Since he swore off using his powers, Barbatos frequently struggles with decision paralysis. It's stopped being so paralyzing, as he's learned over the centuries to just pick something even if it's not optimal, but he sometimes loses sleep for days over completely inconsequential things.
He's figured out that if he asks MC to pick, though, it alleviates the weird anxiety that would previously hang over him like a cloud, which is why you'll sometimes get texts from him asking you to pick between deserts for today's tea or other such things. He will never mention just how much stress you're saving him, but he hopes his gratitude is shown in his treatment of you.
