[Essek does his best to hide his surprise and subsequent delight at being offered Caleb's arm -- which he takes with the ever so slight hesitance, as if this was something he wasn't allowed to have but wanted to take it anyway, as if it would be taken away from him in a moment's time when Caleb thinks better of it.
But with all the grace and surety he can muster, he takes it like he's meant to be hung from Caleb's arm.]
With this continued contact it should not drain you much either. [A hint, a drop of something so it will continue, so that Caleb won't think better and take it away from him.
He wants this so bad, to feel for a moment like there is something more after what happened. The lack of contact after-- He smiles at Caleb instead of dwelling on the feelings of loneliness that came at the heels of when they parted.]
