MATEO
"Si," Mateo says with a sunny smile, because of course in his mind he is always smart about the choices he makes. (It might be the folly of youth right now, but of course this is a characteristic that will follow him into adulthood). Taking an almost relieved gulp of his drink and relaxing fully into his seat, the knowledge that his father - the one downstairs - has everything in order is very welcome indeed.
"Mm," comes the boy's emphatic agreement about being Ever's friend first and foremost, only for his eyebrows to disappear under his halo of curls as Remi adopts his Serious Dad tone. Swallowing hard and pushing his drink away so he can properly concentrate, he's visibly surprised that this is about his plants, of all things.
"Ah, yes!" he says, his accent thickening in his excitement. "I got this from our trip out at Hak Etme. And someone was selling a Gilded Lily in the Silk Houses. It is self contained in its own area, and I have never touched it with my bare hands." He sounds very proud of this fact. "With the lavender hybrid, it's a lot safer." If he says so himself.
