"It is cool." Ever agrees, though not in the same way Teo means it. "I am named after a mountain in one of the Outlander worlds. It reaches so high into the sky that it's always covered by snow, so it is very cool." Cold is the better word, but he'll let it slide in an attempt to be conversational.
"You're welcome. I haven't even started yet. I find it..." Not confusing necessarily, just...jumbled. Like he had all the pieces in his mind, but they'd all been put into a box that kept being shook around just when he was starting to piece it all back together.
Looking over someone's shoulder is rude, but it's probably more rude to pull away at this point. So, allowing this invasion of privacy, Ever holds the book flat on his lap. "Well, I was wondering if humans were like other animals. You know how when you watch animals in the Celestine—" He says this as if everyone past their time this way. "—and you can...understand what they're going to do next, if you watch them long enough?" Pointing to the pages, Ever taps a skeptical finger against a tally in one corner.
"I don't think people are like that, though." Hence the research.
