Just go.

[ he needs a break... before he dies.

thorns probably won't clean this place completely by the time elysium is back because half of it is going to be him going 'no i need this thing in this very specific spot for no real reason' ]

[ okay, well

he lingers in the doorway for a few seconds, visibly deliberating whether it's really all right to leave thorns even for half an hour. ultimate, he decides that's far too clingy, even if the other person is lonely. so, as he disappears through the doorway—

… You know how to reach me if you need me. I'll be quick!

[ thorns just waves him off...

and then as soon as elysium is gone, goes through a crisis where he wonders why is this happening to him. he settles on that elysium is joking and really will just return with only snacks and that lets him move... to stares at his mess... ]

elysium immediately props himself against the doorframe with his elbow. he isn't in a maid costume, but a sexy pirate outfit, chest bare and all… just looking at thorns.

then sneezes into his arm.

I don't know how you wear clothes like this and not freeze at sea.

[ this is somehow worse than the maid outfit. not because it's sexy but because thorns feels like he is being mocked.

he sets a box down. ]


You might just be extra sensitive to the cold. There's a blanket.

[ this is silly.

why is thorns' reaction so lukewarm…
]

I thought this would add more to the immersion than a maid outfit. No?

[ he ignores the comment about a blanket. ]

I can go get changed again.

No. You can... stay like that.

[ ...

he gets shy after saying that because he thinks elysium is hot. dies. but he'll gesture for him to come more fully inside. ]

[ as elysium enters the room, thorns can see that the back is backless… this is the most skin he has shown in his life. woah.

but how much work has thorns gotten done in 40mins. elysium looks around to see what is left.

[ he has put some stuff away... but there are still boxes that should not be in here.

thorns is trying to not stare at elysium's back but this is really really hard. ]

[ are the curtains up? the lights? thorns may never see this much out of him ever again, so he better get his staring in now…

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.

[ oh... he pokes through the bag. ]

I'm surprised you don't have a vision in your head already.

[ admittedly thorns does want to watch elysium move around in that... his back muscles. ]
