Kaisel
He absolutely leapt to the conclusion Mateo accuses him of, his grin racing out just as fast as his thoughts and Mateo's insistence. What starts as a sure, sure expression gradually fades to something more authentic as he hears his friend out, the listening only broken by the crack of the chocolate shell as he continues to whittle away the dessert. "I know what you mean," he says with a softer smile edging into one cheek.
His head tips back, glancing up at memories with a fondness that risks melancholy. "I feel like I would grow up every night I spent there. What'd take a year to learn in the city, I'd find out in an hour there." The exact reasons, he's certain, that his parents had never wanted him there, and exactly why it became so appealing to go. Some lessons had definitely been harder than others, but he doesn't regret learning any of them.
Resetting with another bite of frozen banana, happy to leave the reminiscing behind them lest his visit make them both worse for the wear, a new realization dawns on him suddenly. "Hey!" he cries out, stick waving as he gestures towards Mateo. "You could be the one to teach me to sail!" Talk of air control, something he hadn't even considered, sparking the recognition that Mateo is skilled in exactly what he needs and far more reliable than the ancient in the Grounds or the old man in Torchline. "I've been trying to be more useful on the Sugartide—did Flora tell you some baby starwhales almost broke it all?" His brows lift, hands demonstrating the ramming and destruction for added effect. "I mean, when you're settled, and only if you want," he shrugs, recognizing that maybe now is not the best time to plan it all out.
He absolutely loses his fight with his smile when Mateo suggests Flora has masterminded the fall of Stormbreak. "I would not put it past her to be that dramatic about you telling her no too many times. I hope this doesn't mean the house is also going to come crashing down when you move in and continue to say no to things," he laughs with a true ease he hasn't felt since Flora first wrote to him about Stormbreak's inevitable fate.
"Which, reminds me," he says, popping his treat into his mouth to free his hand for swinging his backpack around and rifling through it. The bottomless aspect does make it rather easy to lose things, and he's begun to stuff more and more inside it, so he has to drop down to the edge of his shoulder and really fumble around for the right shape. Grabbing hold of the glass orb, he withdraws it and presents it to Mateo. "I'm already working on her birthday gift. This," he nods to the crystal ball and pulls out the banana with a slurp. "Can hold memories and replay them later. So, I've been collecting memories from people that matter to her. If you wouldn't mind...think of your happiest memory of her, or with her, that way she can always see how much she's loved." For his sanity, he'll busy himself with the box as soon as Mateo begins.

You was talkin' shit in the beginning
Back when I was feelin' more forgivin'
I know it piss you off to see me winnin'
Back when I was feelin' more forgivin'
I know it piss you off to see me winnin'
Wearing a watery blue, faded and stretched-out sparkling hair tie on his left wrist
