Gren could see from a distance the commotion going on, the lone humanoid figure that arrived and everyone rushing to his aid. Sapphire and Oswald nearly bowled over everyone to get to him, though surprisingly to Gren Cobalt managed to get to the boy first. Though he was too far away to make out any details, Gren had a sneaking suspicion that Sapphire was giving his opponent a hard time. Gren would have to find him later and apologize on Sapphire's behalf. Gren shortly debated going to help himself, but refrained from it seeing that he couldn't catch up to them in time. He might just get in the way and there were already plenty of others on site to help. Gren was about to leave when Shirp arrived, shortly after the his message did. Gren was going to message Abel himself in the event that Shiro couldn't find him, but seeing that the disaster was averted there was no real need for Abel to arrive.

[color=00a651]"Business as usual. Sapphire going off doing her own thing without telling any of us, then taking command. A problem of hers; she demands respect and authority when she's done nothing to earn it. I've been meaning to talk to her about it, but she seems to find any chance she can to get away from her own teammates."[/color] If Gren had a cape this would be when the wind would blow and cause it to billow through the air heroically. Now that he thought of it, having an armored cloak with his symbol emblazoned on it... Maybe with a hood too, so he could do the mysterious stranger look... Gren put that on his to-do list. It was low priority however as he had other things to worry about, namely the fact that he and Shiro were here alone.

[color=00a651]"Ever since we returned from our mission I've wondered what we could have done better. I will admit the way we handled things were... Less then optimal. I was trigger happy; I thought I was facing against unspeakable horrors. But what I've found instead were victims of circumstances, circumstances which has condemned them, and made us enemies. And this is because of our lack of communication. Shiro, our team doesn't really talk to each other. You and I are partners, but I hardly know you, and you hardly know me. Sapphire seems intent on maintaining a sense of unfamiliarity and Abel keeps to himself too much. We have to fix this. But before we go helping others, we'd have to help ourselves."[/color]

Gren turned towards Shiro (Hopefully with the sun against his back for dramatic effect) before looking at his white-tiger faunas friend. [color=00a651]"Do you have time to talk? There is a matter I wish to discuss with you at length."[/color]
