"It bothered me." Essek said this simply, perhaps even a bit selfishly. He continued as he looks into Caleb's blue eyes, and no matter that he could not look into the sun without pain-- he could gaze into Caleb's eyes and it was the same warmth, better even.
"It bothered me because I wanted to go out with you to cafes and bookshops but for the longest time I was unable to, and I needed a solution. But while I did, there was the very real fear that you would find someone else to go do those things with, someone who perhaps would take my place." He had become domesticated, Caleb-- he had found his person. He liked the Nein and like a cat, would allow them to pet him, relax in the same room as them and bask in their chaos.
But Caleb was the only lap he wanted to sit within, the only hand he wanted to have stroke him, would search him out in every room and perch like a guardian angel nearby. If he was a cat, then Caleb was whom he had claimed as his own.
