Okay, I know I'm not the only person the episode gave thoughts to, but even still, here I am. This prompt isn't entirely 133 specific, though, just inspired by it!
Essek's always been on the taller end for a drow--around 5'5", maybe, in the upper range of height for his race. (Not to mention the floating adds even more!)
When he became close to the Mighty Nein, he was occasionally a little flustered by the fact that, when he let his feet touch ground around them, a good number of them, including Caleb, were actually taller than him, something he isn't used to. Even Jester being as adventurer-grade buff as she is (though he has a couple inches on her height wise) made him feel... something.
He files this away as not worth examining further... until it becomes clear there's something more to it. Maybe it's the Capeleb incident--he isn't particularly into the 7 INT giant ape bit, but he realizes after the fact that being manhandled was. Interesting. Or maybe there's another, more understated moment that Essek realizes he's got a particular taste; maybe he simply realizes that Caleb is stronger than him physically even without the help of magic (as Caleb's got 10 Strength while Essek's likely got 6-8).
Established Shadowgast or not-yet-established Shadowgast equally fine, so long as it's Shadowgast in general (pining is okay, too!) and about Essek having a size and/or strength kink as well as the hots for Caleb.
