[ look maybe he just needs to attain enlightenment. he just needs the right bald head to rub, and that could be thorns. he loses all his hair due to natural disasters and he just has to deal… ]
That's a low bar to clear. I don't think we can get more impromptu than that even if we tried. Though… we did have time to get back to our hotel, I guess.
[ imagine if they left this insant. ]
Anyway, if we start now, we can make jerky.

[ technically they only had enough time to go back because everyone was so confused about what had just happened that their reaction time was delayed. clearly the trick to running away is simply act so crazy that no one knows what's going on.
thorns nods. ]
Mm. Want to head to the forest?
[ they can flirt amongst the trees 🫣 ]

[ oh…
there is the realisation that thorns is here much earlier than he would be…
he takes a moment to consider their options then tugs thorns along. people are whispering wondering if they're dating…?? elysium does too much on campus. ]
I'll take you to one of my favourite places. C'mon.

[ everyone should've suspected something was up when elysium just resigned out of nowhere. love is love, but can it really change someone so drastically? as it turns out, the phase did not turn out to be a phase and ended up blowing up so much more dramatically than that. ]
Yeah. You can show me what you're made of.
[ in every… way… who needs caffeine when you can flirt…!! ]

[ they're so annoying
but they can head out then. villagers who are going about their business wave at them and greet them. they are so part of the town now and they will surely be shocked when the two of them just run off on their own.
still, if they can run off on people like mantra, thorns' crew, and the doctor, who can't they? ]

[ how do you mind your own business in business
everyone has to network… ]
No. It'll be somewhere you can rest.
[ away from prying eyes! they end up at a quiet spot behind the business building, where the trees cast long, dappled shadows and the hum of campus fades into a distant murmur.
a bench sits half-hidden beneath an overhang of ivy; it's peaceful, private, and perfect for disappearing from the world awhile. ]
… No one here really wants to get their clothes dirtied by overgrowth. But I don't think it's that bad? Here.
[ he sits first and pats his lap. lap pillow… ]

[ they would do this on your day.
at least they're saying goodbye. if elysium had his way, there wouldn't be a farewell at all, far more motivated by the idea of round two of their excuse of an elopement than by hiding his condition, but it is what it is.
the week turns over, and he spends the morning draped over thorns like always, like they aren't about to break the hearts of an entire village of elderly. ]
All packed up and ready to go?

[ thorns just stares at him, trying to figure out if this is appropriate or not before finally falling on the conclusion that they are dating? this should be normal? they literally snuggled nonstop when they were both sick but that was different...
he finally gets on the bench. it takes another few seconds for him to lower his head onto elysium's lap. this is an interesting view. ]
Is this fine?

[ it really is difficult to be all-in on the idea of dying together when you are still doing whatever you can to prolong the other's life. surely that won't cause trouble ever.
thorns doesn't answer at first, and it can be mistaken that he's asleep. but he eventually mumbles, ]
Uh huh...

[ one of them will die a terrible, wretched death—and because of everything they've already endured, they'll have finally learned to accept it. (real.)
but elysium is just thinking about the proposal, wedding, and honeymoon—they have plenty of time to go through all of them, so he's simply not thinking about anything at all, fingers brushing softly against thorns' cheek. ]
Want an extra few minutes?

Want an extra few minutes?
No, we should get up...
[ he says, not getting up. but it's difficult to know when will be the next time they'll get to sleep on a bed, so he does want to soak this in... the feeling of being able to comfortably snuggle with his fiancé. ]
I would rather be gone before too many people wake up.

I thought you wanted to leave on amicable terms with everyone?
[ if thorns isn't in any rush to get up, elysium doesn't see why he should be. rather, he makes it actively harder for thorns to, hooking a leg around his to keep him pressed close. ]
There are people who'll be hurt if you don't say anything.
[ the guard is one thing, but the settlement is small enough that saying a quick bye to the majority is realistic within an afternoon… ]

Well, there's people we'll see since they're up.
[ mainly the ones who run their own business, since they need to be awake to start their day. but thorns doesn't want to be around when literally everyone is up and about. after all, his reasoning for even wanting to say goodbye is more strategic than sentimental. they can just say they tried to wait but really needed to head out before they lost more daylight.
well. elysium will need to. thorns still isn't the most convincing liar. ]

[ okay but has thorns considered that elysium has made himself comfortable.
thorns has said all of this, but elysium's response is still just nestling closer to him, leaving smooches wherever there might be exposed skin.
this is their last morning in a bed for the forseeable future… they can give themselves this… ]

[ they are so annoying. of course thorns isn't going to make him move when he looks so cute and comfy?
honestly, their luck has been so good? they really haven't been in an actual dangerous situation since higashi; the skill difference between them and the thieves who attacked the town was vast enough they really only needed one of them handling it, and now they are also productive members of society?
perhaps... they have beaten their curse? ]
You can go back to sleep.
