Mateo
who are these people?
I just woke up in my underwear

It's such a seamless switch that Mateo starts to doubt that Ever really did take any medicine, and he's about to applaud his friend for growing such a strange and delightful sense of humour. But of course then the phonecall ends and it's back to chaos, and the florist snorts out a laugh without being able to help it. "Oh, stai zitto! We are all just bags of blood!" he snaps to the cab driver, putting Ever's phone back in his own pocket (he's not going to try and feel up the paramedic a second time) and trying to deal with the blood.
It's nothing horrifying, he concludes, just a bit startling, and it can probably wait until they are home. Which is where Mateo gets them in short order, managing to toss their belongings into the hallway before fetching Everest, just so the cabbie can scream off down the street in the downpour. "Yeah, well, I didn't give you a tip!" Mateo yells after him, ducking under Ever's good arm so they can get upstairs.
"Okay, we are going to get you into some dry clothes, and you can lay on the sofa while I get everything else sorted out. Deal?"
