Mateo
"So you should be. Happiness is the important thing, sorellina, or at least, that is what I am beginning to learn." Which unfortunately is exactly why he's moving back to the place he loves, but it's also why he has no intention of becoming a recluse up there again. Having rediscovered his family ties, he'll be capitalising on them for the foreseeable future.
Speaking of which, Flora's laughter is contagious, and soon enough they are both cackling at the top of a dragon-infested mountain, Mateo nudging his sister gently with his shoulder. "What is the magical equivalent of putting a sock on the door handle?" he wonders, grinning hard enough to dimple his cheeks, and he's already brainstorming a few ways in his head for discussion on the flight back down.
"I think they ought to be very pleased," he concludes. "You delivered some of Torchline, we cleaned the place up, and we injected some much needed laughter here." Taking one hand out of his pocket to sling his arm around Flora's shoulders, Mateo starts to hurry them back the way they came. "Now come on," he says through chattering teeth, "before we freeze into some fetching new shrine decorations ourselves."

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
