Tommy entered the room and was greeted by Wilbur, who was in the middle of putting on his coat. Phil and Techno were also up.

Wilbur froze upon seeing Tommy.

"Uh, what the hell are you doing?" Tommy was even more confused when they visibly let out a sigh of relief.

"Tommy! Where did you go?" Wilbur approached the boy, pulling him inside the room.

"Calm down dumbass, we just went out for a breather" Tommy sighed out pulling away from Wilbur and plopping into his own bed.

"What do you mean 'we' mate?" Phil asked

"Grian found me wandering around so he took me to his parrots n' shit" He sighed out.

The three looked at each other.

Tommy felt a weight next to him.

"Move over child" Wilbur pushed him so that he had enough room.

"Hey! What are you- go back to your own bed asshat!" Tommy tried to kick him out but Wilbur only wrapped his arms around the teen making him immobile.

"Nope, can't trust you to not suddenly get up and wander off" Tommy huffed as he tried to push Wilbur away.

"Let go of me you clingy fuck!"

"Quiet child, I'm trying to sleep" Tommy tried to pull away but to no avail.

He sighed in defeat before eventually deciding that he wont be able to get out anyways so might as well. Yep! Definitely not because he liked Wilbur's hugs, nope, what are you talking about.

Phil let out a fond sigh before heading back to bed himself.

---

Grian sighed as he sat down on one of the chairs, he thought back to his encounter with Tommy.

His eyes subconsciously drifting to the book.

Grian let out an exasperated sigh, glaring at the book.

He opens the book and grabs his notes as he continues to translate.

"The watchers, upon having a peek on this world, decided to help. But of course there's only so much they could do.

Even with the help of Lady Death, they could only manage to transport them."

Grian paused. Did that just say Lady Death!?

His eyes widened as he double, triple, QUADROUPLE checked it.

That did say Lady Death. Grian thought back to the crow that approached Phil. What the heck is going on?

"Yes, you have read that correct, Lady Death had graced us with her presence a couple months back"

How long had they been planning this??? Without Grian's knowledge?

"She had humbly asked for our assistance, to help a server which was falling apart at the seams after being hidden from us"

Still as egotistical, Grian thought.

"This group, or well Family, is a very important asset to keep the universe at balance."

Grian wonders what's so special about them. He doesn't have to wonder for long

"For they are the first mortals who survived Death's touch"

Death's Touch as the name suggests, is a trait she has that those she touches will wilt and die.

Being able to survive Death's Touch is a feat not even The Herobrine  can obtain.

Its absurd, Grian thinks. The only possible way to be able to survive Death's touch would be if the rumors were...

Grian froze, the grip on the pen tightening.

'But that can't be! They're just rumors! Right? Death's blood running in you, Death marking you? Those are unlikely but still a possibility...'

He refuses to jump to conclusions. He's just going to have to wait and see.

"But this situation might be more grave than we think. We have reasons to believe the Xabierithyck Daeccadel is involved in this"

Grian froze, his eyes widening. He grit his teeth.

(He thinks back to the dirty checkered headphones in the dusty box underneath his bed)

He took a deep breath as he tried to calm himself, he needed to get his emotions in line before he has a full blown breakdown.

He can feel some, although tiny, sparks of his magic leak out

Then he heard a small buzz from his communicator.

It was Xisuma.

"Hello?" Grian called out

"Grian! Hope I didn't wake you"

He can feel the sparks crawl back under his skin as he calms down.

"Nope you're good. Anyways did you need anything?"

"Ok so, I think I'm gonna have to ask you to watch over those guys a little bit more."

"Pff, even if you hadn't asked, based on what I've translated i think they're gonna have to stick with me for much much longer"

"Did you find something"

"Yep, I'll talk about it in the server meeting though. Speaking of, have you got a date set?"

"Yep! I'll post it in the chat."

"Alright then, I'll talk to you soon yeah?"

"Right, also go to sleep you gremlin."

And with that they ended the call. Although shortly after, he heard a ping from his communicator.

<XisumaVoid> hey everyone! Server meeting later on at 9am

Grian smiled at his communicator. Before continuing to translate the book.

Needless to say when Grian finished, he was a bit shocked. Summarizing it all the Watchers AND Lady Death are asking him to help the family and another thing.

Grian frowned.

"As you may have known, The War that had happened years ago had caused destruction and chaos everywhere. And it would be beneficial not only to us Watchers and Listeners but you aswell, that is if you truly treasure this new life that you found and had been residing in Xelqua.

The decision is yours but we hope to hear from you soon."

Grian sighed, he thought back to The War. There had been so much...

Ultimately Grian decided that sleep would be nice but there was a knock on the door.

=====

Techno stared at the sleeping figures, he had fallen back into his habit of not sleeping a while back.

It warmed his heart to see his family, together and at peace.

Although Techno blames it on his instincts

(He knows that's a lie)

Technowake??
Technosoft
Haha technosoft
Techno say thanks to grian dumb
Gongduo pog
Haha ur soft
E
Its 2am go to sleep
Hey maybe say thanks to grian
I mean he did find tommy so..

Awe look at him i think he's cooing
Watch as he blames it on his piglin instincts
Tsk tsk
Guys its okay hes just in denial
Psst go say thank you to the other birb man
Manners mr.blade manners

Techno sighed "I am not soft chat." The chat immediately disagrees.

Perhaps he should thank Grian for watching over him and H̶i̶s̶ ̶p̶a̶c̶k̶ the others plus he found H̶i̶s̶ ̶ Tommy before he had gotten H̶u̶r̶t̶ lost.

(He blames his instincts, Chat burst out in a series of "Called it"s and "Boooo"s)

Techno stood up, grabbing his cape before going over to Grian's room.

He contemplated whether or not he should knock seeing as it is 2 in the morning. But before he could come to a decision he had already (subconsciously) knocked.

He stood there for a bit before he heard a shuffle and footsteps "Coming!" A muffled voice called out.

The door opened to see Grian in an oversized red sweater and a black and white flannel pajama pants. His hair was also down, reaching his shoulders.

It felt weird seeing Grian's hair down despite their short time together.

"Oh! Techno, did you need anything" Techno had forgotten that he wasn't good at socializing.

"Uh, I wanted to say thanks" He rubbed his neck looking off to the side.

"Thanks? What for?" Grian tilted his head in question.

"For uh, helpin' us out and uh I guess  watching over Tommy?? when he walked out and- uh yeah" Oh god why is this so embarassing.

"Pff- i have a feeling you're not too good at this" Grian giggled out causing Techno's face to redden in embarassment.

"How about a cup of tea yeah?" Grian offered, and well, what's the worse that could happen?

"Uh sure, why not" Techno shrugged.

And then the two silently, but comfortably, headed down to the kitchen. Grian (after offering a seat to Technoblade) started to boil some water for tea.

"What type do you want?" Grian asked reaching into his cupboard "Do you have matcha tea?" Techno asked, Grian responding with a small 'yep'. After confirming that Techno had wanted matcha tea, Grian poured the hot water into the cups and let the tea bags soak.

Carefully, he grabbed both cups and place the matcha tea in front of Techno before taking a seat on the counter. Techno raised his eyebrow at this while Grian just shrugged.

The two peacefully enjoyed their 2AM tea in silence, that was until Grian broke the silence.

"So the Server meeting will take place later on today" Grian started, looking down at his tea and slightly swirling his tea around.

"Server meeting?" Techno asked, a light confusion dusting his usual monotone voice.

"Yep, we have those once a month. We usually just talk about the server or if anyone wants to make an announcement" Grian explained "We're most likely going to talk about your..... situation tomorrow"

"Hm? What about our situation?" Grian looked up at Techno "Well, hmm, I mean we're still going to decide that if you guys were to stay here, would everybody be okay with it. And stuff" Grian added the last part with a undertone Techno couldn't quite place his finger on.

Techno let out a hum and the two fell into silence again.

"So, how's the book translating been coming along?" Techno noticed Grian seemingly pausing before letting out a sigh.

"Well on the bright side, I finished" Techno turned to look at him "But, on the flip side the contents of the letter was a bit uh interesting" Techno looked at him in confusion 

"What do you mean letter?" Grian paused to drink his remaining  tea "I'll explain everything tomorrow, for now we should get some shut eye. We do need to be there at 9AM after all"

Grian hopped off the counter taking the two empty cups and dumping it on the sink.

Techno followed Grian back to the living quarters.

"Oh and um Thanks again" Grian gave him a thumbs up "Of course. Goodnight Technoblade"

"Goodnight Grian"

And with that, the two headed their separate ways, into their own respective rooms.
