[ he catches thorns' words and considers them. it'd be incredibly easy to ignore them, but this is their golden end, isn't it? they should be allowed to get their chicken… elysium won't be an absentee father…

In 264 days non-inclusive of travel time— [ quietly! ] should we make one of our vacation destinations somewhere in Victoria?

[ side effects of being stupid…
two more hours of elevator music later, elysium's stomach is pumped. lucky for him, he's unconscious through the entirety of it, though it does bring them into the later hours of the evening. is thorns really going to sit with him this entire time? how much school have they skipped for this. help. ]

[ maybe they don't have classes for some of the days tears up
but thorns does sit with him the whole time, only leaving when the nurses asks him to step away for a moment or to use the restroom. when they finally okay him to leave, they just put him into a wheelchair and thorns starts to take him back to the car...
how did things turn out this way. also the way thorns got no medical care at all since elysium was too knocked out to make sure he got looked at. ]

[ watches as this is the closest they'll ever get to their talk. elysium truly believes there's nothing left to say when their old lives are far behind them. things like playing god belong to the past, don't they?
so he just smiles, trying to playfully rib at thorns. except the motion twists his body in a way it does not approve of, and he promptly keels over for a moment before forcing himself upright again. do not comment. ]

[ OKAY. that one pop team epic meme for when elysium gets up. or, when he no longer feels like ass as when he stirs, halfway through this car ride, it feels as if he's just been hit by a freight train.
he doesn't say a word when he shifts upright, but the creak of the car seat probably gives him away. he just wants to get his bearings… ]

I tripped.
[ he continues walking like nothing had happened. ]
We should find whoever's in charge of the municipality and ask if they want help with road repairs. That'll do it for employment.
[ it is uneven dirt road but it is not even that bad!!!!!! ]

[ his stomach feels unsettled. he has a bandage where they'd presumably taken out blood for a sample. he frowns, eyes drifting to the clock. ]
Have you been looking after me this entire time?
[ he's holding his answers hostage. well, yes. but he wants to hear it from thorns. ]

[ he thinks back on everything that's led them here as he unbuckles his seatbelt, leaning through the gap between the front seats. his hand finds thorns' chin. turning it just enough to expose his cheek, he steadies it to
press a quick kiss to his cheek. ]
Scoot over into passenger.
[ it is not a request. it is a demand. thorns has only the span of time it takes elysium to open his door and circle around to the driver's side to move. ]

[ have you heard about roland. he could be roland. tears up ]
Wouldn't I be? I could take people to heaven.
[ thorns should go above and beyond hanging him upside down and eviscerate him. never mind, HE WAS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT THIS UP TO BEGIN WITH?? ]

[ well.
it takes elysium opening the door to actually get thorns to move, because he spends the entire time rebooting his brain from the cheek kiss. he is trying very hard to think of a platonic reason that happened... people in his culture do kiss cheeks... this is normal...
once elysium is inside, thorns is just staring at him. ]
