And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do
Everest’s smile flickered—not out of amusement, but surprise—at her initial comment, the idea that he wasn’t happy about her suggestion. "I am happy about it," he said immediately, tone threading between earnest and faintly incredulous. I forgot he should be happy about it lmao "That’s not something I ever thought I’d hear from you, Isla, and gods, yes, of course I’m happy about it." But then she kept speaking, and the edge of that lightness dulled just slightly.
At the mention of Sunjata and Remi, Ever’s jaw tensed—not sharply, but likely enough for the Remedy to notice. "Sunjata," he echoed flatly. "And Remi...both of whom you used to...be with?" There was no malice in it, but there was a tension beneath the words, as if the patterns he saw didn’t quite sit right. "It’s hard to take their concern at face value, Isla. Don’t you think?" His voice was quiet now, but sharper. "That the people who’ve been with you before are suddenly so worried about the one who is with you now?"
