Sky awoke the next day feeling in a lot less pain than the night before, warm but not overly so, and comfortable. He blinked open his eyes to see that he wasn't in the room from the night before. The room from the night before was plain and looked like a hospital. This one was elaborately decorated, pools of water on either side of the red and black covered bed. The covers were thick, which he couldn't figure out why until he sat up and a cold gust of air hit him in the chest, elicting a gasp from the butter lover. Sky promptly found himself curling into a ball underneath the covers in an effort to warm up again. As he was starting to warm up, the blankets were pulled up a bit to reveal Vortex's face and a bit of cold air.

"You look like what one of my maids says I look like in the morning." He laughed, sticking his head under the blanket and grinning at the young man. Sky pushed on his face, trying to get him out since he was getting cold again.

"Stop it! It's cold and I don't like it!" Sky whined, earning a chuckle from the other man. The blanket was dropped and it was obvious that Vortex was wriggling his way under the covers and plopped down next to Sky with a huff. Sky looked at him and noticed how he sat there a lot like a cat would, with his legs and arms below him and he rested his cheek against the pillow. Sky shifted, trying to copy him but fell over in the process. He grunted, eyes opening when he heard a chuckle.

"Well, I wanted know if you wanted to go outdoors, since you have been in here for about a day." Sky looked up at Vortex's face, which had been molded into a gentle expression. His large red eyes stared into Sky's own dark, chocolate eyes full of sincerity and hope.

"Sure." Sky said, smiling at him. Vortex sat up, throwing the sheets off them both and laughing when Sky shrieked at the cold air assulting him.


"It's so beautiful here." Sky breathed, looking at the area they were in. It was actually conveniently located to the side of Vortex's home (which Sky learned is actually in the side of a Mountain). It was surrounded by trees and full of flowers. The clearing was lit by the sun, leaves causing shade every now and then. Vortex smiled at Sky as he carried him on one shoulder and a blanket on the other, with a picnic basket in one hand.

"I'm glad you think so, I found this place a while back." He said, climbing up another grass block and stopping at a clearing. Sky watched as he set down the basket and blanket before setting him down on the ground gently.

"Do you want some help?" Sky asked, trying to help the man who'd saved him. Vortex only smiled at him and shook his head. He finished laying out the blanket and turned to the brunette. Sky was taken back by the sharp look on his face that morphed into content.

"It is alright, Sky, you need to focus on getting well." Sky nodded, watching as Vortex knelt in front of him and placed a large hand on his shoulder. Under one of the sleeves appeared to be a bit of what seemed like scales, but he pulled his hand back after a few seconds so he wasn't sure.

"Now, let us eat."


((Meanwhile...))

"This is really where the squid said?" Dawn asked, looking down into the ravine. It was a long fall, they could all see that, but wouldn't Sky's body be there? Oreo nodded, dropping sand blocks down to form a large pair of stairs.

"It's a few feet away from where the squid and it's brethren were, but they saw him fall." Oreo smiled at her as he stepped onto the blocks. They began the trek down, noticing how there were a few Endermen up ahead. Deadlox and Sparklez pulled out their swords in case the endermen got hostile. They walked forward, getting closer to the mobs that were just chittering in their strange language. Oreo walked in front of them all, placing a pumpkin on his head and pushed through the endermen with simple "Excuse me"s and "coming through"s. The adults hung around behind the group, watching as he stooped and picked something up. He walked back through the swarm and back to his parents.

"Can we track him with this?" He said, showing them the scrap of fabric in his small hand. Ant took it and squinted at it.

"This is from his shirt. Where-"

"The horde. They let me pick it up even though they're really cautious." Oreo said, pointing back towards the swarm of endermen that were still chittering. He took of the pumpkin and set it under one arm and smiled at the four adults that were watching him somewhat warily. So far, he'd shown absolutely no fear of the Endermen that seemed to have been plaguing everywhere lately. Deadlox concluded that Oreo was either really brave, or he was just really stupid.

"So we need to get one of the wolves for this." Ant sighed, not really wanting to redo the trek back to their house after traveling as fast paced as they've been. Dawn noticed this and sighed.

"We can't just suddenly rush into this, Ore. We all need rest, and we can get it at my house." Everyone except Oreo muttered in agreement, but he just reluctantly trudged with them back to Dawnables house.

"But can't we just-" "No." "But-" "Oreo, no." Once everyone was out of earshot he muttered under his breath.

"Fine I'll just do it later..."
