"Mm, it seems like something I'd get in trouble for..." Mateo says this as if it's a line he has toed quite spectacularly in the past (because it is), the boy shifting to stand properly next to Ever, still munching on his gingerbread man. There is a twang against his conscience to see those trapped out there struggling, but they had just thrown a rock at him, and self-preservation wins out in the end. "Do you want to stay to see what happens?" he wonders.
Talk about his nonna Vai has Mateo brightening somewhat, and he shakes his head a bit down at his friend. "Nah, she says she prefers it like this. She thinks Stormbreak is full of people who are mente piccola," he explains. "But I still don't know if we should do anything about this. It's not really for us to decide - it's not like they didn't walk up here not knowing what this place is right?"
