Julian's gaze lingered on the flames for a moment before speaking, his voice steady and low. "We need to be cautious. We can't walk into that nest without proper preparation."
Kevin nodded, brushing his white bangs back from his eyes. "Relax, I get it. I'm not rushing into a suicide mission either. "
"Actually… I need to meet someone first. He's supposed to rendezvous with us tomorrow morning. Once he's here, we'll have the full picture."
Julian nodded once, accepting the plan.
A pause hung between them, the crackling fire filling the silence. Then Kevin leaned in slightly, curiosity dancing in his blue eyes. "Hey… can I ask something kind of personal?"
Julian raised an eyebrow. "Go ahead."
Kevin tilted his head, almost childlike in tone. "Are you… in a relationship with all six of those girls?"
Julian turned his head slowly, meeting Kevin's eyes directly. The question was blunt, too blunt, but not malicious. Just genuine curiosity.
