"Yes, that's what I would assume." He's only been here a short time, though, so he can't say if anyone has tried to organize anything anyways...
And then Facilier freezes, and Barnaby halts immediately. Even if he's trying not to show his displeasure with this little revelation, Barnaby can tell he's uncomfortable. The tone of his voice, the way his shadow moves... it would all point to discomfort even if Barnaby couldn't read his thoughts. Is he going to be abandoned again?
But then Facilier starts speaking again, and he seems a little more interested in this situation. More than that, he's... understanding Barnaby's position in a way that so many people before him haven't. He doesn't dare hope yet. He knows he's a poor excuse for a toy, and that he has no right to have another owner... but if there's a chance he can still do better...
A vase nearby shatters. Barnaby has learned to ignore that happening by this point.
"It's not at all what I want, sir," he answers, a little desperately. "I'm supposed to find a new master. If you would take that role, I would be in your debt forever."
Forever is what Kotetsu said when Barnaby asked if he'd support him... forever is a very good word. Surely this stranger would like to hear it?
There's a crumbling sound as a crack forms in the wall, as if someone had punched it.
