I will not be brave, but I'm grateful to get through
As Isla opens the door, it takes Everest's mind a moment to register that while there is a beautiful blue-eyed blonde standing before him, that this was not in fact the person he was looking for. Blinking at Isla for a moment as if utterly confused by who and what he was seeing, it's year's worth of ingraining politeness into everything he does that unlocks his tongue. "Yes I was. Sorry-" he adds hastily, before taking a step back. "And hello."
A touch unsure where to go from here, Ever tries to think what his mother would do, what his father would do, what Mateo might do. All of them, he thought, would at least smile, and so while it's a touch delayed, the aviator offers Isla an apologetic smile before patting his bag as if to offer an explanation. "I brought something for Flora that I thought might help her arm. My mother is a doctor you see, and I'd mentioned that her wound didn't seem to be healing and so she suggested that perhaps this might help despite being nonmagical." Everest explains in a single breath.
"But if you're a doctor, and you're here..." Knowing likely more about Isla than Isla knew of him, the aviator frowns slightly, suddenly doubting whether step one of his plan for that evening had been necessary at all.
