Everest
"I'm very sorry." Though the words sound contrived, Ever really does mean them, stiff-shouldered and blank-faced though he might be. He knows how much Mateo's flowers mean to him.
'Would you like me to come with you?' Quite what that would accomplish Everest has no idea, but it seems like the appropriate thing to offer. "Or...I could follow as a dog and if you give me the signal I could...I don't know, bark and provide a distraction?" Glancing at his notebook with quiet confusion, Ever presses his lips together and closes the book to lessen its apparently offensive nature.
Reaching for his sandwich Ever rotates the plate several times before picking it up delicately and staring at it long and hard to determine the best way to bite into it.
