And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do
Wading towards the shoreline, Everest stopped next to where he'd discarded his shoes. There was no sense in putting them on with as wet as his socks and pants were, and now that he thought about it there hadn't been much gained by removing them in the first place.
Frowning as he was spoken to again, the aviator lifted his blue eyes and regarded the king. "Who?" He asked, the word stiffly leaving his lips. Ever's first thought was about Isla; she was the reason he was in Torchline after all, and though his loyalties had never been measured up against one another, certainly she was as near the top as she could reasonably be. That the Tidebreaker might have been referring to Dahlia didn't even cross his mind, and so it was with his feathers metaphorically ruffled at the thought of Hadama speaking ill of his girlfriend that Everest turned properly to face the king with his brow furrowed and jaw set.
