Everest
Ever, quiet as always, slides his key into the lock with near-surgical precision. Even had Tobi and Finn heard the lock slide the tumbler, there would hardly have been time to do much of anything before the boy opened the door, an apology already on his lips.
"I know I'm early, but we—" The small smile that had begun to form instantly froze and fell away as colour bloomed in the boy's cheeks. It was like being young all over again, on his way to the bathroom, to find his mother topless and his father's hands all over her. Older now what he saw was perhaps not as traumatizing, but it did reaffirm that being arriving early (badumptiss) was very bad.
Swallowing hard, Ever murmurs something that sounds like I'll come back when I said I would, before backing out, eyes down, and locking the door behind him.
