[ it's definitely a hammock. ]

Sure. Anything for you.

[transmit]

Don't turn me into a malevolent spirit, Thorns…

[oversea]

[ he lightly elbows him. ]

Let's go. You'll have to share a room though.

[transmit]

[ hmm. ]

I want to stay a secret a little while longer. Can I?

[oversea]

[ elysium...

well, there isn't really a reason to say no. ]

... Fine. Don't cause too much chaos.

[transmit]

[ thorns…

there is the urge to kiss him but to alleviate it he just presses their cheeks together. ]

Name one bad thing I've done.



—Besides accidentally causing that one guy pass out. I've stopped doing jumpscares…

[oversea]

He thinks he's cursed...

[ still. there is the faintest of amusement in his voice. ]

Just remember the ship isn't that big.

[transmit]

If you'd seen the repair job he was trying to do, you'd give him a scare, too. Why are these guys pretending to do what they can't for brownie points? You should probably look into it.

[ scolds. ]

I can do a lot of this for you. Useful, aren't I? Heheh.

[ SPYING!!!! ]

[oversea]

[ he thinks elysium is having a lot of fun with this... a sort of suspicious amount of fun, but thorns figures he'll likely get bored of it eventually, so there's no harm. ]

Be careful of what you spy on. If you get caught you might be punched.

[transmit]

[ he is… why is he having fun out of nowhere… crazy. there is something charming about watching thorns in his new natural habitat without the weight of an eventual farewell. ]

If I was going to get caught, don't you think it would've already happened by now?



There's a reason why I never go where the Señora does. Though, I suspect she's known as long as you have.

[ he doesn't think they can afford her pulling out another wheel ]

[oversea]

She trusts you enough to know that you're not endangering the ship.

[ the problem may be more for those who hadn't gotten close to elysium, but there is enough people who can put in a good word for him it should be fine... ]

[transmit]

It still feels dangerous testing my luck around her…

[ he isn't ready to fight for his life when his heart is still full of whimsy, okay… ]

So? You didn't just find me to offer me a bed, did you?

[oversea]

No.

[ he really was willing to see how long this would go before elysium cracked, but. ]

I thought you left.

[transmit]

[ never………

or at least until they docked, and elysium would want to tag along to whatever town or city that'd take them to. ]

I didn't say bye, did I?

[oversea]

... I suppose you didn't.

[ is he bad for assuming that elysium might have just ditched...? ]

[transmit]

[ yes. the worst. ]

Mhm. Are you going to head back to your cabin now? It's late.

[oversea]

I might just do a walk around.

[ ... ]

I can bring you food. And supplies.

[transmit]

I still have a good amount of the rations that were meant for my way back.

[ hmm. how to work this. ]

But if there's anything you need from me or want to give me, you can probably just leave it on your table and I'll get it eventually.

[ besides him, only nene would have the audacity to break into the captain's quarters… ]

[oversea]

...Okay.

[ he really is committing to a prank. but thorns has no reason to think this will last longer than a week at most. ]

But tell me when you get bored of it.

[transmit]

Mhm. If I plan on going anywhere, I'll let you know.

[ what is this… communication??????? ]

[oversea]

... Cool.

[ ?????? ]

I'm going to take a sweep of the ship. [ ... ] Where are you staying?

[transmit]

I didn't answer you the first time. What makes you think I'll answer the second?

[ taps thorns' forehead. ]

You'll have to figure that one out yourself.

[ like a minigame… find his body in ihop ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY. ANNOYING. ]

That won't be hard.

[transmit]

Uh huh. Then when you get lonely, you know where to go.

[ makes it even more annoying for him to. ]

[oversea]

Don't you mean when you do?

[ elysium is the one with only thorns to talk to... ]
