Mateo
That's the thing about expectations and letting them trip you up. Just as no one, likely Everest included, would expect Mateo to fail at cultivating a finicky species of plant (for example), the botanist in turn simply doesn't expect his friend to fail at tests. He's never done before and given that they're grown up he feels it unlikely that Ever will start now. Oh, how he is about to be proven wrong.
Given the above assumption, however, it's with a tragically cheerful smile on his lips and a balloon bearing Congratulations! that Mateo approaches his friend on the boulder. One could argue that he is also dressed appropriately for the season, only the botanist is wearing a pair of sandals, a sunhat, and some tye-dyed nightmare that probably wants to be a toga.
"Ahoy, Captain Hart," he trills, moving to sit down on the rock beside Ever.
