Working in the nether generally ment you didn't have overworld mobs in your base. Bdubs was a huge fan of that. I preferred the Hogglins and Piggling over the spiders and skellies. Sure he didn't mind them, but the Nethet was so much easier to deal with. Especially in Grian's upside down mansion.

A piercing screech came from the portal area as Bdubs was working in the other room. He jumped slightly at the sudden noise, then realised nothing in the nether made that type of noise. That was very much a Grian scream.

The hermit in mention came soaring through the doorway not to long after, a tear streaked face as he landed behind Bdubd.

"What! What's wrong? What happened?"

"Bdubs it's gonna get me!" He cried as he pointed through the doorway he just entered. "Kill it!"

Bdubs took out his sword, normally Grian was pretty independent so it must be truly terrifying for him to react this way. "What is it? Wha-" he watched as a baby spider crawled through the doorway. "Oh," he laughed out a sigh.

Baby spiders, though they grow up to be a hostile mob, a friendly. Quite large for what most think of as a baby, but they're harmless. This one was about the size of a large tarantula. Nothing too big compared to the usual mod.

The spider in question skittered towards the two men, Grian squeaked and flew up to the corner of the ceiling. "Grian, you're scared of this thing?" He walked over to it and picked it up. It settled down into his cupped hands as he walked out and set it outside in the nearby warped mushroom biome.

Upon walking back inside and into the current room, Grian was back on the floor. He had his wings curled around him, and was still breathing heavily.

"I-is it gone?" He shuddered, shoving himself further into the corner on the floor.

"Yes Grian, it's gone. Why were you so scared of it? It's a baby! Hardly bigger then my hand!" He held it up for reference.

"Spider. Are. Terrorists! They are so weird with their extra appendages and extra eyes."

"You have extra appendages," he pointed to the wings Gri was currently using to sheild himself with. "And birds eat spiders! So they should be afraid of you!"

"I'm part owl Bdubs, not a full on bird. And arachnophobia doesn't work like that! What u don't understand is how you aren't freaked out by them!"

Bdubs smiled, "well, I know I'm bigger then them." He walked over a d sat down next to the slightly shaking hermit. "I could easily kill them, and I know the small one won't hurt me."

"But they're still freaky!" The red clad hermit wiped the tears off his face, and hooked arms with Bdubs.

"I'll protect you! Don't worry!" Bdubs shouted in the most heroic voice he could muster. "But you know what I find freaky?" The man in questioned hummed in response. "The way you can wear a sweater in the nether! Look at you! A hoodie, black jeans, and high tops! How are you not hot?"

"I'm the hottest person you know!" Grian winked with a laugh, "but my secret is I'm always cold. I am seriously always cold and it sucks because my Overworld Mansion doesn't have heating yet! I still need to make a fireplace. The nether is the perfect place."

"Well that's interesting! Must be a British thing."

"Hey! You Americans are pretty strange yourself!" Grian rest his head on Bdubs shoulder, a lot less freaked out now. "Thank you."

"For what? Saving you from the harmless baby spider?"

"Yes! Now if you could stop making fun of me that'd be great!" He shouted in mock anger.

The two laughed and teased eachother for the next few hours. Enjoying spending time together.
