Nice flex, but I don't fuck with all the vanity
Slyly, Ever pokes his tongue out of his mouth as he glances over his shoulder at his father, fingers waggling. There isn't much mischief in the boy, but oh! wouldn't the volume of curiosities look so much better next to one of his father's grimoiries, if the Sr. was dropped from the author's name? Tempted as he is to swap the books, Ever doesn't.
Ever holds the ball clumsily in his hands. He might be a canine like his mother, but not enough life has passed for him yet to properly appreciate ball. "Well..we should finish cleaning first. But after? Maybe?" The boy's smile is as hopeful as it is slightly nervous. That he adores his father is evident enough, but that he also desperately wants his father to like him back is just as apparent. And we all know what an athlete Finn isn't.
"Dad...can I ask you something?" Turning away from the Spylgass and facing the books to hide the flush in his cheeks, Ever does his best to straighten and sound unbothered. "It's just something some of the kids have said at school. About...you know...where kids like Mateo live, and how his parents are in the Greatwood but how they're married, and.." Trailing off, he dusts and redusts the same book over and over and over again. "...I know you and Mom aren't married, and..I guess...uhm..but...you're going to stay together, right?"
