Everest
While other’s might have likened Mateo’s appearance to some sort of crocodile, Everest instead thought of him like a painting. He was both a realist mess of curls and blue eyes beneath long lashes, while at the same time being a hazy approximation of a man beneath the water. Both uncomfortable and intrigued, the aviator swallowed hard as he knit his fingers together against his stomach.
“No.” Everest agrees, and though he notes the way Mateo’s eyes have shifted over his shoulder, he does nothing about it. “I think in another year or so. I have completed everything that is required of me to get my full license, but the others..” Tilting his head to the side, Ever sighs. “They say I’m not ready, but won’t give me concrete reasons why.” In fact, those reasons were things like He’s weird, and I think he’d fly a ship into the side of a mountain if someone told him to.
“If I worked for you, I suppose you could offer delivery to all regions of Caido, instead of just Stormbreak. And with your terrarium…” And so the afternoon was spent in lazy conversation about Everest becoming Mateo’s employee, including what duties would be expected of him, and what, if any, benefits the Botanist would provide.

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