Later, when his heart has ceased its thundering, Ever will send Maeve an elaborate thank-you note and a gift basket. For right now though his instincts have fully taken over and no amount of adherence to etiquette is going to keep him still. So it as that as Maeve defends him (and saves his life), Ever runs and runs and runs until he's tucked himself under a few crates on one of the Skyboats.
Fire is not something that the jaguar, no matter how young and prideful, can beat. So it's with subsequent yowls of angry and painful protest that it tries to turn tail and run. Limping and bleeding, it makes its way back into the jungle where it will let its wounds heal in the shade. Later, should the Queen see a jaguar with silvery streaks of white fur in a fiery-splash pattern interspersed with the lines of her whip, she'll know just what caused those marks.
It was her, on the day she saved young Everest Hart's life.
