After arriving, he immediately got down on one knee, his head down, greeting Nora with his respective title before reciting his own. Although annoyed as well as a bit surprised, he was sure Barik was going to call him 'My Liege' or something retarded like that.
When they both chased Kazuma down, asking for premission to use magic, they almost seemed to be moving in synch...
When Kazuma opened his cocky mortal mouth, gushing forth incandescent human blabble,
"I think you're actually... Worried about this stray dog."
When that jelly controlled Barik's body, how hard he fought against it so he wouldn't hurt Nora... He really fought, then. He showed so much weakness during that time. Nora could swear his whole body was trembling. And to protect him, Barik ended up ruining his arm, blood drenching the grass...
When he shut his eyes like that, how much pain was he feeling?
Telling him-no, Kazuma was there too, Nora wasn't singled out- when he told THEM to run, to get away, to be safe...
"P-Please just go... I'll have to hurt you if..."
When he screamed, as if it was the worst thing if Nora got hurt...
"Get out of the way!!"
And afterwards...
"...Look, uh, thank you. I apologize for troubling you.
"You were very helpful.. As amazing as that sounds."
That awkward way he said it, as if he were embarrassed (well, he probably was...). Cold there have been something hiding beneath that cold demeanor? A reason for Nora's heart to jump up his throat?
...Then again, Nora was never very good at using his head. Maybe it was just his imagination....
