[ he takes a bite and chews thoughtfully. ]
Distracting you from work, holding your attention… and receiving your love?
[ this does not make the scenario any better. in fact, it makes it worse. ]
I can be good at whatever you want me to be good at. I'm just that talented.

[ ah, his bragging... some things will forever just be annoying, no matter how obsessed you are. unfortunately, thorns just finds elysium being annoying a charm point now though. ]
... I realize a problem with this scenario. You can just hide things you're actually bad at.

[ busted.
and what do you mean, 'now'? they've been besties for so much longer before this? 🥹 ]
Only because my pirate captain fiancé is so talented and can make up for any of my shortcomings, if there are.
[ he steals a kiss. ]
Is that really a problem?

[ being besties doesn't make someone not annoying, it just means you are able to look past it...
also help, he is a pirate for this larp now. thorns kisses him back. he thinks this fantasy is turning into him getting played. ]
You're lucky you're cute.

[ being annoying is like 80% of his personality it makes you think…
they still have two fish left and he can't let it go cold, so he feeds thorns the next one. ]
Oh? So what would happen if I wasn't? Is this a confession that you're just keeping me around for my appearance?

[ this is why thorns triggers all his parental instincts. he gets up with a sigh and pulls thorns up by his arm.
with no additional context: ]
We have an hour to kill. C'mon.
[ the way he singled out what thorns made for him and failed to look through anything else
anyway ]

[ thorns refuses to feel bad about this bite because elysium is the one who put him in a headlock first.
but he realizes there is no point in arguing about this because that would be stupid, so he finally gives in and stands up. ]
Fine. Let's get your steps in.

[ thorns goes silent at this. it may seem like he has realized how stupid this conversation is, but in actuality it's much worse. he is in deep thought trying to recall any information he may know about the mating habits of slugs.
he doesn't know enough... ]
I'll make sure we're the happiest slugs.

I'll make sure we're the happiest slugs.
[ elysium also has sensibilities so he actually slips on a jacket before they leave. it's a little stifling, but he is not going to terrorise people with a human-shaped bite wound on his arm.
only thorns… ]
There's something I wanted to do but we didn't get the chance to the other day. It'll be relaxing, so don't mope.
[ knocks thorns' head.
but this is how they end up back on the boardwalk, but more towards the sea this time. 'walk,' he'd said, and yet he just takes his place on a bench and kicks back, the waters an endless expanse spread in front of them. thorns can take a seat next to him or be awkward; he doesn't sit in the middle of it like an asshole. ]

[ well, once he realizes this is where they're going he'll sit down.
he stares at the water ahead of them, not saying anything. he remembers their trips to the beach when they were younger and just how simpler things were then. at least, he thought they were simpler. he wonders what else he managed to miss. ]
... mm.

[ he's still resting, just in a different way. as the sun dips low and the sea breeze picks up, it feels like the perfect place to be and a welcome change from the stagnant air of their hotel room. without thinking, his arms stretch along the length of the bench, his hand coming to rest just shy of brushing thorns' shoulder. ]
Takes you back, doesn't it? If it's too boring for you, I don't mind if you look around more or run in a few circles until it's time to go.
[ assigns thorns as hyperactive child who can't stay still. ]
