[ Once Gregory reaches him, he kneels down so they are more eye level, and he can get a better look at the boy. He's not able to do a scan, but he can at least check to make sure that Gregory is not suffering any kind of injuries. ​]

Yes. When I awoke, I was...this way.

[ Is this what it feels like to be human?

(it's not right it's not right this isn't the way he's supposed to be)

Once he was sure that Gregory is all right, he leans back a little, getting another look at their surroundings. ]

In my current state, I do not know if I can protect you as well as before.

[ Looking back at Gregory, he then removes his red leather jacket. He had realized that one of the sensations he now experienced was "cold", and while he is still trying to understand what happened to him, he knows enough to realize that this kind of weather is not good for a child without the proper outerwear.

So he drapes the jacket over Gregory's shoulders. It is much too big, but it will have to do. ]

But I will still do my best to keep you safe.
