Joshua explains and Peter raises a brow, blinking.

"Maybe she kidnapped her because she looks innocent?"

And Joshua gave Peter a stare, dismissively shaking his head and was aware of Dash watching him the entire time.

"Pete, nothing about Alessa is innocent."

Joshua says and Christina placed a hand on Peter's shoulder once noticing Kyle's face turns a bright red and walks over.

"Damn... I thought I was going to be her first."

He mumbled and Joshua's eyes widen at the unexpected and somehow inappropriate response before smacking Kyle's shoulder.

"Kyle. Not now."

"Peter, you should really cover your innocent ears."

Christina says and Peter nods, placing his hands over his ears with an innocent expression on his face.

"Maybe they should've taken Peter, I mean, he's a virgin, right?"

Joshua finds himself saying and Peter unblocked his ears, face red.

"H-Hey! I'm not... Well, I'm a virgin, actually..."

He mumbled and looks away, Dash watching them with a red face as Christina walks over and sighed.

"I'm sorry you had to see this."

"It's fine. I've seen and heard worse."

"It... It will get worse, trust me."

Joshua hears Christina mutter to him before he blinks at Peter.

"Here's a question, why young virgin women? What about young virgin men?"

He questions and Dash looked away, arms folded.

"This would sound weird, but I think they remind her of my dad."

Marlene appeared to make a gagging sound as she was busy stuffing her face with donuts, and Peter turns to look at her.

"Are you going to throw up because of the donuts and their goodness, or that Firis doesn't want to capture any young virgin men because they straight up remind her of Dash's dad?"

Marlene gave him a steely stare, slowly munching on another donut.

"...Both."

"Well that's good to know, Mar please stop stuffing yourself, and Dash, your mom is already more disgusting than as is."

Peter says with his hands on his hip and Dash shrugged once again, expression is blank—it appeared that he had no emotional attachment to his mother's desire for revenge and power.

"So, I can go to Mid-Nowhere, right?"

Joshua found himself speaking up in order to try and move their plan forward. I mean, he was fine with the occasional banter but it was Alessa, his sister, and her life in stake and he didn't want bring her back home dead.
