[ This isn't the first time for Jean Moreau. He'd been sold to the Moriyamas what already feels like a lifetime ago. Life with Riko had beat and tortured nearly all the pride out of Jean and being once again basically used as a thing, property doesn't hardly even register for him. What does register is an instinctual fear. If not pride or hope, Jean has an unbeatable survival instinct or he wouldn't have survived the years at Evermore with Riko.
So, it's not quite disinterest as Jean keeps his head down, subservient, not daring to look up. He's curious, he wants to know what the situation he is getting himself into is exactly. He can't help but believe that it will be worse somehow -- though, he's no longer been able to fathom what worse could be after the last time Riko had waterboarded him or ordered him sexually assaulted for his entertainment.
He doesn't look up even as the Moriyamas leave and then when his new owner is dismissing others. He's well aware that left them alone and he bristles inwardly but tries to keep the fear out of his form, though he is also careful not to stand too confident either. It's a fine line to tread. He feels his stomach twisting when the other comes nearer to him. ]
