EVEREST
"Use?" The aviator's brows flinch together for a moment as he looks at Isla, puzzling out her meaning. For all the leaps and bounds he's made, there are still parts of the world that he's simply too naive to immediately grasp. "No, I don't think so." As for complications, he exhales and nods. "Emotional ones, you mean? I have heard that. Mateo says that there are many he enjoys having sex with but who have gotten attached even if they had promised not to." Shrugging if only to communicate his complete ignorance on the subject, he continues to trudge back toward the clinic.
"Well, I know in theory how it works, but...well, take kissing for example. I knew how that worked too, until someone kissed me and I realized how little I did know. Some of it I'm sure will come with experience, but until I have muscle memory to rely on, I'm not sure academic is such a bad thing to be." It's all very matter-of-factly said, as if Ever was saying he was thinking of taking up painting and had been studying for it where Isla was saying he just needed to go out and do it.
"Mateo has also said women can be more difficult to please." Though his cheeks should have been pink with shame for asking such a thing, the colouring on Ever's skin was merely sunkissed instead of ashamed. "Do you think that's true?" Isla was a woman, after all.
