Consider it my portion of the rent.

[ !

the cashier wants nothing to do with this spat so they just stare at them blankly. what is their problem. ]

[oversea]

Huh? It's my ship. I decide that.

[ HE ISN'T CHARGING YOU RENT!!!!! ]

[transmit]

[ lmao

he ignores thorns and plops money on the counter. ]

[oversea]

[ he is going to k word you. ]

I'll make this even.

[transmit]

Why do you need to get even…?

[ THEY'RE JUST BITS AND BOBS ]

Pay for your lab equipment, already.

[oversea]

[ he just does!!!

but he will pay for his purchases grumpily... ]

Let's go.

[transmit]

Do you need help carrying anything?

[ his hands are already pretty full, but

asks anyway to be more annoying. ]

[oversea]

You're holding more things than I am. You'll drop it off.

[ he questions elysium's upper body strength. ]

[transmit]

This is nothing! Besides, I have more things to get. This was me showing restraint.

—You probably have more things to get too, right?

[oversea]

Yes...

[ he just looks at him before gesturing. ]

What else do you need?

[transmit]

Your vitamins.

[ thorns' vitamins, specifically!!!!!! the way he's just like fuck everyone else. they can get scurvy… ]

[oversea]

Your... vitamins?

[ as if he misheard what elysium said... ]

[transmit]

… My vitamins?

[ why does this concept sound so… foreign… tests it on his tongue and gingerly shakes his head. ]

[transmit]

Your vitamins.

[ reiterates more confidently and with a nod. ]

[oversea]

[ ... elysium is so. soooo. something.

thorns just sighs and keeps walking. ]

You need to take them.

[transmit]

Just because you don't take them without a reminder, it doesn't mean everyone else doesn't.

[ well

he is quite certain everyone else on the ship also does not care but they are not thorns and so elysium has a significantly less vested interest in them. he is interested by proxy.

but no elysium needs to stay beautiful so of course he does? thorns is crazy. ]

[oversea]

No one else does...

[ but they can go into a shop that sells health stuff... medicines and vitamin and all that...

thorns will browse for their infirmary... ]

[transmit]

You're captain. You should be setting a good example.

[



buys another few months worth of vitamins. there goes his wallet. he will have to ask rhodes to wire him more money. hmmm ]

[oversea]

[ OR LET THORNS BUY THINGS. ]

They make do with what we have. I want to see how far out to sea we can go before we have to head back.

[ he glances at elysium to see what he thinks of that. ]

[transmit]

[ hmmmmmmmmmm

nah ]

My hands are full as is looking after you. While you worry about everyone else, I can worry about you.

[ OKAY. ]

Sounds good? Sounds good!

[oversea]

You're going to make it sound like that's the reason you tagged along.

[ to be a babysitter... ]

[transmit]

[ has no reason to refute this, as thorns is not wrong……

he quicks his pace back to the ship. goodbye ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY.

he follows after. ]

What do you have bedding, anyway? Do you at least have a blanket?

[transmit]

Yeah!

[ JUST YEAH. ]

How has your adjustment period been? Anyone been giving you extra trouble?

[oversea]

I'm not sure if trouble is the right word for it... I do still need to prove to a few of them I can handle the job.

[ especially the pirates who were not on juana's side during the mutiny, since they didn't really get to experience thorns helping them as fully. ]
