Mateo
Huffing out a short sigh through his nose, Mateo's opinion of both face-to-face examinations and small, poorly ventilated rooms is made very apparent. "Well, that puts a snag on my idea," he complains, because of course the botanist would have simply cheated and completed Ever's exam himself had it been paper based. (As if the other man would have let him).
"I suppose if you are able to retake the test, we can prepare you for the sort of questions you might be asked," he says, offering a small smile to Ever. "We can study together, like we used to in the Collegium." As for the balloon, he lets it bob back up beside them now that it's clear that Ever has already seen it.
"I do not consider it a waste of time. Now it is just a Condolences instead of a Congratulations balloon. I will make sure to get you another when you do pass." Because he will; there's no doubt about that in Mateo's mind.
