busket:

barry coming to in his lich form after being killed in gerblins. watching taako, magnus and merle climb out of the well to the glass circle that was once phandalin, and just being like: “holy shit, its them. it was them the whole time. my best friends, and i didn’t even recognize them.”

watching taako pick up the pheonix fire gauntlet and just wanting to make himself visible and yell “THAT’S LUP’S, THAT’S YOUR SISTER’S! SHE MADE THAT, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER” but knowing that taako wouldn’t be able to understand, and that he’d just ruin everything by showing himself to them at that moment

watching them all get in to the ball back to the moon base, knowing that whatever lucretia is doing up there, they’re going to be roped in to helping her without knowing the truth and that they’re going to be lied to and told that the very organization they devoted their lives to was nothing but a group of some evil rogue wizards

and he doesn’t know what exactly she’s doing, why she’s trying to collect the relics they all worked so hard to hide away. but those 5 individuals up there are practically his family. lucretia is probably the only other being on the planet that knows how capable they really are. shes smart, but so are the boys, and he knows they can find the truth. for now he just has to watch over them, try to protect them, even if they think he’s evil.
