Everest
'DO YOU?' Ever wonders back immediately, his own thoughts on the matter seeming entirely irrelevant. If Mateo did, then they'd go. If it was left to Ever, the pair would never do much of anything, save for make rubbings of leaves and flowers and eat meticulously planned lunches.
While it doesn't occur to Mateo that they might be heading toward the Grounds, it likewise doesn't occur to Ever that they might not be heading towards anything at all, but instead running from something. His instincts should have been a trifle better than they were, but given how tightly bound the boy kept his emotions, it perhaps wasn't too surprising that whatever canine intuitions he had about the subject, were summarily ignored.
