"Yes!" Mateo praises as Ever sounds it out, placing the baby lavender on the table between them (next to the aloe that he doesn't know he should be glad that Ever hasn't mauled). "I am glad you think so. I thought it worked for you, and for your parents too. I know your dad has trouble sleeping, and seeing that your ma is a doctor..." He shrugs - it makes sense to him. "I will get you a card with the care instructions too," he adds. He knows Ever likes documented instructions, and Mateo has Big Feelings about having his plants taken care of.
His feet feel itchy and he can feel something bubbling in the back of his throat that's similar to laughter as Ever describes the semi-living skyship (it's giddy excitement, but he doesn't know that yet). "That would be amazing," he breathes, his voice barely beyond a whisper. "You would need to plot your routes to make sure you didn't go too high where it might get cold. Or that you didn't get caught in any storms, because that might damage them or kill them." It's a big responsibility, plants.
"Maybe we should ask Frey. I need to see what else I need to do to make my skyship fly anyways. Once it works, at least you can learn to fly properly." He pauses, raising his eyes to the other boy. "Unless you wanted to get your own ship. Sorry, I didn't mean to assume I would be there too."
