Everest
Ever, who rarely sees his parents do more than touch each other's shoulders in the kitchen (and that's mostly just to navigate their way around), turns bright red not only to see Remi and Ronin k-i-s-s-i-n-g, but to hear Mateo scolding them.
"Honestly, you and logs these days." The boy says with a small shake of his head. After all the log-moving on the beach Ever would be happy never to see another bit of wood in his life, canine shift or not. Despite the aforementioned paws, Ever accepts a pair of gloves from Mateo, not wanting to get dirty. So it is that the boy begins to (very slowly) weed the path with varying levels of success: if success is measured in not getting filthy, he's doing a great job. If it's measured in actually having pulled out his fair share of weeds, well...then less successful.
