    Summary

    "I don't want to pry," Xisuma said when they were speaking before his official invitation to join. "And not answering won't change whether or not you get whitelisted. We admins just prefer to have a heads up if anything's likely to come trying to dig you up, so we can keep you and everyone else safe."

    Grian thought back to obsidian and endstone and blood, to tattered wings and torn robes and so so many unseeable eyes, and swallowed hard.

    "No," he said, his voice shaky. "No, I don't think anyone will come looking for me."

    "Okay," Xisuma answered, and that was that.

    Until they invited two new people to the server.

    or, the Hermitcraft Backstory Rule says that you don't ask other people about their backstory, you let them tell it if they want to and leave it be if they don't.

    Unfortunately for Grian, one of the newest Hermits was also a player on his old server - one he'd thought had been dead for years - and she's going to drag his backstory kicking and screaming into the light whether she means to or not.

    Summary

    Mumbo didn’t full and truly panic until the moment that Grian passed out.

    Concerned when he arrived to see his friend so clearly in pain? Sure. Upset to find out Grian had been hiding this from him for the entire season? Yeah. Nauseated when he saw the dark bruising and blood spread across Grian’s back? Yes. Bloody terrified when he thought Grian’s previous captors may have something to do with this? Absolutely.

    But panic didn’t set in until Grian was slumped unconscious in his arms.
    ...
    or, grian’s past with the watchers comes back to bite him in the form of his wings (and his mental state), mumbo wants to be a good friend, doc is traumatized, scar needs a break, xisuma and stress are just trying to keep them all alive, and pearl is… well, is she?
    ...
    or, alternatively, grian wing angst go brrrr
