the holy fool

ezra has been scolded one too many times for biting everett.  so, he has taken up pushing and hair pulling.  everett often will ignore ezra's antics. ev is the eternal darling of the reactionaries he calls his siblings. everett is unquestioning of his own station and perfectly untroubled by ezra's false sense of superiority or freedom. it is as if everett realizes that the king, the god, and the liberal are all false identities; no one is free. thus, why get upset.

but gum.  if you don't give him gum when he asks, then everett gets upset.
