Everest
Ever, who has been up for hours, merely glances at the clock and nods. It is closer to 'brunch' than to breakfast he supposes, not that someone like Ever has a good handle on what time constitutes brunch.
Dressed practically, Ever wears perfectly ordinary jeans and a black sweater. To this, he adds a scarf (bought for him by Mateo last Christmas and accompanied by a tale about how the florist received it as payment from a wandering spice merchant who had just come from the Himalayas and had no money), and a long wool jacket. Glancing up as his fingers work at the last of his buttons, Ever seems to freeze thoughtfully in place for a moment; digesting Mateo's appreciation seems to render the paramedic unable to move or emote.
'You're welcome.' He replies stiffly, his cheeks colouring slightly. "Is there an agreed upon time for when brunch begins and ends?" Ever wonders, open the door for Mateo whilst keeping an eye on Petunia incase she decided to make a break for it.

even if i had to lose you to know you,
i'd still be that temporary phase that you grow through
