[The admission seems to calm him a little bit-- not from his excitement, but. He can't imagine himself being very good company either, a worthless kid from another decade and now a failed assassin that can't keep his mouth shut. But if he's somehow made Damian happy, then he doesn't want to jeopardize it. And maybe knowing that he isn't just a complete burden sets him a bit at ease.
He didn't know what to say, so he simply nodded; though it was eager, and almost even perkier than before.]
Oh-- [He hadn't even noticed it getting darker, not consciously at least--] Yeah. That sounds good.
[He didn't want to admit that he actually was getting a little hungry, or that he felt exhausted. His eyes felt itchy, but a part of him is reluctant. Still expecting to walk back inside to a pair of handcuffs, or a yellow-eyed stare, or to simply be locked out of the house entirely.
But-- less reluctant than before. Damian wasn't in charge of the house, but he still trusted his word.]
I don't-- mind taking the room next to your's, though. [He'd prefer it. This is house is far too big.
He's tired and dubious, but there's still just a little extra bounce on the ball of his toes as he starts to make way for the Manor again. Old energy coming back, just bit by bit.]
