[ he's worse than playground bullies because at least they stand their ground after they pull their crush's pigtails. elysium really just ran off. but the atmosphere is awkward… elysium contemplates it…
…
he demurely walks closer to thorns than he typically would. ]

[ thorns is so sure this is flirting but considering what their history is, absolutely nothing would be worse than asking if it is and elysium denying it. there would be no recovering from it.
...
[ he grabs elysium's wrist. he had been grabbing it often, so perhaps this is nothing. ]

[ elysium thinks there is only going up from here. he's training his pet thorns. ]
There should be leftovers from yesterday. That involves asking where they are and if we can use the kitchen, though…
[ the inconveniences of living off of someone's generosity…. ]
Do you want some granola? I have a few bars. [ it's the slightly unhealthy kind since he'd swiped them from the front and not military grade. ] We can worry about the rest later.
[ maybe he'll actually get to see thorns fish later? ]

That seems like more of a problem than it's worth.
[ thorns understands... but also it is kind of insane to just drink something that someone in a lab hands to you... safety 101 failed. ]
This probably happened because Dahut wasn't there when you were.

Granola works for now.
[ having to carry elysium all the way over to the kitchen sounds like a pain. not because thorns minds doing it, but because anyone who spots them will question why thorns is still carrying him around. "just go alone" absolutely not ]
How do you feel?

How do you feel?
[ scien could've been the next kitten… how was he supposed to know the extent of how psycho he was when people call thorns psycho all the time? ]
Can that guy do anything about him? He was bothering you, too…
[ instead they are now all monkeys in his circus ]

[ in the time it takes for thorns to go to the kitchen and get food alone a hole will open in the floor and eat elysium alive, it's true
but he will peel back the layer of one to feed thorns. 'we need to get [elysium] breakfast.' wrong. elysium needs to get thorns breakfast and he has and won. ]
I'll be fine to head out by afternoon. We could even go now, if you want. But I wanted to relax with you for a while since it's been so long.
[ sure ]

[ sure ]
He can't. He can only make sure you don't get actually poisoned like what happened to you.
[ elysium would have just became a play thing in a different way and still have gone home at the same exact time as before.
thorns sniffs. ]
This is what happens when you agree to be someone else's assistant.

It was the best way to get to know him. I don't know how else I was supposed to get an in with someone who doesn't leave his lab…
[ and now he's full of regret. scien will want constant reports on every aftereffect, samples of his blood to check if he's developed the right antibodies following the cure, and whatever else he was meant to get from this hellish experiment.
elysium sighs. ]
… You're more hung up on that than you're willing to admit, aren't you? But you won't even ask? C'mon. Tell me you want me as your exclusive assistant and that I was the best you ever had. [ with the same arm thorns has his hand on, he nudges him with his elbow. ] Look at how many guys are trying to poach me.
[ who knew working for someone else was cheating… the more you know… ]

[ don't say it like that.
thorns is quiet for a moment, still trying to decipher in his head if this is flirting or not. it's safer to say it isn't, but he just thinks back to missing all of elysium's previous sighs.
okay. ]
You're not allowed to be anyone else's lab assistant. This is proof no one else can look after you. [ ... ] In my department.

What am I, a lost child?
[ he says this, but internally, it feels as if he's going through cardiac arrest?
actually.
he rubs at his chest a little… this feels different from the previous times thorns has made his heart do somersaults…
… ]
Who do you think got me into doing all of this? Stupid. It was fun with you, so I thought it'd be fun helping others.

[ he is being clingy...
thorns awkwardly lets go of elysium's wrist and shoves his hands in his pockets so it feels like they are doing something. this is the worst. didn't elysium say he wanted space at the wedding? why is thorns ignoring that so immediately... ]
Oh. Yeah, you're right. You should ask Nehan if he needs any help.

[ NOT ANOTHER MAN WHO MAKES DRUGS he needs to be turned off of them for his diluc arc
but that is so far from the intended response elysium immediately knows he's being misunderstood. instead of opening the car doors like he should, he turns to thorns and grabs his wrist this time. ]
What? You've got the wrong idea. I meant that if you asked me to begin with, then—
[ oh. there's his chest again doing funny things.
it's a good thing the car is right there—he ends up collapsing right against it!!! fun!!!!!!!
exploding heart reliver tech real (just kidding) (maybe) (they need to band together to kill scien) ]

Elysium?
[ oh
thorns isn't sure what's going on, but considering elysium is already sick to begin with, this isn't good. it'll be too much trouble to drag him to the other side of the car, so thorns is just going to open the back door behind the driver's seat and pull elysium into that one. he buckles his seatbelt for him and hurries to the front to get in. ]
Hold on.
