Toshi would really blush and fidget if he knew Barnaby could see Kotetsu's good influence in his actions and manners, especially a Barnaby that doesn't know him as well, and hasn't been there to watch all of those things develop. This Barnaby is getting Toshi's mostly-developed personality all at once. He wonders if that's better or worse. Or neither. He can almost hear Kotetsu, himself, encouraging Toshi to be his own person, to embrace their little differences, but reassuring him when he gets upset that it's fine to have Kotetsu as a role model, and to try to reflect some of his habits... not all of them. They'll be like brothers!
In fact, he remembers that moment very clearly. It makes him smile wistfully before he remembers he's in the middle of a conversation right now. "You're worth worrying about," he adds, a touch shyly.
"No need to fuss! I know you're not trying to abandon me. I really do want you to rest. You really need it." He blushes a bit, looking both pleased and overwhelmed at the idea of spending some gentle, easy time with Barnaby. It isn't a date. He hasn't had any kind of talk with Kotetsu about that yet. Don't make it weird, Toshi.

"That sounds lovely."
