Ever nods, though perhaps not as decisively as he might have. There was always the chance of being wrong, after all. 'I'm not sure. I've never been around before..' He waggles the book slightly with a helpful smile. The boy's smile falters only slightly as the gingerbread cookie is offered, Ever able to mostly brandish thoughts of but I've just eaten! and I don't have anything for you in return! Being friends was hard on his anxiety, but he was finding that more and more being around Mateo was worth it.
Tilting his head with a boyish smile of alarm to hear Mateo curse, Ever quickly sucks in on his cheeks to hide his smile as if that might somehow give them away. "No, neither do I. And...I think we might get in trouble. I don't know that we're allowed...?"
Looking down at his notebook with growing stormclouds in his chest, Ever bites at his lip before glancing up at his friend. "What...do you think about it? You said your nonna can do magic? Does it make you sad she can't come here?"
