Everest
"It has UV protection in it." Ever replies a touch defensively, though they both know it's simply because he didn't like having much bare skin showing. For whatever reason, at some point growing up the young aviator had developed quite a complex about his body, hence swimming wearing a shirt and shorts.
Despite his dislike of being touched, in a medical setting (and perhaps solely because of his mother), Ever was more or less patient about it, such that he nodded (grimly) to Mateo. "It doesn't really hurt." He says, justifying this half-lie because of how subjective defining pain was. As for how long? Closing one eye and looking up at a corner of the ceiling partially to aid in remembering and partially so that he wouldn't be swamped by the close presence of Mateo, Ever hmmmmm'd. "Maybe a week or so?" The aviator can't be entirely sure if only because he'd promptly started ignoring the discomfort the second he had felt it.
