Everest
"Yeah. Yeah." Unintentionally, Ever has just agreed to be Mateo's sober companion during his first (??) drug escapade. One day they'll look back on this moment and perhaps frown or laugh, knowing this is where it all began. 'Well of course.' He says of taking notes. What else would he be doing?
"Mmmm." Ever offers, his lips twitching slightly. "My parents used to do that. But now when they go to bed it's usually quiet. I can hear one of them getting up in the night to get snacks though, which is annoying because I'm not allowed to have snacks after 9."
Wondering what he'd inadvertently gotten himself into, Ever finds himself nodding agreeably despite the prickles of fear already blooming across his neck. "Yeah. There's no way there's a ghost. It's probably just the wind. Or a trapped animal." Or an ascended trapped in a box. Or Cian's maybe-dead-wife.
