there was no where for me to stay, but I stayed anyway
Everest is too overwhelmed to argue with Mateo. He's quite sure there's a very obvious flaw in his friend's logic, but for the music in his ears and the chatter of voices all around them, he can't seem to find what it is.
Having been dressed by the botanist such that he looked more or less presentable in a flowy white shirt and dark slacks, Ever is content to overcome the awkward way he has to move about in his friend's shadow in order to keep Mateo's hand securely in his pocket, if only because Mateo is the only really familiar thing to him in this strange setting.
As Flora presses her lips against his cheek and tugs him toward her, the aviator can only try and restrain the mewl of discomfort that wants to whine from the back of his throat. Wondering if, having greeted their hostess, he couldn't just sit outside on the sand as a dog until Mateo was done, Ever does his best not to succumb to the sensory overload threatening to send him into a panic attack. ' Congratulations Flora. This looks very nice.'
