That’s…yeah, that sounds fine,” I say unconvincingly. “Walking is like, refreshing and stuff, right? People swear by it. Not me, but, you know…people. I’m sure walking for hours is gonna be great. My feet aren’t even gonna get sore. Nope. Definitely not. I’ll probably take up walking as a fun hobby after this.” The guys exchange a look. “Are you done?” Evert asks. “Yeah.” He turns and kneels down in front of me so that his back is facing me. “Hop on.”
