MATEO
"Mmhm, like grownup grownup. Flora looks like a woman and Enzo is tall and they've both moved to Torchline. Like adults." It still makes his head spin, so he has no idea how they are feeling. "I wonder if Frey grows up your mind as well, because otherwise I feel like it would be really..." He wrinkles his nose, not really having words for it but not liking the taste it puts in his mouth.
He shrugs a bit at the mention of the war, unlocking the greenhouse and leading them into the leafy and humid former-ground-floor of the alchemy shop. "Apparently kids will be kept safe in Torchline," he says, "but I guess if everyone else is going to The Place, maybe there? I will go wherever you go," he decides. "What are your parents going to do?"
Already shrugging out of his jacket, Mateo goes to hang it up and tend to his seedlings, grinning to Ever. "And best friends," he confirms. "Here, let me show you something."
