[[thnx Hiraru]]
Barick stayed with Aislin, his arms still wrapped around her.
Aegina let her guards down and sat down on the floor heavily. She then sighed and watched everything that was going on.

Aislin reached up to rub her thumb on Barick's arm. She welcomed his touch. After her brief panic attack and Gab's transmitted fear of Kir, sne needed the calm Barick's presence gave.
Gab had actually wrapped his tail around Barick's arm, after the terrifying feel of Kir's Magic, he welcomed any and all comfort.

Kir looked back and noticed he was being watched and even questioned. He gently pulled back and brought out his notebook, "I was born with a very high magic output. Between that and Kieran and me being a-" He hesitated. He was just about to write down 'monster' but stopped himself, "-A machine, and I am a weapon..." He stood and gave the book to Aislin.

Barick rubbed gab's head with one hand while he was still holding Aislin in his arms.
Aegina hugged Core since he was the closest thing nearby.

Core did not expect Aegina of all people to be hugging him, especially after that bombshell he dropped before, "...A-Aegina?" He questioned in surprise.

Aislin took the book, "You're a machine? Core explained about the Kieran... But I thought you were at least partially... Angel."
Gab leaned into the rubbing, his shaking starting to become less and less noticeable.

"I'm sorry for getting mad at you earlier. I know I had no right to..." Aegina apologized.

Kir closed his eyes. He knew it would be impossible to explain on paper. Heck, some of it was even hard to explain verbally. That's why Lily had trouble. So, he did something he never done before. He opened his mind to another person. Completely. Kir gently placed his hand on Aislin's forehead and images began to show up in her mind.
The first image was of an Angel fetus inside a small chamber filled with liquid. Then, a male Angel arguing with a human scientist, "What are you doing to my son?!" He demanded desperately. The next image was when a supersonic cry came from the encased fetus and instantly killed the man and woman that were experimenting on him. After that, a complicated procedure where Kir as an infant was fitted with the crystallis; it was botched and the crystallis ended up in his left eye. The crystallis is the soul of Kieran, a powerful Dragonkin who had lost his loved one and went insane. Both of their minds were conditioned for them to become effective killing machines. Kir's soul was broken in half during this process to create a blood crystallis; a red jewel that controlled Kir's actions when the person possessing it gave a command. With very basic metal implants put inside his body, they let Kir grow a little. But he escaped, with his older sister Amaranth. They fled to Skyrim where they were adopted and raised. They forgotten about their hardships until recently, when Amaranth was arrested and Kir was taken away. After many challenges and trials after Amaranth being retrieved again, they find out the truth about Kir. Synthic explained to him that he was developing into a living weapon. It was a hard journey after that, with each time more painful than the next; and Kir slowly became a weapon to serve his owner, Lily. His body was constantly adjusting to Lily's wants and desires, however since Lily wanted Kir to remain the same he still looks and acts like he did before. Lily only has to give him a command to activate his true power which is normally locked away, unless Kieran activates him or he activates due to a threat.
Kir lifted his hand from Aislin's forehead, unable to continue what he was doing. He opened his eyes and looked dazed, putting a hand to his forehead and looking down a bit.
"It's okay...I should apologize too...I shouldn't have lied..." Core said.
(Sorry for the long read. Those images are only showing up in Aislin's and maybe Gab's minds)

Aegina let go of Core. "It's okay. Just promise me one thing..."

Aislin looked at Kir, "You poor man..."
Gab climbed onto Barick's shoulders, "They brutalized you and your magic.

Kir hoped that she would trust him a little more now that he had opened up to her like that, however he didn't even list half of what had happened to him; especially recently where he destroyed the Angel Eclipse and such. Brutalized? That was putting it mildly. Kir could still remember the feeling he had when he was deflecting blasts from the ancient weapon. The magic that pulsed through his veins. The coldness of his thoughts as he executed command after command to try and keep the world safe from an age old menace. He didn't want Aislin to pity him, or use him as an object. That was his only concerns about her knowing the truth. He might be a cold piece of steel under his skin but he still believed he was an Angel. He was a disaster waiting to happen, but Lily helped him through. And he was glad for it. She didn't look down at him in pity, and he expected the same thing from Aislin.
"...What?" Core asked.

"What's wrong, Lin?" Barick asked.
"...don't lie to me anymore. I want to protect you, but I can't do that if you don't trust me." Aegina said.

"I'm sorry...I was afraid you would fear or hate me because of what I did..." Core said, "You did run away from me in Barona..."

"But I didn't know you that well back then, I know you better now, so you can tell me anything you want. I'll be here for you." Aegnia reassured.

"He showed me his past..." Aislin explained, not looking away from Kir. She was amazed by him "His time in the Academy makes my ten years in Emilio's dungeon look like a tick on a rat's a**. I don't think I could have handled being in such a place..."
