Ruffled Feathers Part 2

Author's Note: The part 2. Sleepy hermits are sleepy. Mumbo also continues to question himself on multiple levels. 

 I'm thinking about whether or not to make Grian hostile to Mumbo, or make him like a happy animal that is at first terrified but quickly realizes its Mumbo and wants food and love from him.

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

 Mumbo's POV:

 Why was I even awake at 10:30 at night!?

 Was it because I still had the urge to curled up on a heated block? Was it because my lower spine still ached and I couldn't get comfortable? 

 The second question was probably the answer, but I honestly still felt like there was still another reason why. 

 I walked around the top part of my base, " Come on Mumbo.... Get yourself tired." I sighed as I crossed my arms behind my back. I had my pajamas on, so I should be ready for bed.

 The cool night air was nice as the calm sounds of the waves below my base crashed against the beach. I finally let out a yawn as I started to recollect on getting turned into a partly cat-minded person. 

 My mind will still fuzzy every single time I tried to figure out what I was doing during that time my cat self kicked in. 

 Grian and the others told me I just mainly just nuzzling up to Grian and purring at him, which was incredibly awkward. 

 Did I enjoy it? 

 I guess my cat self liked the affection. I... I don't really know what that part of me was thinking, but, but I guess I should ask Grian about these weird feelings in the morning.

 I stopped pacing and looked up towards the sky.

 " MUMBO!" Scar's scream filled the air as I whipped around. 

 I gasped and leapt into the sky with my elytra activated, " Scar! Drop your elytra!" I ordered as Scar nodded. He dropped elytra and started to fall from the sky. I grabbed Scar as he let out a pained yelp. 

 " Scar, what happened?" I questioned as I landed back at my base.  Scar had started coughing, Grian... bad.... bird thing... back.... hurt...." he gagged as he started to black out. 

 Scar blacked out with a deep wheeze. I shook my head. What was he talking about?

 I turned Scar around and looked at the deep holes that were torn into his back, " We need Cub..." I whispered as I took out my communicator.

 I touched his picture in my contacts as it started to beep. The beeping quickly stopped as a nervous Cub picked up, " Is Scar alright? He went to Grian's base, and I told him to call if something bad happened." he spoke quickly as I looked down at Scar.

 " He's hurt. Come over to my base quickly... I... I'm going to start bandaging him up, but I think you should bring some stuff as well." I told him as Cub let out a small growl. He told me he was already prepacked and was on the way now. He quickly hung up after that.

 Why was Scar doing at Grian's base? 

 What exactly hurt him? 

 Was Grian okay?

 I shook my head as I took Scar's elytra off and shoved it into my inventory. I needed to check on Grian, but Scar is here and unconscious. I sighed and picked him up as his body twitched when I touched the wounds on his back.

 I carried Scar down into the more homey area of my base and laid him down on the guest bed in the corner. Scar was breathing slowly as I walked over to a chest and brought out some supplies. 

 " I'm here." I heard Cub's voice as I jumped.

 Cub was in the doorframe wearing his pajamas with his lab coat loosely worn over it. He was incredibly tired, but his eyes had a fire to them. 

 " You got here fast." I muttered as Cub nodded, " I honestly don't trust Grian sometimes....." he whispered as he pulled up his inventory to pull out a white shulker box. 

 " Why let Scar go to Grian's base then, and why did Scar go there in the first place?" I questioned as Cub shrugged his shoulders.

 Cub took off Scar's shirt causing the weaker hermit to whine, " Grian is persistent, and you know that. Why Grain needed Scar? That is a question I don't know the answer to." 

 I kept handing Cub medical equipment as Cub worked on checking the long scratches that dug deeply into Scar's back. The two of us worked for an hour until Scar was all bandaged up. 

 Cub looked towards me, " Can we stay here for the night?" he questioned as I nodded, " Of course. You and I need to head to Grian's base in the morning though." I told him as he nodded. Cub put the blanket over Scar's weakened self as he rolled out a sleeping bag and laid down in it. 

 I let out a sigh and laid down in my own bed. The warm blankets finally felt inviting as I fell asleep. 

 ((Time skip. The author got their sign back from Joe. The sign is a bit chewed up though.))

 I sat up and got out of bed. My entire body finally felt awake after everything that has happened. I stretched as I rubbed at my still sore ears. 

 I looked towards the guests of my house to find them both sleeping soundly. Cub was holding onto Scar's hand as they both slept. Scar had a weak smile on his face.

 I sighed. I should let them sleep. They needed rest more then I do. They still weren't even healed from being swapped back yet. 

 I quickly got dressed in a black shirt and jeans in the bathroom and turned on the heat as I felt a cold chill coming in from the outside. 

 I looked over at Scar and Cub; the two were still sleeping soundly despite my moving around. I took out some blankets and gently put it over the two. I smiled as I left my base and took off into the sky. 

 " Alright Grian...." I sighed as I flew through the morning sky.

 " What have you done this time?"
