<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, it''s time for me to make dinner.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes!" Michael and the others cheered. But that caused the man to shake his head, "Hmm, what should I make?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, can we have sausage? It''s the perfect thing for camping!" Carolyn asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, I could go with that." Actually, there was something he wanted to try now that she brought up sausage. He quickly took out some potatoes and cut them up. Onions and some carrots were diced as well. Afterward, sauces and spices were topped. That was when he folded it up in a metal sheet and ced it near the fire.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s all you''re going to do?!" Michael blinked. This was pretty low work, given the kid''s track record. But the boy grinned, "Of course. And there are times when things like this are much more delicious."
<span style="font-weight:400">Slowly, the aroma from the wrapped food waffled in the air.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It should be done." Unwrapping the sheet, they saw a delicious potato and sausage mixture.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Be careful, it''s hot," Keith warned the two kids as they were ready to pounce.
<span style="font-weight:400">"What kind of meat is this?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of that''s something I make with a smoker. Should I ask Orin to make one?" He didn''t have a smoker in the estate.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will make him make one!" Michael was a fan of that meat. And the other kids were the same. After they had finished their meal, Keith decided, "Me, Leon, and Laura are going to be in one tent while you three are in the other." It was time for them to go to bed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s fine with us," This was normal. As Keith set up his tent, "I want to sleep with Big Sister May." The person who said this was none other than Laura.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then you can sleep in their tent," It didn''t matter where the two slept; they were small enough to fit into any tent.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want to sleep with Big Brother," Laura added.
<span style="font-weight:400">"…Um, Laura, I don''t think that will work." However, the little angel wasn''t budging at all. It was a surprise since she had always been quite amicable during these times.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"I think it''s fine if we all sleep together."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What? We''ve already done it before; there''s no need to worry about it so much," Carolyn scoffed. They already slept with one another in that tent. Three more people wouldn''t kill them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." That silence meant yes.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yay!" Leon and Laura waved their hands.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, you two need to brush your teeth first." It was time for them to freshen up. The two kids quickly nodded as they started to brush their teeth. While that happened, Keith could only sigh. That was when he noticed the grin on everyone''s face.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing, you gigolo," Michael grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"How am I a gigolo?" Keith''s eyes turned dark. Did you see me flirting with them?
<span style="font-weight:400">"You just are," Carolyn said it this time. The knights followed with a nod. When that happened, May couldn''t process what was going on. I''m going to be sleeping with the young master? This had never happened once Keith had be 10.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn and Krystal had already changed into their pajamas. But as they did so,
<span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter, Princesses?" May noticed it. The two girls were staring at her.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Nothing, I just feel inferior in everything." "..." Carolyn looked down while Krystal said nothing and continued to stare. But that caused May to shake her head, "The two of you will grow after some time," They were still young.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re young yourself!" Carolyn and Krystal added.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Big brother!" While that happened, the two little angels quickly jumped on top of him. Keith grinned as he held onto them tightly. "Aww, you two are so adorable." The two of them were dressed in cute pajamas. But,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">It could be cuter. That was something that he knew for sure. As he was wondering, the three girls entered. That was when you saw the beauties; it was quite ethereal and lovely.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You guys look incredible."
<span style="font-weight:400">"You should look at May," Carolyn grinned as May entered the tent.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith blinked, but that was when Krystal smacked him on the shoulder!
<span style="font-weight:400">"You look really good, May."
<span style="font-weight:400">"...Thank you,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." "..."
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn and Krystal looked at one another. Are they side-characters?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Big Brother, read me a story!" Laura then took out a book. She came prepared.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, I can read it," Keith grinned as he started to read. As he did, the other girls watched him. He was so absorbed in the story as he narrated. As the story was going to end, Keith noticed how the two were asleep. A grin formed as he pulled the nket up.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re an amazing big brother," Krystal muttered. Anyone could tell how much love he had for the two.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you," That was something that he was going to take his pride in.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I think my reading skills are great because I have practice with this girl," Keith added as he pointed at Carolyn.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey! I can sleep alone."
<span style="font-weight:400">"You asked me to always read you a book before bed."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Carolyn pouted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The two always sleep fast with you here, Young Master." This was a fact. The two would make her read more than two stories before they tucker out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you for always taking care of them in my ce," With Keith not being there, May was with them. Leon and Laura didn''t have a designated maid. Instead, it was May who watched over them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fun watching over them," May grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, now it''s our turn to go to bed."
