If there was anything that gave Evan a high dose of anxiety, it was constantly remembering that next year would be the first year for the girls without him there. He remembered being younger and the fear of not having Noah there anymore to look after him. Leaving the girls behind made him even more fearful, and he had a whole new appreciation for the eldest Nam sibling. He'd been leaving all three of them, and they'd all been much younger than Maya's 17 and Lisa's 16. How had they all gotten so old already? "I'll definitely be around. And... even on the water, I'll still have my mirrors." Letters... he wasn't sure how easily owls would find them while on the water, but... it wouldn't be impossible. Right?

Evan had to resist the urge to steal another bite when Jude's back turned to find the herbs, but somehow he was able to conjure the very little self restraint he had before the Hufflepuff came back over and added them in. That seemed a good reason to steal another, so using the fork he did just that - tasting again and giving a nod of approval. "Perfect." And even more so when the herbs had time to marinate and really add flavor. Hearing the request, he did some digging around - locating a pan and pulling it out and bringing over. "This one good?"
