“My right pinkie, I have stretched her 13 years,” Leeah said, but Monsieur Rousseau still looked mostly junglesick. Kevon peeped from behind the mangrove where he was hiding and gestured, “Sex it up!”“My flute, I alone have polished him, naked but for light of the Moon we call Snake,” perked Monsieur Rousseau right up. Kevon was choking back giggles, the bastard.
Leeah applied the flute to her twitching lips and began a two-note semi-mambo. Kevon managed to release their pet pythons on cue. As Monsieur Rousseau began sketching, mesmerized, Kevon slipped behind him and began to raid his rucksack.
