Silent to allow Ever to process everything she's said, Isla quietly finishes her tea and sets the empty mug back down on the coaster, smoothing out her skirts beneath the table. Glancing across at him as he finally speaks, she just about manages to cage the offer to stay with her that threatens to spill from her lips. If he had wanted anything like that, he would have said it, and besides, he isn't the only one who remembers the last time he'd been in her apartment.
Tilting her head at the suggestion of Mateo and La Verbena, she gives a slow nod, considering it. "He has been down to Torchline quite a lot lately," she agrees. "I wonder whether his parents plan on asking him to stay in Haulani anyway. They may have already sent something to him, for all I'm aware..." All of which is to say that there's every likelihood that the lavender-clad schooner will be over Torchline's skies soon enough.
"If you asked him, I imagine he would be happy for you to stay. You stayed with him before, right?"
