What word is there to describe you? I thought myself incapable of caring for anyone any longer. But you make me happy. Is this weakness, or the thing that lets me fight on?
He somewhat knew of Tobias' reputation in the Foundation, and is a little shook by the fact Damian has that necklace in the first place. Once the initial shock wears off, though, Grey in time finds himself rather liking the guy. He's funny for one, and can draw Starfall out of their shell-that's no easy feat. The needling can get embarrassing, but never in a way that really hurts. Grey feels awful over Tobias getting stuck in that jar on multiple occasions, and his awkward attempts at cheering the guy up culminate in the "Friendship Jar" name. He's trying his best, though, and recognizes how uncomfortable this entire situation must be for both Damian and Tobias.
Appreciates Grey's earnest and good nature, but loves to tease him light-heartedly whenever given the ammo to do so.
"So does this mean you're a furry?"
He's not so naïve that he fails to recognize the unbalanced dynamic between them. However, Grey refuses to think of the two in terms of researcher and D-Class, especially with their split from the Foundation. Damian is his friend-at least, Grey likes to think so. He stubbornly refuses to give space for Starfall's insistence on him being more important; he wants to protect Damian, not cast him aside. That said, Grey is still a rather socially awkward person, so he has frequent trouble talking with the man in a casual manner.
Damian at first assumed that Grey was just like the other scientists, but during the Containment Breach, he couldn't turn away from another person who needed help.
After escape, he keeps lowkey expecting the dynamic to return. That of researcher and lab rat. As they hide out in Grey and Starfall's apartment, he walks on eggshells just in case they decide he's not worth it and remove him.
Over time, Grey's kindness eases his worries, and its easier to believe that Grey wasn't like the other scientists.
