Mateo
Turning a corner up and into the blessed familiarity of the Falling, the moored skyships beginning to pop up all around them, Mateo already seems to be coming back to himself a little. Or perhaps it's just the addition of his friend's discomfort that's allowing him to break away from his selfishness, but either way, he hobbles a little quicker to draw even with Everest.
"It is true that some people are naturally more inclined towards physical contact," he agrees - he's one of them, hey, hello. "But that is not just a gesture of appreciation, it can also be a sign of physical attraction. I believe those patrons may have been trying to flirt with you, Ever." He says it like an apology, though it's accompanied by a dimpled smile. "It is quite common in taverns. You are off limits because you are staff, and that simply makes you more tempting."

I wanna wake up
Can't even tell if this is a dream
