"Ever's dad lives there," Mateo points out, directing his gaze to the ground and half heartedly raking around the trunk of the Mathair. He doesn't expect the decision to change now that Remi looks the way that he does - for the Taliesin boy, this is just a drawn out explanation of the no that has been pressed in place. "Besides, we do not know if it is the apartment that is haunted, or if one of them has a ghost following them."
Managing to shove the leaves into a pile, Mateo straightens up once more to look his father in the face, only to raise his eyebrows at the question. "You look scary," he says bluntly, as if it might have escaped Remi's notice. "And you pull up trees from the ground and snap them without even having to try. And you take baths in the Drop as a kraken." Okay, the jury's out on that last one. But it's probably true.
