We're not even in a relationship...
[ he will just say it.
thorns settles back into the seat, pulling his feet onto it so he can peer at elysium. he is not sure where to go from here. they're both still sick and they're on the side of some random street, and it's some ungodly hour at night. what are they doing. ]
So.

So.
[ oh. this story has such a happy ending. elysium pulls thorns aside to hug him to his chest. they are stupid but he is happy… he sways them side to side. ]
I don't think anyone else should have pictures of you, either. Let's keep to ourselves and work hard. That's all we need to do.

A friendship is a relationship, too…
[ ha
haha.
this, too, is sc*en's fault. he would go back to plotting his demise as a means of stabilisation, but there's something more important than that for once. he laughs, a little shrill. ]
But we can always be in one. If you want. That kind of so?

[ they are so silly...
but they can buy some lumber and nails, and then get recommended a person they can borrow tools from. there is an older gentleman who does a lot of repairs but he hurt his back recently, so he'd easily let them borrow items if they help him out a bit.
it gives them another in.... ]

[ this is so deeply embarrassing he's going to die.
thorns tries to think of a response that is intelligent? and makes sense? but instead he just manages to spit out, ]
You don't want to keep dating other people?
[ wasn't the last two attempts so much fun...,,,, ]

[ all that's left is for them to be given dilapidated property and asked to restore it. grow some crops while they're at it? this is already going so well for their first stop.
they never make it to the farm because the gentleman asks if they have anything else planned for the day. they dont. he has unfinished projects in his workshop for them to take a look at—if they're feasible, great! if not, it's fine and he's happy to provide instruction.
it's been a while since he's had apprentices… he starts going off into storytime…
he seems happier the less they know. he's lonely and wants the companionship, it seems. elysium just defers the judgement to thorns? does he still have a squishy heart. ]

[ the forced distance of the car is honestly doing wonders for them. on one hand, thorns feels frustratingly far away; on the other, what would he even do with himself if he were closer? the answer is obvious! nothing good.
here's where he'd admit the reasons for his serial dating if it weren't so goddamn embarrassing. time to gloss over it. ]
Not really…
[ alhaitham has been taken care of… the other guy, meanwhile… ]
We don't have to date right now if you aren't ready. But I'm still taking this as permission going forward. Are you fine with that?
[ what permission. ]

[ thorns just nods his head along.
he does still have a squishy heart, but the difference is that he is willing to cut its tendrils and leave if anything inconveniences his relationship with elysium. after giving up his ship, he can now really give up anything. ]
We can help out.
[ they need to save up so much money..... ]

[ the difference is that it can be lawful flirting now. wow. even if he can't figure what exactly that is, yet… truly like what he hasn't been flirting all day.
also, do they really have to do this? have this conversation in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night? ]
You seemed like you were getting kind of jealous of the people I was seeing…
[ … ]
We avoid our problems in a similar way.

[ i wrote a long ass tag but then i forgot to press send before i lost it TEARS UP
once upon a time, elysium would've dragged thorns into helping without even asking for permission. regardless, it turns out to be a greatly beneficial—not only do they make the guy's day as he proceeds to teach them how to repair chairs with bad legs, they score a free lunch and access to his workshop if they really need it. they seem like good kids? they're such quick learners! wow!
he'll have work sorted out for them the next day if they're amenable. until then, there's an older women who works as an apothecary closer to the outskirts of the village he knows has been having trouble sourcing her herbs recently.
with some pork buns to share as an indicator of his trust, elysium just looks visibly happy about this? it's thorns' strikezone!! ]

[ it's probably like past midnight at this point their asses need to SLEEP!!
but elysium just turns back to the wheel and puffs his cheeks out. ]
No, I need to take you to see someone…
[ but then his hand pauses before he starts up the engine. ]
Huh? Where are we?
[ how did this happen. (he made this happen.) ]

[ they are really just going door to door to charm everyone in this village, when they plan on banding them eventually. this is the kind of people they are now...
but thorns just nods his head and comments that they will go check that out. once the man is no longer within earshot, thorns turns to elysium. ]
That'll be simple.
[ he sounds so neutral about this but he is thinking of all the ways he can get herbs ]

[ why would they be seeing his non-existent ex thorns please
he picks up his phone. it does not power on. hm. this is such a cursed night thorns might've been onto something about their relationship equivalent of feng shui not being feng shui. the vibes are eternally bad. ]
Can you pull up G**gle maps for me?

[ they are innocently side-questing and doing the work no one wants to. at least for them, the quest rewards are worth it.
he elbows thorns teasingly. ]
Don't skim too much off the top.
[ they may have questionable morals and ethics but these are cute senior citizens ]

[ this is how they find out they're in a black mirror simulation ]
Someone who can check up on you. I let them know we were coming…
[ an hour ago… he has not said anything since, but he gives thorns the address. they are probably about to d*e considering the time they're showing up, but it will be less painful than what they're going through now?
even if… he's kind of happy about it… every so often, he tucks his chin in and smiles to himself. explodes. ]

[ the way they aren't even dating
but the smile is impossible to hold back once thorns starts hanging onto him. was his roommate always this cute…? yes.
anyway. this is how they end up at the house of one (1) angry looking kal'tist. do not ask how he knows the dean of medicine personally enough to show up at her doorstep at 2am. some things are better not to think about.
she just opens the door and waits for him to explain. ]
We got held up by traffic, you see…… then we got pulled over for suspicious activity. Does it look like we're the kind of people who'd be up to no good? I drove straight from the hospital but still ended up—
[ she looks so ready to kill him but she just sighs and steps to the side. the vibe of someone who wants to get over this so fast. ]
