Mateo
"You know, it would not surprise me if he decided to stay," Mateo says with a small smile and a glance towards his sister. "Since he was able to put all of his social anxiety into a little magical glass acorn, he has been doing very will with Isla I think. So if he decides to stay with her in Torchline, I can only wish him the best." He makes a mental note to meet with his best friend in the coming days, in fact, to see if he can tease his thoughts out of him.
But then it's back to the magical wardrobes. "We really would have. And none of our outfits would ever go missing for more than a day or so. We could share changing fashions, and climb through to visit one another whenever we wanted." Sighing dramatically, Mateo nudges Flora gently with his hip. "Well, now one or both of us has to make it happen, don't we."
Releasing the Doubletake for her to approach the shrine, Mateo walks quietly at her heels to admire the solemn little area, the only sound around them now the trickling of water and the howling of the distant wind. While she and Spice rid the fountain of leaves and dust and debris, the botanist spends a little time teasing vines and ivy away from the stone to prevent it from rooting too deeply into it and ruining the infrastructure.
"I did not expect it to be so peaceful," he confesses.

I'm a scholar and a gentleman
And I don't usually fall when I try to stand
And I don't usually fall when I try to stand
