Barnabas
Warnings: strong language, mentions of trauma, angst, slight mentions of bruising/ wounds, child hunger
Summary: Barnabas thinks back to the first ever batch of orphans that is brought to the healing Haligtree…
Feedback appreciated, 18+. Couldn’t stop thinking about this after that doodle I did of him with the kiddos.
Tumblr media
He remembers the first wagon, rickety and wheels hardly carrying it through the gates despite its delicate cargo. The covered bed was full to the brim with misbegotten children, mostly orphans displaced from pretentious human towns; poor little scraps with hardly enough clothing to cover their backs.
The path to the Haligtree was not an easy one either, the snowfields treacherous for even the most seasoned adventure. By the time the wagon stopped in Elphael even the guards were weary from hunger and cold, eager to be rid of the many mouths that needed feeding.
Barnabas waited for the wagon to come to a stop, the guards dropping to the ground heavily. One held out a thick scroll, wrapped in thick twine. He took it, snapping the wrapping with a claw to unroll it; golden eyes scanned it over.
There were thirty-six children: thirty-two misbegotten and four omen, all from the same city. The reigning lord of the area has sent them off to a ‘better place’.
Barnabas’s frown deepened.
Pretty words for sweeping the undesirables under the rug, while looking generous all the while.
No matter…
Barnabas thought as he rolled up the scroll.
They will be safe now.
“I’ll introduce myself.” Barnabas finally spoke, slipping the scroll into his robes.
“Be quick about it.” The guard gritted his teeth, weariness wearing away his respect, “We have a schedule to keep.”
Before Barnabas could respond the second guard tapped the first, whispering something. The guard gave a wiry smile, holding out his hand expectantly, “And there the matter of-“
“The payment.” Barnabas cut him off, pulling out the agreed upon amount of runes. Before he dropped it into the others hand, he added tightly, “Be sure to thank your Lord for his great kindness.”
The guards held back any other remarks, allowing him to break away and circle to the back of the wagon. He gingerly undid the claps, lowing the door to peek inside.
Six dozen eyes greeted him, glowing in the dim light. The children didn’t move, save for the shivering as they huddled together.
“Hello.” He spoke gently, kneeling down by the wagon’s lowered door. He swallowed, “I am called Barnabas.”
The children gawked at him like baby birds, still frozen. The youngest looked to be only three, the smallest omen Barnabas had ever seen. “Would you like some food?” He offered the group, “Or maybe some warm beds?” When they didn’t respond he told them, “No matter what you must come out of the wagon…it’s owner wished to get it back.”
Finally one child spoke up, chirping, “I’m hungry.” A few others nodded in agreement, emboldened a bit by the first’s honesty.
“Then come.” Barnabas stood back a bit, “I’ll show you all the kitchens. Just yesterday we made so much bread.”
The children began to shuffle out, Barnabas realizing many were bruised from the long journey in the hard wagon bed; some even had whole patches of fur worn away from the bare wood. He frowned, counting the heads as they exited, realizing one was missing. Glancing back in the wagon he found the straggler: the smallest, smooshed back in the corner fearfully.
He sighed, the guards giving him a pressing look. He carefully crawled into the mouth of the bed, stilling when the child tightened up further in an effort to get as far away as the small space would allow.
Making his voice as soft as he could manage, Barnabas tried to coax, “It’s alright…no need to be afraid anymore.”
The child cracked open an eye, scanning him over cautiously.
“Come now.” Barnabas reached out a hand. The child didn’t move, not even when he got a bit closer. Barnabas carefully scooped up the little scrap, chest aching as they shook with fear.
“Shhh.” He soothed as he moved out of the wagon, “It’s alright, you’re home now.”
The child blinked up at him with large eyes.
~
Down in the kitchens a misbegotten woman by the name of Beryl, brought in a cauldron. Barnabas followed with a tray of bread. They got busy preparing a meal.
“Only broth and bread?” Barnabas questioned, watching her spoon each serving into a respected bowl.
“For now.” She soothed, “They’ve hardly had a good mouthful on their journey here, must l…let their stomachs get used to the idea of food again.”
“…aye.” Barnabas nodded, glancing up to see the group sitting quietly around the table. They looked so worn out, both emotionally and physically.
No longer shivering though…
Barnabas thought.
They passed out a bowel and hunk of bread to each child, Beryl standing back with a smile once everyone was served.
As the children started to eat, she turned towards Barnabas, “It will be good to have some li-little ones about.”
“They won’t be the last either…” he murmured.
Beryl clasp her hands together excitedly, “My Lord expecting his own li-little kits?!”
“No!” Barnabas exclaimed quickly, a blush darkening his cheek, “No…not me.”
Her face fell.
“If one city figured out they can just ship off their…‘undesirables’…then others will follow suit.” He explained.
“…ah.” She nodded sadly.
He made his way over to the table, sitting down in a free space. The children watched his every move.
The closest child, a young misbegotten sporting a larger pair of wings, had already drank down his broth and was now focusing on his bread happily.
Barnabas turned to him, wanting to attempt some conversation of some kind. “Can you fly?” He asked.
The boy shook his head as he took a bite from the bread.
“Have you tried?” Barnabas pressed, voice gentle.
Chewing slowly the boy shook his head again.
“I have some friends that could teach you.” Barnabas offered, “If you’d like. They have wings just like yours.”
“Like mine?” He asked around a mouthful.
“Oh yes.” He gave a soft smile, “A few have homes at the top of the tree. I can introduce you.”
The boy swallowed, nodding with a smile.
Barnabas’s smiled deepened, nodding to the boy as he stood. He made his way around the table, offering a bit of small talk here or there to any of the children that would humor him.
Once they were all full and warm their eyelids became quite heavy, some leaning on one another a bit. Beryl gathered them up, carrying one that was fully out, leading them to the prepared rooms.
The beds weren’t the best, straw mattresses thin, but each had a nice wool blanket. Every child had their own as well, none complaining as they crawled in. Barnabas watched as they cuddled down, catching a few doubling up to snuggle with one another.
A sound caught his sensitive ear, scanning over the room. The glint of still open eyes glittered from a corner, Barnabas quietly walking through the maze of beds to the culprit.
The smallest little omen was wide awake, staring up at him with large eyes. Barnabas sighed, kneeling down to make himself smaller.
She watched him, chewing softly on her thumb to self sooth. Her eyes flicked up to his horns, confusion pooling around her gaze.
“They’re real.” He assured, tapping hollowly against one with a claw.
The girl watched him with big eyes, reaching up with her free hand.
Barnabas’s lips cracked into a smile, bending forward within her grasp.
She mimicked the action, tapping on the horn. The sound it produced caused the first little shadow of a smile grace over her small face.
“See.” He hummed, “Omen, just like you.”
Chewing on her thumb a bit more, she regarded him silently. Barnabas began to stand, but a little tug stopped him in his tracks. The girl clutched as his robes, pulling him back.
“Alright…alight…” Barnabas sank down to the floor beside the bed, making himself comfortable. He watched as her eyes grew heavy, mercifully drifting to sleep. For the first time, the girl looked peaceful. Barnabas felt an ache in his chest, gently brushing hair from her face.
They were home now…

I think Freminet has some of the most interesting dissonance in his self perception of any Genshin character.
Like, of the Hearthlings we know, he's one of the most emotionally mature and intelligent. Lynette might still have him beat, but after playing her hangout... I dunno. I think they're tied. Lyney is Crumbling, Alrecchino is. Well. Arlecchino. Everyone else is a deeply traumatized child or adult and Freminet seems to pretty regularly be people's emotional support. His character stories talk about getting his vision by saving a bunch of other kids on a dive that went bad. The Selkie event literally had him being a therapist for a grownass woman, citing his past experiences with all the other Hearthlings that have died or killed themselves. And he handled that situation WELL. Yeah, he seems to live in a fantasy, but goddamn he's alive and a lot of people in his position aren't so clearly something is working.
Either his or Lyney's character story talks about the time Freminet had reached out to Lyney to try to ease his burdens, which resulted in Lyney blowing up at him. That probably contributed to Freminet thinking he's not good at it, but I think the reason Lyney reacted so badly was BECAUSE Freminet is actually a good support. He can't allow himself that from the little brother he's supposed to protect.
Freminet seems to both cry and dissociate often, but like... Kiddo you are in fact the only person in this family actually processing your emotions. Lynette dissociates 24/7. Arlecchino. Lyney lies and tells everyone he's fine and would literally rather die than admit otherwise. In comparison, Freminet is doing FANTASTIC
Freminet also gets a lot out of helping people! Like anyone, he needs to feel useful and needed. He seems to be an excellent mentor to the younger Hearthlings and perfectly competent on his own, but when you put him in a room with Lyney and Lynette who baby him and insist that THEY take care of HIM, he withdraws into himself.
Like, Freminet by himself feels like a young man and Freminet with the magician twins feels like a teenager. I have no idea how old he actually is. Logically, he would be OLDER than them! He's been with the House much, much longer and his experience shows. I think it's fascinating that they love him SO MUCH and yet, they just Cannot let him help them. Which is hurting him.
(Lynette is much better about not babying him and that is probably why their relationship is so much better than Freminet and Lyney's. Also why she keeps having to mediate between them. Because Lyney charges off trying to Fix Everything and that just makes Freminet feel useless and he doesn't want to get in the way and- you get the point)
Idk. It's hard to tell what things the previous director said to him vs what Arlecchino has said to him. I'm inclined to think our Arlecchino was the one that said he cries too much, but in a "crying in front of your enemies will get you killed" way and she herself is too fucked up to realize how "you cry too much" could be damaging.
Also I try not to consider gameplay stuff when it comes to story, but Freminet also has some of the most BRUTAL animations. He SMASHES HIS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT METAL PENGUIN INTO HIS ENEMY'S FACE. He doesn't think he's the most amazing fighter, and by Fatui standards he probably isn't, but he is winning fights against most grown men.
Tldr Freminet thinks he cries too much and is a burden and isn't good at helping people when he's actually the most mentally stable Hearthling send tweet

As Tales of Symphonia was my first Tales game and the only game I've beaten like five times completely... it holds a special place in my heart. I really love the cast and I was a walking strategy guide for it back in the GameCube days.
I had all the unlockable outfits carried over into NG+ (gotta collect those swimsuits baby) and honestly. I just. Really like this game. I haven't played it in a while but I have it on PS3 and now I long to hook it up and play it (sorry to my many other Tales games I haven't beaten once on PS3......).

A Thought:
As Emrys, Merlin is a very powerful sorcerer.
However, his utter lack of any formal training means Merlin is not a very good sorcerer.
The magic he does should be theoretically impossible, but he's got enough raw fucking power to just make it work. Infant demigod smashing blocks together and creating a Lego Death Star.
Merlin: *does magic that Should Not Work*
Other sorcerers:
Tumblr media
AND THEY ARE RIGHT TO FEEL UPSET
IMAGINE YOU'RE A SORCERER. YOU'VE BEEN PRACTICING YOUR CRAFT, SHOOTING THE SHIT, LAYING LOW, PLOTTING PLANNING.....THEN THIS FARMY BOY TWINK SHOWS UP AND NUKES THE FUCKING PRIESTESS OF THE LAKE OF AVALON
I'D FEEL PISSED TOO
like, bro, you meet him, you're apprehensive of him bc 'shit that's emrys'. the emrys. the dude that's said to be the greatest sorcerer to ever walk the earth. you meet him. you can feel his magic and like holy shit, what the fuck was that??? you ask him how the fuck he gained so much power by the age of 21????
merlin: you mean....y'all don't also just have magic doing shit when you're a toddler
you, the sorcerer who has had to spend years getting control to fucking heat up a teapot: .........no.......no our magic doesn't do that
goddamn do you wanna just chuck this adult child into the lake and be done with it. better yet, you wish for the sprites to just pick you up and use your body as a sacrifice for entrance into Avalon.
and then, and then
you see how this motherfucker fights against bandits and "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU JUST PUSHING THEM AWAY??? WHERE'S THE SHOWMANSHIP??? THE PIZZAZZ??? HOW MANY SPELLS DO YOU KNOW???"
merlin, who forgot he can freeze time and space and can launch lightning bolts at people: uh....3???
it takes the triple goddess to restrain you from murking the prophesized warlock right then and there.
"NO, NO, FUCK THAT, FUCK THIS, FUCK ALL O' Y'ALL!" you scream as you jump on a ship and move to a place that doesn't have op young adult children who didn't study shit and yet still get an A+

Whilst I understand why Naughty Dog prefers to put Jak in underdog situations, it would be REALLY, REALLY funny to have Spargus react to the fact Haven threw out the kid that killed the metalhead leader for em.
