    Summary

    “What’s your name?”
    The kid frowns at him. Finally, slowly, he says, “Mumbo?”
    That’s- that sounds- it can’t be- “Not Jumbolio?” Grian asks, straightening.
    “No,” Mumbo says, and Grian sinks back, groaning.
    “Aw, great,” he whines. “I’m just looking for someone who knows redstone, and I think I’ve got the kid, but instead it’s just you.”
    ----
    Grian isn’t panicking.
    There’s nothing to panic about, okay? He’s fine. He’s absolutely, totally, fine.
    Sure, he- he might not know where he is, and he might not have his communicator, and he might be pretty certain that Pearl and Joel and Jimmy are going to think that he just left, that he chickened out, but-
    He’s-
    Fine.
    ----
    Scar liked his gift.
    Scar likes him.

    Other than safety. Other than that here, with them both, he feels like nothing in the world could ever get him.
