Everest
Exhaling a pointed stream of air but knowing that Mateo was 100% correct, Everest just nods stiffly. As for the ball throwing? Blushing, but not for the reason Mateo might think, the aviator looks down suddenly, studying a callous on one of his hands. Debating picking at it before making himself lace his fingers together to stifle the impulsion, he lets his head loll back and forth as he tries to find the words to explain. "I..built a machine." He explains, and for the sudden colour on his cheeks and the way his lips seem heavy with shame and guilt, one might think said machine was the sort to help a young man masturbate, instead of what it in fact did.
"It...I put the ball in, and it throws it for me." That way he'd never have to bother anyone to play with him, as he assumed it was a nuisance.
Exhaling in a way that tries to avoid being a sigh, Everest resigns himself to being shirtless at home. At least there would be no one around to see, though he'd have to triple-check that the blinds were closed. "Okay. That would be helpful, thank you." Brightening suddenly, the aviator looks at the necklace around his friend's neck. "Is that alright? I don't want to...to waste her powers on this."

even if i had to lose you to know you,
i'd still be that temporary phase that you grow through
