Early August
Don't Feed Wild Animal
During his earliest days on the ship, he's noticeably tense, and most people will get a wary glance as he passes them by. Those who are particularly prone to being silent in their presence, though?
May catch Ekko off-guard around a corner, in which case he'll jump back and throw his fists up, clearly ready to throw down... or rather, to defend himself if necessary, because he certainly won't be throwing the first punch.]
Re: Don't Feed Wild Animal
Hey, wait, I'm not going to fight you.

Seriously? Don't you think you're being a little too quiet on a prison ship?

So when the new guy in the engine room looks like he's about to jump out of his skin for the thrid time in as many minutes, Vash decides that he needs to step in. ]
Careful with that one!
[ He's keeping his distance, well out of arm's reach and with his eternal big stupid smile plastered across his face, as he points to the lever in from of Ekko. Well, it's not a lever so much as it's a bar of soap, perched somewhat precariously on the top of a small globe. ]
I'm still not sure what it does, but I know it makes a terrible sound if you move it! Terrible sound! The kind that leaves your ears ringing for hours and hours!
no subject
He tenses at the exclamation, freezing in place.]
... huh?
[The tension fades as confusion replaces it, and he gives a frown.]
... is that... not just soap?

Wanna find out how that goes?
no subject
He breathes for a moment, looking to the blade, then looking to Ellie. At the least, he can recognize a defensive stance for what it is.
With a hard sigh, he lowers his fists.]
Man, I can't stand this place. These close quarters are driving me nuts.

Something Something Sandman and Time Jokes
A good amount of time will be spent in the common rooms spacing out looking deeply contemplative... Or maybe he's only taken a couple of bites of his food in the cafeteria before... definitely spacing out, this time.
One might even find him tucked into a corner of the library or garden sound asleep, usually in a place where he can see someone frequenting.]

Eventually she spots him, and... decides not to wake him up. Quietly, she settles down nearby... unsure of why she felt the need to.]

He makes a sound in his sleep Jinx has likely never heard from him before: a soft whimper escaping his throat.]

Oh! Good, you're up! And the cocoa's still hot, too!
no subject
A couple blinks, and he sits up, not entirely sure what to do in the face of all this hospitality. So he just focuses on the obvious thing.]
...cocoa?
[The way he says the word suggests he isn't at all familiar.]

Running Out of Time
rolls in here
Early evening finds him on the deck, playing a light, pleasant tune on an elegant and ornate white flute. He's perched on the railing and balanced there carefully, eyes lowered as the notes drift across the mostly-empty space, but--
His gaze does lift, curious and visibly glowing with an inner light, when he senses attention focused on him. He finds Ekko and tilts his head with a little smile, lowering the flute from his lips.]
Am I bothering you?
no subject
The inner light has Ekko tensing briefly, before he forces himself to relax again, knowing the chances of encountering another individual on here affected by Shimmer slim to none.]
Not at all. More hoping I'm not the bother.
[He's definitely very visibly tired, rigid shoulders having slumped and dark bags under his eyes.]

Mid August
Two Cents Flood
Naturally, when he wakes up immediately filled with dread and helplessness, it kind of fucks him up. Just a little.
He isn't sure why, but the first thing he texts is:
Jinx?
This anxiety is only amplified as time goes on, and it's entirely possible Ekko might collide with someone during one of his... ah... zoomie episodes.
"Sorry!"
Better catch a hold of him because he looks ready to bolt once more.
He stresses himself out so much that once again, he's back to sleeping in strange places - sometimes a common room couch, sometimes tucked away in the Library, and sometimes just near certain people's doors - Jinx's, John's, Reno's, Tendi's and Hythlodaeus's to be exact.
This is very unfortunate for Ekko when he next wakes, blinking many times over and rubbing at his eyes, grumbling,]
What the hell? Why's it so dark?
Zoomies
NYOOM
Oh yes. There are definitely Similar Vibes here. At first, Ekko isn't sure what to do with this information, but then...
He slowly reaches for the hand to let go of him. Given that Rawne does let go...
"Race you."
Annnd he's already turning and bolting for the other end of the hall.

But he's not just going to walk by either way.
He crouches, hesitating briefly before touching, placing his hand on Ekko's shoulder and jostling him very gently. It isn't as if he's concerned about the boy being able to do lasting harm to him if he startles. At least he's not wearing his floor-length black robe anymore... he might just be mistaken as a spectre of death by a stressed mind.]
Ekko.
[Softly.]
This is hardly a place for sleeping.

Cabin Doors
She doesn't let it stop her from stopping by the Lounge for her usual nightcap, which is where she's coming back from when she finds Ekko outside the door to Bag End. She frowns, crouching down next to him and placing a hand on his shoulder. "Ekko? You all right, there?"
