Not very. You can feed the Doctor.

That yeah didn't sound very confident.

What if you get sick again and explode? You gotta take care of yourself better…

[ okay!!!!

he leans over to give elysium a good morning kiss, and then he will go give food to their baby so that docybara will stop headbutting them. ]

Why am I exploding...?

[ how sick is elysium imagining him? ]

I'll be fine. You can't get sick twice.

[ the day thorns shows any kind of preferential treatment to anyone else—anything else—intentional or otherwise is going to be such a disaster.

but since thorns is taking care of docybara, elysium can make himself a lil useful by being the ones to feed them. for now, this arrangement is fine… he starts a fire.

You make things explode all the time. Isn't the natural progression you exploding next?

[ what is the logic in this ]

And… shouldn't it be 'we'?

[ shaking

well, it's fine. at least feeding the doctor isn't time consuming since he is a simple child, so it does not take too long for him to wander back to where elysium is. hi. ]

Why would you get sick? Aren't you dressing warmly?

[ he just turns this on elysium completely so that they do not have to talk about the possibility of thorns getting sick again.

elysium's condition is more important anyway, if he is so busy... ]

[ do you want elysium to explode. it's been a while since he's exploded. the powder keg just gets worse the longer it takes for it to happen.

but he immediately hands thorns a canteen of water like clockwork.

Hydration check! It'll take a few more minutes to heat up the soup.

[ does thorns think he'll just keep the hot potato like this. thorns. hello? ]

I'm just saying. If you get sick, I'll get sick.

[ and in case he needs a reminder: ]

You started this! I'm dressing plenty warm. The question's you.

[ elysium needs to come home for him to get sick... but thorns does not say this. in theory he will be here for their date.

imagine if they miss two dates because of illness. ]


So you're taking care of yourself?

[ it'll probably be fine, why would anything blow up? they have never had any drama ever in their lives.

he nods his head. then presses another kiss to his cheek. ]


How far do you think we'll get today?

[ he will be there for their date even if he has to drag himself feverish and snotty.

is this where a kdrama terminal illness plot happens.
]

I'm always taking care of myself. I've got plenty of people keeping an eye on me here, so don't worry about it.

[ well. only in the sense that he's there and present for meetings. but, anyway.

if there's anything else that's carried over from their childhood, it's that his parents aren't any less distant than they were before, a sharp contrast to thorns' gentler, even if not blood-related, family. thank you, thorns and family, for helping to cover up their chaebol son. no one would ever guess otherwise.

That's more contingent on the Doctor, isn't it?

[ he glances over to docybara happily munching on his breakfast… what a simple life. then, he turns to kiss thorns back. ]

What's the other doctor's prognosis? Or is he already all better?

Mm...

[ he does not sound like he entirely believes it, but he knows that elysium won't exactly allow for thorns to openly worry about him.

he tries to think of something elysium might answer. ]


What did you do today?

He seems to be doing better. He's moving around normally.

[ he glances over to where docybara is chowing down. ]

We can get as far as we can before lunch.

[ docybara's resilience is kind of incredible. he's been through so much and yet he continues to thrive…

he pulls the soup off the fire and starts blowing on it, while also waiting for it to cool. no burned tongues for his bbbb.
]

We can. Did you want to stop by another village, or go straight to the next town? I was thinking we could take our time in Yan, since we'll have to cross the outskirts of Ursus or Kazdel to get to where we want to go.

[ and, well. those locations speak for themselves. ]

Errands, mostly. [ this is not entirely a lie… ] That's how I found those slippers earlier.

You know what else I saw?

Doesn't it look comfortable?

[ thorns looks at this image.

It does.

We can probably just go straight to the next town. It's always a coin toss on reception to smaller villages.

[ they are either the friendliest people you will ever meet or they will hate you, there is no in between. and if they're only stopping by to rest, a large town will be easier to get through without anyone asking any questions. ]

It'll be easier to potentially restock on nay supplies as well.

Soup's ready. [ he takes his spoon and feeds thorns as if it's the most natural thing in the world—because it is. ] Need any more seasoning, or d'you think it's fine as is?

[ no, it's true. validating everything he says and does is a pretty great start at being a boyfriend except for when it isn't.

I have a special exemption if I manage to get higher than a certain scord on my exams.

[ so

he is expected not to be on campus anymore?
