Everest
What Mateo considers the best thing, Everest Hart, abstainer from danger and avoider of risks, considers the worst moment of his life.
With knuckles that are sore from clutching onto Remi's fur and a body that has used all of its energy from the tense flight, Ever slides off of the manticore, stumbles a few feet, and does his best not to throw up, pass out, or cry. Just as he thinks he might pee his pants, he looks over at his friend, all wild curls and blue eyes, realizing he can't understand a word of what he's saying. Or at least not all of it. "I..I think I'm having a stroke. F-A-S-T is how you remember..and...and speech is normally meant to be your speech, so..maybe it isn't a stroke. Maybe I've had too much oxygen to my brain. Or not enough?" Rambling, Ever starts to breathe in and out quickly—too quickly—as he tries to think of what disease has the symptom of sudden loss of ability to understand speech.
