Everest
"Ooohhh." Ever sighs, relieved, and not bothering to hide it. "Well...I know my mom was in school up until a few years ago. She still studies all the time." He adds with a boyish shrug, plopping some cheese into his mouth. "What do you think you want to do then? Other than grow plants." This latter portion was said rather matter of factly, as if already knowing that botany was necessarily part of his friend's future.
Not taking Mateo's words as a slight, Ever just shrugs again and notches his feet beneath his chair. "Well you're still you. Just like...a different kind of you." Frowning at how poorly phrased this was coming out, the boy falls silent as he chews on his cheese. "Are you ever worried that...since you're an accepted, the Voice will get you?" He asks timidly, blue eyes peering out from behind thick lashes. As an attuned he was more or less safe from such things. The worse that could happen to him now was being cursed, and so long as he stayed away from the gods like his dad often did, he didn't think he could do much to earn their wrath.
