Everest
'Oh..I...I think I can understand that." Actually, it resonated rather well with Everest. When he was only allowed to go around Stormbreak, his life had just been school, home, and wandering the Celestine with Mateo. But now? Now there was Torchline, and the Skyboats and all his trips to the Greatwood. Now there was so much, and so...yeah, he could understand how small could be nice.
"Oh yeah? How do you know? Did you quiz them on everything and then grade it?" Ever wants to know, sounding genuinely curious. The not being nice part was...well, a bit true, he supposed. Cian certainly didn't seem very nice, but then again, that didn't have anything to do with how much they did or didn't know.
Did it?
"N..no you can't!" Ever protests, frowning deeply, before Sam says something that rattles the boy to his core. "No!' He says, shaking his head hard enough to make his curls dance on his head. "The Voice is bad. She started a war. Rae and Vi and Mort made us all, but then she decided to make...all of you and that isn't okay. You can't even taste food or be in the sun! My parents can do both of those things!"
