See, being a bird sucks sometimes, because he imprinted on this moron who just wants to make pillows with his feathers and now he can't stop following him around.

But duckling jokes aside, he actually has a tremendous amount of loyalty and respect for Eiji at this point. It means a lot to him, having someone he knows he can trust. And like you said, he's a balancing influence, since Ankh really needs to get knocked in the head with a moral compass every once in a while (and the damn thing started leaving little pieces behind in there at some point. You're turning him into something vaguely resembling a good person, Eiji, how dare you). Ultimately he thinks there's a place for Eiji's trust and optimism, even if comes out sounding horribly naive a lot of the time. And he misses it, because Eiji's not nearly as much like that as he was, and it's concerning.

He will probably never entirely understand Eiji's capacity to be so attached to him and to forgive him for everything, but he certainly appreciates it. Because he's also used to being used, and Eiji went to the trouble of saving him not for any kind of benefit or because Ankh did anything in particular, but just because he wanted him to be there. And that's important.

This has been today's episode of things Ankh will never say out loud.
