[ the world clearly didn’t consider that being stranded in the rain leaves them with little else to do but flirt just in a different place. having to move five or six steps, oh no…

elysium draws thorns against his chest, resting his chin atop his head.

If we find a nice lakeside to settle by… maybe? We could build a lab, a garden, even a coop. It'd be nice——having a place we could really call home together.

[ don't say coop, thorns is still trying to figure out how he can go and get his chicken back. he has not forgotten his child after they had to abandon so many other ones... ]

Do you have a particular place in mind?

[ if they want to stay in yan or go elsewhere... ]

I ran into people from the wedding. They were asking where you were.

[ as if they aren't allowed to not be together?

thorns does not volunteer the information of what they were talking about. ]

Not particularly… somewhere with a milder climate would make things easier for us, though. So I guess staying here could be an option.

[ their chicken that won't be born for another few years if they're sticking to the original timeline and conditions thorns please. they'll have to get a new chicken. it won't be as beloved as the first child, but its siblings will just have to live with that.

he thinks about how this just outright rules out iberia. fuck iberia

But we should stll see what other places have to offer first. Maybe there'll be one that feels right to you.

[ does thorns keep his phone muted, on vibrate, or with sound. they know thorns must have reconvened with elysium for some time now, so the group chat starts popping off with activity. ]

It is pretty odd to see you out… did you guys end up doing anything, then?

[ he starts to crawl out from under the sheets to eat with thorns…… companionship… ]

[ thorns has abandoned so many children he can't keep doing this bursts into tears

but yan is nice, it's true. he is unsure about the idea of staying somewhere forever, mostly because as much as elysium says all he needs is thorns to be happy, thorns would still like for him to have other things. he enjoyed traveling so thorns would like to make sure he still travels...

although they could go on long vacations, he supposes. hmmm. ]

I didn't hang out with them on purpose.

[ he needs it to be clear that thorns did not willingly do all of that.

his phone is on vibrate so it's vibrating like crazy right now. thorns is ignoring it. ]


We just walked. They bought things for you.

Do you say that about me when you're with other people, too? You don't have to say those things aloud…

it's also incredibly hard to ignore this so his attention naturally turns to thorns' phone.

Someone's popular. [ ] Like what?

So you could build a house? I can be additional labour.

We can take turns.

But I also want you to ask if I want dinner or a bath first—so I can pick the third option: you.

You don't sound that enthusiastic about it. When's the next time you'll have the chance to see them? Might as well.

Can't we do it in the bath?

[ thorns is not sure if he wants to place elysium in front of these people but he really has no argument against it that won't doxx what the topic was.

so he just slowly reaches for his phone to ask if they want dinner and unsurprisingly they all agree. ]


They said sure...

Tell them 6PM at the diner down the street. I was going to ask if you wanted to go, but the more the merrier. It has pretty good reviews on Y*lp.

[ with that settled, he starts rummaging through the bag… and, unsurprisingly, the bracelets are the first thing to catch his eye. ]

Did you make this?

[ dangles them in front of him. when does the friendship level up into alpha and omega bracelets. ]
