Toshi wishes he could give Barnaby a rest. He knows how badly the hero needs it, from any point in time, in any setting. He needs some privacy and some rest and some pampering. Toshi would be overjoyed to provide any of that to Barnaby, and that thought makes him blush a little bit more. Perhaps he can at least make sure Kotetsu and Barnaby get some quiet time together to find comfort in one another and get away from the nonsense of this place.
He nods his head, looking a bit shy. "I think the world of you, Barnaby." That probably came out more affectionate than he meant to, and he worries it was inappropriate. He fidgets. "You're doing well, I know. I believe in you." He's learning, Toshi knows. He's watched it happen and is watching it happen.
His encouraging smile fades a little at the serious turn. "I'm sorry to hear that, too." Not surprised, but sorry. He isn't sure he's ready to face the idea that he wasn't 'half so bad', or whatever Barnaby means by that. Toshi looks away for a moment.
"I want to help you, you know, m-make it better. If I can, if you want."
