"Nothing about this seems sanitary." Everest is saying, though despite his doubts about the cleanliness of the Lucky Rum Fountain that Isla is showing him, his smile is adoring even as he raises a dubious brow. "Granted, it does seem very Torchline, I'll give you that."
Having found themselves with a surprisingly free afternoon, Isla had promised to show Everest the port if only so that he could see it without having to immediately jump onto a skyship and leave. They'd gone to see the Fountain, of course, but now standing in front of it, the aviator wrinkled his nose and gave his head a little shake. "White rum? Do people ever mistake it for water?" Ruffling his fingers through his curls before pushing his sunglasses further onto his nose, Everest shakes his head slightly, eyeing the rum. It smelled far too sweet, and though Torchline wasn't anywhere near reaching the blazing temperatures it was known for, nothing about the fountain seemed like it would be refreshing at all to drink from.
