Everest
A houseplant. Something to remind you of me. Ever wasn't the sort of boy to melt, but the way his shoulders sagged with appreciation was certainly his version of collapsing against Mateo. "That is the best gift." He whispers, nearly awestruck and overcome with sudden emotion that has his fingers fidgeting in his lap. 'Oh! Absolutely we can. I think you'll really like them. Everything is nicely ordered." That won't be the part that Mateo appreciates the most of course, but it will make it easier for the pair to find the particularly deadly things that Mateo will enjoy.
'Mmmhmmm." Ever all but huffs, nodding seriously. 'Yes please.' And then, in a low voice, he adds: "I hate it here."
