The answer to his question isn't as clear as Ezra wants - sometimes, sometimes not - but it's still enough to deflate his hope more than a little. There's still a chance, of course, but still. Experience has taught Ezra that people who leave Lothal don't usually ever come back again. Too backwater, too far away from anything important, too boring, or any number of other reasons he's heard passing spacers grumble. He doesn't know which reason would be Garth'zel's, or if it would be a reason he hasn't heard before, but it still feels too likely to him.
Unless Ezra can give him a reason to stay.
Biting his lip, the little boy lets himself fall behind while Garth'zel goes to check the weather for the day. He needs time to think. He's got to come up with something.
When Garth'zel comes back, he's going to find Ezra laid out on the lounge couch. "I don't feel good," Ezra complains. (His acting is nowhere near as good as he thinks it is.) "Can we go look at the flowers tomorrow?"
