"Oh, no. I think I will be..." Mateo begins, before dutifully falling silent to let Ever finish the list of items he has brought. And because he knows it's in the other boy's nature to help - and helping will make him feel better - Mateo lets him. "Could I get the ice pack, please?" he decides. "And the snack?"
Shifting to get comfortable on the grassy knoll beneath the willow, Mateo leans back on his hands. "Neither have I, not really," he confesses; living between the Greatwood and Stormbreak didn't really count. "But my parents always talked about getting to go on one, one day. I think you are meant to relax and do nothing." And have a lot of sex, but that might just be Mateo's parents.
"What if we just... had a project to do while we were here? To pass the time?"
