You reaaaaaaaally don't think I can pull it off?

well. later. something seems to occur to elysium, and he toddles over to thorns to take his hand, slipping a grocery bag over his wrist. ]
Since you've been working this whole time, you should take a break. You can supervise me and tell me if I'm moving something somewhere it shouldn't be.

[ like it's a duh. ]
Did you want to come with me?
[ for all intents and purposes, at this point in time it is still a joke. a joke perhaps taken too far, but a joke. ]

so thorns just shakes his head. ]
I feel like if I go with you, you're just going to spend more money.
no subject
You'd probably go for something short. Less to get in the way, right?

thorns really figured if this ever happened, the context would be a lot sexier than it is now. now he just wants to strangle elysium. ]
