Everest
Bracing himself for this greeting, Everest's body tenses as he stiffens, breath lodged just below his throat. "Mmrrrppph-" He moans softly against his friend's tangle of curls, blinking away the wince distorting his features and trying not to huff out his breath too immediately as Mateo pulls away. "Ciao." The aviator returns with none of the language's musicality as he limps in Mateo's wake.
"I missed you too." Ever adds, and though the words are rather dry, the sentiment behind them is nevertheless genuine.
Trying to limp and sidestep around a bunch of naked men, Ever keeps his chin resolutely raised before falling to a halt by a bank of lockers. 'I brought you this.' He offers, stiffly holding out an expertly wrapped package. Sprigs of peppermint bark have been intertwined with ribbon, and should Mateo choose to open it, he'll find a lush olive-green scarf and matching pocket-square, as well as an assortment of seeds from the fae. They were nothing terribly uncommon, but Ever had hoped they would remind Mateo of the Greatwood and Vai.

If I told you that you'd do nothing with it
I'd still be that cigarette that you couldn't finish
