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. ]

[transmit]

Is there anything I can do to help? Spread some truths and rumours maybe?

Back in his old job, he used to be sent out on all sorts of missions all alone. Then, on missions where there were other people, if you didn't listen to him, he'd explode you on the spot. But there isn't anyone you'd rather be on a squad with, since he's ultra reliable and does it all!

[ he belatedly comes to a realisation. ]

Ooh. Those are all truths. Should I say you add that you eat people if they get you angry enough?

[oversea]

Thinking that I eat people is how I got into this mess in the first place...

[ he does not need the inquisition on his ass again. well they probably will be but at least piracy is a crime has actually committed. ]

[transmit]

… Right. Too soon. We can you make them sacrifices to the Destreza instead.

[ this is why he has to watch your ass and be your pr manager!!!!!! thorns!!!! ]

[oversea]

[ help. he just snorts in amusement. ]

How are you starting these rumors, anyway?

[transmit]

When they're drunk they're really susceptible to me going 'OooooOoooOooh if you don't start behaving you'll be shaved bald.' It's pretty fun.

[ OKAY

he has too much time on his hands. this is why he needs to pay rent. ]

[oversea]

[ there is a long pause. ]

How do you know this?
