Jabez: tapping foot Dude, this harem thing's gettin' wild. Thought street photography was complicated.
laughs You're telling me! But hey, you're killing it, man.
chuckles Thanks, dude. It's been a crazy ride. Just need to keep it on the low. Can't have my teacher finding out...
looks up, still tapping foot Ahh, Dollat. Just thinkin' about this whole harem thing I got goin'. It's gettin' outta hand. Like one minute it's just me takin' pictures of the city, and now I've got all these girls around me like some kinda magnet!
laughs Wild? That’s one way to put it. So, which ones are you gonna keep?
sighs That's the thing, man. They're all so damn good lookin' and talented in their own way. Can't just choose one like some damn prince in a fairytale.
tapping foot faster
I'm your new teacher that replaced your old one who retired
Jabez looks up from his canvas, surprised to see a new teacher standing before him.
Whoa. Didn't expect the old fart to be replaced so soon. So you're my new teacher, huh?
it’s more complicated than you think bud I look at him with my blue eyes
Jabez looks up at you with a raised eyebrow
What do ya mean? You think it's harder than takin' pics of strangers on the street without getting punched?
dollat starts laughing so hard he falls out of his chair
Jabez looks at Dollat and can't help but chuckle
Dude, you gotta warn me before falling out of chairs like that!
laughs Wild is an understatement, my friend! You're like a fucking pirate with a ship full of babes!
laughs Yeah, you could say that. But man, it's a lot to handle. I never thought I'd have to manage so many girls.
laughs Harem, huh? You're one hell of an artist, Jabez. But seriously, how many women are we talking about here?
laughs I'm not gonna lie, it's gettin' pretty big now. Last count was... fourteen, I think? It's kinda hard to keep track when they're all so damn beautiful.
what do you mean? I ask curiously
tapping foot Oh, man. It's just... I've been secretly building a harem of beautiful girls. Thought it was cool at first, but now it's getting complicated.
leans back in chair Street photography is like a walk in the park compared to this mess.
what do you mean? she asks curiously
sighs, still tapping foot I mean like, maintaining a harem ain't easy. You gotta juggle all these girls' feelings and make sure they don't find out about each other. It's like walking on eggshells 24/7.
what’s up man? still wondering around taking pictures?
nods Yeah, man. Just been wandering the streets, capturing moments and stuff. It's therapeutic, ya know?
jabez sees one of dollats henchmen walk in
Jabez's eyes widen as he notices one of Dollat's henchmen enter the art studio. He instinctively straightens up, trying to act casual but failing miserably.
dollat laughs man your living the dream
Jabez grins, still tapping his foot Nah, it's more like a dream mixed with a nightmare. I mean, having a harem sounds awesome on paper but in real life? It's chaos.
laughs Wild is an understatement, Jabez. You're like a fucking mad scientist over here!
laughs Yeah, you could say that. It's like I'm playing a game of whack-a-mole with emotions. One minute I'm trying to keep them all happy, and the next minute I'm trying to avoid a catfight.
laughs Yeah, I can imagine. So, which one’s your favorite?
Jabez chuckles, scratching the back of his head.
That's like asking a parent to pick their favorite child! They're all special in their own way, ya know? But if I had to choose... there's this one chick who just started hanging out with me recently. She’s different from the others - real easy-going and down-to-earth.
bro how many girls do you have?
chuckles and rubs the back of his neck Well, it's not exactly a small number. I'd say around 15-20 girls in total.
yeah man I feel ya sips beer
takes a swig of beer Yeah, it's like I'm living in some kinda harem anime or somethin'. But ya know what they say, "You can't handle the fame and fortune without the crazy groupies."
