter as Joe started to narrate the wrestling match between Doc and Tango.

Ren, Impulse, Zed, Iskall, and Cleo were laughing and cheering from the sides.

Mumbo watched with a quiet laugh as Grian slightly stirred but didn't wake.

Soon everyone else came to join them.

False, Biffa, and Python all joining in the cheering of the wrestle while Cub and Scar joined Joe in narrating it.

X, Wels, and Tin watched just utterly confused by the whole thing.

It wasn't until Xel walked into the room that the wrestling stopped.

A couple of complaints of disappointment filled the room but all rather quickly turned to Xel.

He was still wearing his poultry man outfit except for the elytra and Grian's sweater. He wore a different shirt now. He walked carefully into the room and noticed Grian still sleeping. He chuckled quietly before nudging him. "Come on, kid. Time to get up. The others are waiting for you."

Grian stirred and blinked up at him. "Okay...." He mumbled before stretching.

Mumbo stood up and accepted the potion Xel offered him. Grian did as well and he led them to another room. He came back to the others who started asking him questions while they waited.

Xel answered what he was comfortable with answering and held off on what he wasn't. 

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

Another hour later, Mumbo stumbled his way out of the room he was in.

He was in his white under shirt with his tie and his pants.

Like most of the others he was barefooted.

He gave the others a small wave as they greeted him before he asked, "Is Grian not out yet?"

Xel shook his head. "I'll check on him." he told them before leaving the room.

Xel knocked and opened the door to his room where he had put Grian.

He chuckled when he found Grian, wrapped up in his blanket, looking through the chests before turning to him. "Everything alright there, kid?"

"Uh, I... ineedasweater." he mumbled.

Xel raised an eyebrow. "I don't speak mumbling."

Grian huffed. "I... I need a sweater!" He quickly but quietly replied, glancing away.

Xel blinked before laughing. "No problem, kid." He moved over to an ender chest and pulled out the sweater he uses for Poultry man that he had cleaned last night. "Here."

Grian accepted it, quietly muttering something about how warm and soft it was before slipping it on.

He turned back to Xel. "Are you alright?"

Xel looked confused. "Why are you asking?"

"That wasn't a yes, Xel."

Xel frowned. "I'll be fine."

"You're hurt." Grian argued. "Sit down and let me help."

Xel started to argue but Grian's look told him not to and he sat down.

Grian grabbed some wool, string, water, and potions of healing. He handed the potions to Xel to drink, keeping one to put on the wound.

He lifted the front of the shirt to tend to the wound but gasped in shock.

Xel glanced to the side, knowing likely what had startled him.

Grian looked up at him after a moment. "Xel, I... I don't understand?"

He sighed. "I'll explain when we're with the others. Just... Let me guide you." He helped Grian tend to his wound, cleaning it and wrapping it with a potion drenched wool before lowering the shirt back down.

Grian stood back up and helped him to his feet. "I don't understand? How-?"

"Let's get back to the others first."

Grian frowned a little but nodded as they headed back into the main room.
