a very eventful evening happens. followed by an equally eventful morning. as thorns is not present for any of it, he will just have to play detective if he chooses to. all he'll know when he wakes up is that elysium is not there, and for whatever reason there is a still steaming baked potato on his desk.

You've been taking my potatoes...?
[ as if elysium didn't just say people have been giving them to him. ]
no subject
It's not like I know where they come from. I just put them back in the kitchen.

And if you're so protective of them, shouldn't you be taking better care of them in the first place?

Have you brushed your teeth yet?

no subject
Did it look like I had the time to? I'll do it after I move this box back.
