The reaction is about as expected, and he takes note of the stance. He isn't unaffected by him, much how Rosie isn't. Fascinating. He keeps this proximity as Noctis explains the gods of his world, and while he would not name the Eikons godsβfor there is only one true godβmany others would liken them to such. They would be fools, but it that is the burden of man: fools till the last.
As Noctis lists them, Barnabas does notice a certain one that's lackingβnot only Odin, but also, "What of the Phoenix? Certainly he is not the Messengers in which you speak of."
It would prove rather piteous if that was what the Phoenix was reduced to in Noctis' world, but a different world would likely hold different rules. As was made obvious by the Eikons not manifesting within people. In truth, what Noctis does with these "gods" doesn't sound entirely unfamiliar to him for several reason. Not only in the form of Mythos claiming the power of each Eikon, but something from Valisthea's ancient history.
He cannot help but wonder what other similarities their worlds hold.
