Barnaby was like, "WHAT EVEN" because he had never met anyone who was so adamant that hero work should be done without a paycheck. Where he comes from, that stuff is a legitimate career choice, and doing hero work along with a separate, paying job doesn't sound very wise to him. He was especially taken aback by the acknowledgment that scientists and medical personnel should get paid for helping people, which was then promptly coupled the assertion that heroes shouldn't. Even his partner Kotetsu doesn't take his old-fashioned ideas of heroism that far, so that is kind of an impressive feat to Barnaby, LOL.

Consequently, Jaime strikes Barnaby as pretty young and naive, guided more by lofty personal ideals, rather than the reality of a given situation.

On the other hand, Barnaby recognizes that they come from two very different places. Maybe it just wasn't necessary for mutants to need an image overhaul in Jaime's world, which would mean no Hero industry. Barnaby also wonders if this "pro bono" attitude is widespread where Jaime comes from, or if it's just a result of his age. Whatever the case may be, Barnaby knows he probably doesn't have the whole picture, so he doesn't actively dislike Jaime or anything like that (although, it actually takes a lot for Barnaby to actively dislike anyone, since his default mode is "detached indifference"). Plus, Jaime seemed willing to at least hear him out on the logic behind the Hero industry, which is never a bad thing in Barnaby's book.

Also, he may have caught wind that Jaime tried to help Kotetsu out of his suit, in which case Barnaby would want to check to see how much of an ass Kotetsu made of himself while Jaime dealt with him, and handle any damage control, hahah.

I THINK THAT'S ALL...
