Everest
'What? No! Of course not. You're one of the goodest people that I know." Ever bleats, and technically it's true, if only because he doesn't know very many people. "Mateo, you're really, really, not bad." He adds, turning to his friend and nearly reaching out to give him a reassuring pat? punch? on the shoulder. Instead, his hand gets about halfway there before Ever notices it has moved and has time to call it back.
'Oh.' The boy says for the millionth time this afternoon, watching with horrified eyes as his friend begins to pack up. "But..the seeds, and.." Panicking now and assuming that it was absolutely something he'd done or said that was sending Mateo off, Ever feels his cheeks grow crimson as he shakes his head. "..I'm really sorry I even mentioned the gods. I never want to see them ever, not even once. Even Frey and Rae are stupid."
