Mateo
"I will be sure to let you know when the tide of your gifts begins to ebb," Mateo trills, leaving out that he'll tell Kai because Flora will probably gossip to him. It hardly needs said at this point anyway, he thinks. Shooting the other man a withering look at the nickname - Matty he has never been, though he's sure that won't stop Kai from using it in the future - it's a short-lived shadow in his expression at least; the companionable bump to his shoulder and the compliment (or rather, the insult to the Torchline florist) has a fresh smile dimpling his cheeks.
"Mm? Oh, apologies - they like to play in the morning," he says mildly at the sound if not the sight of Kaisel tripping over something writhing out of sight. "You are perfectly safe, though. I keep all of the more dangerous specimens out back." In his lab, but he doesn't say as much or call it that out loud very often. Besides, now that they have safely reached the hydrangeas, it appears that the flowers are the ones in danger as Kai grabs for an entire cluster of them.
"Smettila!" he snaps in the travelling tongue, voice lilting around the word and his hand reaching out to smack the back of his friend's. "You better not be grabbing my sister like that. We choose them. Carefully." So saying, he drops to one knee to gently tease through the blooms for a good selection.
