Everest
Ever did know the word, but as Sam explains, the boy just nods patiently. He thinks Sam looks a bit like a child's drawing that someone has forced life into; too blue eyes, too much red facial hair, too pale and tall. 'Simpler like...when the barrier was up?' He asks, hesitant but curious.
'I think the Order knows.' He says, torn between being appropriately hateful of the ascended and his need to always be polite and informative. Ever might have walked the line a little longer, had Sam not made reference to his family. To becoming an ascended (that's how he interpreted the man's kindness, anyway). 'What? N-no! I mean, yes. I have a family. A perfect one, even if my mom and dad aren't married, and—" Well, it was probably false to say that he didn't need help, because he was just a child and so he would need help in certain matters, but he didn't need to tell Sam that.
Scrambling to his feet with his notebook against his chest, Ever points adamantly at the ground. 'Y-you can't cross this line." He says of where the magical barrier is meant to be. Only..it isn't, as the Greatwood hadn't finished their quest yet.
