Ekshan kept his shame filled gaze on the floor, mental berating himself for being unable speak. It seemed like such a simple action, yet he hadn't been able to make himself speak up. Gabrin's casual tone didn't help. His breath hitch in his chest as he had the panic driven thought that Gabrin would now find someone else to take. Someone who could undoubtedly fill Ekshan's shoes in other areas as well. It wasn't at all reassuring and left a sick feeling of fear in his stomach. He'd quickly come to enjoy his new life and the thought of loosing it had him nearing a panic. Paranoia and doubt worked quickly to weave a dire outcome for him.
Childlike joy bleed up from beneath dark lashes as Ekshan studied Gabrin, testing the validity of his words. His head bobbed in an eager nod of agreement as relief replaced his previous fears, Gabrin was going to take him along after all. The yo yoing of his emotions was almost too much, he wasn't used to feeling so off balanced and with a less than firm grasp on his emotions. The lordling's expected look wasn't missed, and he needed to erase his turmoil with some other activity. Proving how genuinely grateful he was for the other man's kindness seemed like a good option. He toed off one shoe then the other, nudging them beneath the bed frame before moving round to the other side of the bed.
