Mateo
"Ugh, yeah," Mateo says in quiet agreement, frowning gently out at the Skyport and the city beyond it. It's still upright for now, still everything it had always been for him growing up, and if he can just hold that image in his head, it feels like nothing will change. Childish, of course, but there's nothing like having one's childhood home plummeting out of the sky to take you back to your youth. "I promised myself I would not go back out there," he says. "I said goodbye to everything and everyone, got forwarding addresses for friends, and now i just have to finish this up and... well, and leave."
He glances across the deck and accepts the frozen banana treat, raising it in a toast towards Kai that's half gratitude (both for the dessert and the offer of help) and half melancholic camaraderie. "How are your folks getting on?" he asks, before following the other man's gaze to his belongings, teeth cracking through the chocolate to get to the frozen fruit beneath. "Ah, you say that, but all of my pillows are already belowdecks," he says with a musical laugh. "Most of the things I had to move were from the shop."
