Mateo
Champagne, cocaine, gasoline
and most things in between
and most things in between
Contrary to popular belief, Mateo does not spend every minute of every day drunk or high or in someone else's bed. (Granted, it's about a 70-30 split, so you'd not be blamed for the assumption). Nevertheless, on this particular afternoon, as the Longheat sun leans, hazy, towards early evening, the botanist has just shut up shop and is headed home.
It's not a surprise to find his door unlocked - he gives out keys for a reason - but he doesn't expect Everest of all people to be inside, mostly because the aviator is too polite to let himself in and is more likely to come and find Mateo directly. Nudging the door shut with his hip and placing down the paper bag of groceries, he's already halfway to untying his florist apron and unfastening his hair from its top-knot when he spots his friend.
And then he spots the drugs, medicinal and otherwise. Among them are a few rare finds - not to mention he thinks one of the half-chewed specimen is one of his philodendrons - and he has to do a double (and triple) take when he realises Everest must have actually taken them. Like... himself.
"Are... was there a party I forgot about...?"
