MATEO
"I think maybe it's only complicated if we try to think about it too hard," Mateo says slowly, weaving from side to side on the bridge (as expected) and spreading his arms out to keep his balance and to watch out for any other sneaky vines. "But then maybe we just need to do more research. This is how science works, right? The more we know, the easier it will get!"
Gazing over his shoulder at his friend's offer, Mateo considers it before nodding to him. "Okay, that sounds like a good trade. I'll do all the kissing, you do all the vegetable eating." He feels like they should spit-handshake on it, but the last time he tried that he was worried Ever would never start breathing again.
And so, on their date-not-date, Mateo continues to lead the way into the unknown, with promises of further knowledge to come in the future.
