And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do
"I can always kidnap them for you." The aviator offers breezily. "And just bring them up here right to your doorstep." Grinning against the pillow, Everest knows it's ridiculous, but then, with his newfound confidence he was fairly certain he could pull it off. Flora would be the only difficult one and if nothing else he could probably just pick her up if he needed to.
"I'm not sure about that, but so long as she feels appropriately valued and cared for, that's all I need." Ever agrees, smiling sleepily at the shards of blue he can see over Mateo's shoulder as the botanist twists. Letting his eyes slowly fall closed, it strikes Ever for the first time that meeting Dahlia was perhaps one of the best things to have ever happened to him. His friendship with Mateo was probably the best thing, but following that? Everything positive in his life had all been possible after having met her.
"I love you, Mateo. I don't say it often enough, but I will from now on. And I want you to know that I'll always be here for you." The words are soft, but close as Ever's lips are to his friend's ear, there isn't need for much more than a whisper. Still, the aviator makes sure that the words are as clear and heartfelt as he can make them short of using the attuned bond.
