Everest
Following behind Mateo in a straight line given that he's wearing weather-appropriate footwear and doesn't have to put on a ballet just to avoid the slush, Ever is deep in overthinking mode. "Oh..so there's nothing I can do?" He asks, blinking out of his own thoughts, disappointed to hear that he couldn't support his friend.
Chuckling at Mateo's disdain for all things faux-Italian, Ever nods and mentally clears away the to-do list he'd started for "Option: stay in", focusing solely now on the ways he might celebrate Mateo at the Bistro. "Oh no, you can go first. I've got a few calls to make." Those calls included having a Cadillac pick them up to take them to the Bistro, ensuring that the entire staff new Mateo's business was nominated for a prestigious award (and if they didn't care, he'd pay for them to), and calling the Italian tailor to see if he had anything new in that Mateo might be interested in.
