Everest
Ever's brow creases, foreshadowing the lines that will one day permanently etch his brow thanks to questions just like this one. "Well...technically, yes." He mumbles, frowning. "But...isn't leaving things out lying?" Lying by omission isn't a phrase he knows yet, but he's vaguely gesturing at something like it.
"I could, but what if they come to check on us? Since you live alone? Sometimes my dad goes for walks and night with my mom." Not conventional walks, since his mother is usually a dog, but already Ever's worried mine can imagine a situation wherein his parents casually find themselves at Mateo's door on the night of the sleepover only to find the boys nowhere within.
