Gren's face looked shocked. His body was still, but one could tell that he was shaking (Methaphorically). This would be the second person who had to use their Semblance for him, but at the price of themselves. He knew that it wasn't sever, but he didn't like it. Not at all. He was strong. Or at least tougher than Pluto and Kuhaku. Why did they insist in harming themselves for him? Gren was silent and he looked down, hiding his hands in shame. He didn't know what to say. He just felt bad.

After the pain had subsided and he wiped the small trickle of tears that had crept from his eyes, Pluto looked up at Gren, whose countenance was obviously upset and ashamed almost. [b]"Gren...Gren...what's wrong?"[/b], Pluto spoke to him in a delicate and soft tone. Pluto was concerned. Genuinely. He really disliked seeing Gren like this. Eventhough they had just met, he felt a weird connection to him. He couldn't really explain it but, it made him upset to see Gren looking so distraught. 

Gren sighed. [b]"It's... You are so soft."[/b] Gren put his face into his hands, partly out of shame, partly out of embarassment. [b]"You and everyone else. So soft, and so easy to hurt. While I am... And Orc, who are suppose to be strong and tough. And yet it seems that no matter how tough I am, those who I care for, the softer people, they always hurt themselves for me. I... My partner, his name is Kuhaku. He is a Faunas as well. His powers are great, but using them makes him forget himself. It has made him forget our time together. And that... That scares me. That everytime he uses his Semblance, he may forget who I am, or who he is, and in the end using his powers will only harm him in the long run... And as his partner, I cannot accept that. Or... For people like you, who can use their powers to heal me, but must take my pain as the price. I cannot accept that... I feel that I must... Do something... I don't know what though."[/b] Gren let out a heavy breath as he kept eating the noodles.

[b]"I'm sorry. I got a bit depressing there. But I became a hunter to make sure that people don't need to hurt themselves to help me. I want others to rely on me so that they never have to feel pain again."[/b]

[b]"Oh dear..."[/b], Pluto mumbled in a soft and touching voice, looking at Gren's disheartened face with concern. He scooted a bit closer to Gren and smiled warmly, placing his soft hand on Gren's back, and carressing it gently in a circle motion. "Look...no matter how strong we all may think we are...or how invicible we may be...at some point...we always need help. Always". He paused for a moment and tilted his head, trying to get a deep look into Gren's eyes before he continued. "We know the consequences and we choose to suffer through them in order to help others. And of course....that includes you". Pluto made a silly face in his attempts to cheer Gren up."That's what teams...or rather....friends are for right?", he asked Gren in a reassuring tone. 

Gren didn't look at Pluto directly, but he mulled on the words he spoke. It wasn't as though he was wrong, yet at the same time Gren didn't want to admit he was right. He didn't like the idea that people like Kuhaku and Pluto, or even for Abel and Bridget, to do anything to harm themselves just to save him. That was something he wanted to do. He was going to keep brooding until he caught sight of Pluto's face, which looked funny. Gren was shocked at first, but than cracked a grin.

[b]"Yeah... Guess you're right. So, still hungry?"[/b]

Pluto's pretty face would lighten up with glee at the sight of Gren's meager smile. It wasn't much, but it was enough to satisfy him. [b]"Hmm...I don't think I'm hungry anymore. Why do you ask?"[/b], he inquired, awkwardly scooting his chair back to its original position. [b]"Sorry. Didn't realize I was still in your personal space"[/b], he said with a chuckle. 

Gren shook his head. [b]"Nah, it's okay. Anyways, I was thinking of heading back to my dorm for a bit. See how it looks, maybe do a bit of decorating. I think the rest of my team might be there too, we could hang out together. Sound cool?"[/b] Gren looked at Pluto, his head tilted to the side a bit.

A smile came upon Pluto's face at Gren suggestion. This was the first friend he had made since he came to this school and he couldn't help but find it completely thrilling when he was invited to come back to Gren's room. Although, a quick thought rattled through his mind and he briefly frowned. [i]I hope his teammates won't mind[/i], he thought to himself, quickly shaking his of his rambling thoughts and focusin back to Gren. [b]"Decorating huh?"[/b], he mumbled playfully under his breath. [b]"Sure, lead the way"[/b], he casually said, readying himself to follow behind Gren once they set forth. 

Nodding, Gren cleaned up the table and put their dishes away. [b]"They're pretty cool people. You already know my partner's name, Kuhaku. Our team leader's name is Bridget, and her partner is Abel. Decent folk, they don't seem to be the type to dislike faunas given that me and Kuhaku are faunas."[/b]

Eventually Gren and Pluto reached their dorms. He already knew where it was prior to visiting the others at the infirmary, though this would be his first time entering it. He felt a bit nervous for various reasons: For one, he did leave his team out of the blue. Secondly, he had brought a guest with him. He hoped that they wouldn't mind. Putting away his hesitation Gren opened the door to his dorm. 

[b]"Hello everyone. I'm back."[/b]
