So are you still alive? Or did Harry break you in half?
Kane
Alive. Sore. Can’t feel my legs, thanks for asking
Harry
That’s not a complaint, is it?
Kane
Maybe a little. Walking’s overrated anyway
Harry
Your body was begging for it
Breadstick
I can’t stop thinking about that mouth
Kane
You’re all trouble
GlowStick
And you loved every second of it. Admit it
Kane
I did
Harry
Good. Because next time we’re not stopping at the quarry
Breadstick
Next time we’ll make sure you’re screaming even louder
GlowStick
Hope you’re ready, Kane. Your pussy’s ours again soon
Kane
Then you better be ready to catch me
