Mateo
Visibly relaxing despite himself to hear that there have been no further casualties since his brief return to Stormbreak, Mateo also manages a smile, tight though it might be. "That is good," he says, before following Remi's gaze towards the ceiling with dawning clarification. For a moment he'd assumed that the Bastion - as is his way, whether or not he's aware of it - had decided to visit regardless of their prior conversations. But for him to be in the shop to retrieve something from the old apartment upstairs? It helps, strangely.
"Of course. Let me unlock it," he says, wiping his hands on his apron and ducking beneath a string of delicate, heart shaped leaves to retrieve his ring of keys from behind the counter. "Would you like a copy?" he asks, holding up the keys once he's retrieved them. "I will only be here until the end of the week. I have asked someone to take over the shop until things are less..." He gestures vaguely. Voidy?
"After that, I will be flying down to Haulani to stay." Heading towards the steps spiralling upwards - steps that have almost been swallowed into the architecture of the shop by now - Mateo is careful where he steps, so as not to disturb vines or budding flowers.
