I will not be brave, but I'm grateful to get through
Far too focused on the situation at hand to notice Isla, Everest only glances up as the cats begin to shift their focus from their meal to the woman making her way toward them. He's too painfully distracted to be embarrassed by his present situation such that the blush on his cheeks is entirely from exertion and desperation.
'Uhm.' Everest sputters, reaching out hesitantly to place his hand on the side of the pool where a rather large cat immediately bats it away. "If you could make sure they aren't eating my notebooks, that would be very helpful." He answers before trying to slyly swim to the other side of the pool. He's followed by one of the cats who merely wants attention, and where it stands mewling for his hands to come and pet it, the aviator is forced to continue to tread water.
Several tails flick out from within Ever's bag where not only has his lunch been devoured, but the corners of a few pages of one notebook that Mateo had thoughtfully spritzed with something the cats apparently found irresistible.
