"Bunny? Oh, he's coming up on twenty-six." Kotetsu will definitely have to make sure to keep tracking days here so he doesn't miss it. But then he looks down at Frisk, frowning in faint confusion.
"Is 'retire' not the right word? It's not quitting." Kotetsu is adamant on this point. "He didn't quit. But it wasn't even completely his choice to get into the hero business in the first place. So I guess when I left, he decided to try and figure out what he really wanted to do with his life." Kotetsu shrugs, not sure what anyone else would ever want to do with their life, but definitely not begrudging Barnaby wanting to find out.
"Sorry, English is, like, my...third language?" He taps a finger against his forehead. "So sometimes it's hard to think of words."
At their discomfort, he smiles in reassurance even if they can't see it, and pats them carefully on the shoulder. "It's like you said - if we have to be stuck here, at least we're not alone. If we have to be here, it's good that it's together. I'm thankful for that."
