A good person, huh? He wouldn't laughed, if he wasn't aware and considerate enough of how sensetive a moment this was. For Shivan, and for him. He smirked, but that was as far as it went, as the smirk simmered down as he looked between them. He'd already been half exposed with his scars, but given the others exposure, and their long history, he saw no reason not to even things out. He let his top fall as well, looking over the memories marking his body.
Tattoos from another life, marking his actions and his 'successes'. Scars marking his successes and his survival and endurance. At least, that's how he saw it. Doesn't always leave confidence brimming, which was only part of the reason he liked to adjust his uniform to accent the parts of his body he did know, with confidence, looked appealing without putting the worst of it on display.
"Dunno about good person, sweet heart," he remarked softly, weak amusement in his voice, though he spoke the pet name he'd had for Shivan with more respect, "but it is what it is. It's reminders for me, too. All of it, marking my body. Most I can be proud of, others I just wear with the necessary shame. That's how it is. That's the life. As for one that didn't deserve so may?" he inclined his head.
His gaze flitted over Shivan, but it didn't linger. He knew enough about his history with Corneo, but unless absolutely necessary for any mission, he'd never pried anything out of him he wasn't willing to give, and he wouldn't start now.
Still...
"You're damn strong, ya know that, right? Stronger than most people I meet, and ya know that's saying something." he told him. His gaze flitted to Shivan's neck then, and he sighed. "Damn bastard. I'll celebrate the day we bring back firing squads for that fat fuck."
He looked over some of his cuts, none deep enough to leave major scars, but enough to have lingered still. He ran a hand over a particularly long one over his bicep, and laughed. "Stupid SOLDIERs went AWOL when I got this one."
