Whether or not Ezra knows it, he still feels like his own point is valid. He didn't succeed, so in the end it didn't matter to Garth'zel what Ezra did.
With the shift of subject, Ezra shrugs halfheartedly. How is supposed to describe that anyway? He'd acted on a whim, a feeling too nebulous for an eight year old to understand completely. If he said it was his instincts, would the man just laugh at him? Instincts are what his dad used to say he had whenever he tried to explain stuff like this. But his instincts had been wrong this time.
"I dunno," he finally says. "You were just... better, and... and you had shiny boots an' nice clothes."
