When you started working alongside Barbatos, you were a bit wary about him, for a very, very long time.

You never thought you'd start to consider him a close friend, but you did over time. You found yourself enjoying taking a moment to just chat with him when neither of you were that busy, and plus, you could tell he definitely hid more secrets than he let on.

You were currently standing nearby, watching Barbatos prepare tea for Diavolo in silence.

"..."

Barbatos was quiet aswell, focusing on his task with a composed expression.
