Everest
"Oh, but—" A large monarch butterfly halts Mateo's hand and so Ever's argument dies on his tongue. Inhaling sharply, the paramedic looks down at the sign again as if it might have changed. "The sign says not to reach in, or touch. What if the oils from my hand harm it? Or if it's poisonous to touch?" It very likely wasn't; the sign was probably just the sort of thing that all exhibits had, so that tourists and children didn't reach in and pluck flowers and move about the dirt.
"Well, we've only just started." Ever replies, and whether or not it's meant to mean that there's more fun instore, or that their day could still go downhill, is yet to be seen.
"Can...will you help it? If I..." Reaching out a finger so that the monarch might cross the bridge from Mateo's hand to his, Ever nods toward the chrysalis knowing that his friend had very little concerns about rule-breaking.
