Barnaby's expression grew flat, which was probably the best nod toward normalcy either of them were going to get this morning. Didn't Kotetsu think to check? Then again, even if he had, there was no guarantee he would have actually remembered. And to think that he disliked it when Barnaby used to call him old man. If the shoe fit, then that wasn't exactly Barnaby’s problem, now was it?

This was serious, and Kotetsu needed to cause as little trouble for them as possible by at least pretending he was aware of his surroundings. Honestly...
