Gren looked at Shiro. [color=00a651]"Who you are matters to me. The past... It's not something that should be forgotten. Maybe you don't think your life is special, but I think it does. Everything that brought you here, from the littlest moments to the biggest events, they are things I want to know. There is so much about one another we don't know. Trust isn't something that can merely be given. It has to be earned."[/color] Gren looked down at his own feet when he said that. Now that he thought of it, he was being rather demanding. He wants Shiro to spill the beans about himself but Gren hasn't said a peep about his own past. He could understand Shiro's hesitation in continuing the conversation, if not simply because of how uncomfortable it was, but because of how invasive Gren was being. If he wanted Shiro to open up, Gren needed to open up too. Let down his armor.

[color=00a651]"Shiro... Abel... Look at me. This is who I am."[/color]

Gren spread his arms out as soon, the sound of small machinery could be heard from Gren's body. They were quiet, like clockwork, but soon his armor began to fall off. Beneath the armor was his flesh, green and somewhat hairy. But even that fell to reveal what was really inside Gren. After his body armor fell to the floor Gren's own torso detached, revealing the mess of electronics and machinery underneath his "Flesh". And not an organic part in sight; no heart, no lungs, no stomach, but synthetic muscles and organs meant to emulate their certain functions. Gren's owns also were shed to reveal the cybernetic muscle underneath, exposing his wiring and causing the internal mubercate in his arms to spill. The only parts that didn't fall off were everything below his waist and his head.

[color=00a651]"I cannot hide this secret from you much longer. I'm sure you both had your suspicions already, and this confirms them. I am not merely a faunas. I am a machine... A cyborg if you will. Though there's very little left of what I was before this conversion. Only my brain remains, and even most of that has been adapted to a processor that allows me to keep track of my body's function and much more. I'm showing this to you now, Shiro and Abel, because it is important to me, and important for you to know. I want to show you that I trust you with my secret. And... If you're willing, maybe help me deal with some demons from the past."[/color]

Gren picked up his armor and torso, laying them in a neat pile. He walked around the two to show them his body from all angles. There were no lights, no sparks, not many moving parts. His body leaked some sort of oil meant to keep his body insulated and functioning normally. If he was flesh and bone, he would be bleeding profusely. There was a wire-mesh covering most of his torso and arms too, presumably there to help keep his innards in place.

And just to show up inhuman he really was, Gren then proceeded to detach his left arm, swinging it around like a club. He then reattached his arm and moved it as normal. [color=00a651]"Like your semblance, I won't hesitate to use this body to protect my team. But there are flaws with it, and not all of it simply with it's function. The price I paid to get this... It's a heavy debt. I have no right to force either of you two to burden it, I know. But at least allow me to help ease yours. I didn't get this body just for myself. I got this body to... To save lives. To help others. Help you. Won't you let me help you, Shiro?"[/color]
