[The problem with Barry, apparently, is that he trusts too easily. He trusts Taako, he trusts everyone on the ship, in this house, he trusts and loves them all so much. He would fight to his dying breath to protect them, he would kill to keep them safe, he would do anything to make sure all of them have everything they need and more. He doesn't want the people he love to want for anything.
The problem with Barry is that his heart is just too big. That's why this hurts so bad. Loving so many people leaves so many able to hurt him where it counts.]
Taako...
[The elf, on the other hand, doesn't trust at all. Not according to what Barry is hearing right now. That's Taako, always looking over his shoulder, ever vigilant. Even against his own family. To some degree, objectively, it's understandable. That doesn't mean Barry is able or even willing to understand. He couldn't imagine ever suspecting his family like that.
Barry doesn't know what to say to this. Taako won't even look at him. His stomach hurts. He wants to throw up.]
... 'm gonna go find Lup. Sounds like y'wanna be alone right now.
[It hurts to say it. Barry doesn't even know if it hurts Taako's feelings or not - and honestly? Not knowing is the worst part.
He moves past his near-cowering brother-in-law, headed for the door. Unless stopped, he's done here.]
