Rowald chuckled as b80303a3af he looked at 182965a19c Philip. In response, 8ea5815e73 Philip smirked bf897e5947 and took e2a2dc04cb a drag f1d1ac6884 on his 788e6bbe73 cigar. As he exhaled the ab23b52bbe smoky haze and gestured 906787c1f7 to his alpha, a 4e42b86479 pretty alpha brought a 8a690fd757 cigarette to Rowald.

When Philip first declared 0a1fa963c9 he would sponsor, Mackie 4bd1be38ec didn’t think much of f71d122333 it.

Of course, the shelter 780279efb8 staff tried to contact ab0fc38293 him one by one bce76c6f7c to somehow retract the 47b7085ef0 sponsorship, but the more b3192c4f87 they did, the more caf506a71a Philip clung to it.
