Sleeping on the ship had just begun to make sense after the first couple days. He wouldn't have to worry about getting home in the dark if he stayed with Garth'zel too late, and he wouldn't have to worry about getting back on time in the morning, or whether or not Garth'zel would still be here. That was a niggling fear at times, that Garth'zel would get bored and leave, and maybe not even say goodbye. Not to mention that this means he gets breakfast sooner.
But even with those problems solved, there's still the bigger one. How can he convince Garth'zel to stay? Every day they've spent together has just made him want it even more. Garth'zel is... maybe not fun, but he pays attention to Ezra and cares about what he thinks, and he knows so much, and he's interesting, and just being around him fills some kind of empty space Ezra hadn't realized was there. He doesn't know how to describe it, just that he doesn't want it empty again.
If he can't keep coming up with things to look at, though...
"I was thinkin'," he says, trying not to show that he's been wracking his brain all morning. "Do you wanna see the flowers? They like people." He doesn't even know if Garth'zel likes flowers. He just can't think of anything else.
