there was no where for me to stay, but I stayed anyway
That Tobi confirmed this dark canine was not his father—something he already knew of course—Everest settles slightly. As the adults talk, Ever turns his mind to other things. He's learned already that there are certain conversations that take place which Aren't Meant For Him. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish which, but right now it seems pretty clear given the way they're looking at each other and not him. So, snapping his teeth at a butterfly, Ever bumbles a few steps before taking another tumble.
Not immediately understanding that pup is meant to refer to him, it's only after a mental nudge from Tobi that the youngster looks up. Blinking his large dark eyes, he cocks his head to the side which has his comically big ears flopping. I'm Everest Hart. Named after a mountain on Earth, which is a place in a whole other world. And Hart because that's my mother's last name, and since she and dad aren't married and because they don't believe in those sorts of things, I was just given her last name. Ever over-answers.
Watching as Sunjata's head lowers and his hips rise, Ever feels a strange compulsion to do the same. His feet carry him forward, and without even really thinking about it, he hazards a nip towards one of Sunjata's paws before trying to instantly dart away.
