the earth has music for those who listen
Barely remembering to skedaddle back and put his things in a locker - Mateo would normally hang them up on the floor permanently, but this is absolutely a place he can respect - the boy listens with rapt attention to Ever's explanations. "That's fascinating," he mumbles, and he means it, his head tilting up as if to try and find the places where the water might collect, where the ecosystem's lifecycle begins and ends.
"I want to see everything," he mumbles, grinning to Everest. "Let's go flowers first and around that way. I wonder whether they are able to keep it so that even perennials can bloom all year round. I don't see why not..." And on and on in this vein, both boys will make an entire afternoon of the greenhouse tour. And honestly? It's a memory Mateo will carry around with him for a long time after.
