Nice flex, but I don't fuck with all the vanity
Nibbling at the inside of his lip, Ever doesn't reply right away. Certainly, he doesn't want to contradict his Dad, but there seemed to be nuances that Finn wasn't aware of. Or, at least it seemed that way to Ever. "Well...she just seemed so excited about it. And if I pulled my hand away she would have thought I was being rude, and I didn't want to be rude, so it seemed easier to just..." Roughly, he shrugs his shoulders until they bunch up by his ears. "It seemed that my discomfort was less than the disappointment she would have felt if I would have pulled away." The emotional math was clear, only...
"Uhm, but...she sent me a present." Ever reveals, reaching into his coat pocket to pull out the delicate bracelet Paige had sent. Even in the overcast light, the coloured stones shimmered and gleamed fantastically in a way that made his mouth water and his stomach drop. "I don't know what to do." He concludes glumly, before glancing up at Finn as if his father might just know the best way to reciprocate such a gift.
