Besides, Everest might be pleasantly surprised to discover that the Taliesin skyboat is entirely up to standard, given that they only had blueprints to follow and little to no previous knowledge of the construction.
Glancing over his shoulder as Ever makes conversation in a way that Mateo considers almost outgoing (but then such is the way when talking about something that interests him), he flashes him a dimpled smile. "You will have revolutionised the way skyboats are piloted before we even graduate from the Collegium," he says, sounding very proud indeed.
He knows what Ever means but he's smart enough to get the message, turning to offer him out his cocoa. "I think it's a really good idea," he says softly. "And I think you'll do really well."
