[ thorns could not be more blatant even if he tried. okay. ]
Say you make off like a bandit. What are you going to do with a bunch of grass? The most we'll need is for hunting and emergency.
[ they are no longer fighting people or monsters every other day of their lives? whack. ]

[ he just shakes his head, clearly disappointed that elysium doesn't just immediately understand the significance. sometimes you bond so extremely hard that you forget the love of your life does not share all of your questionable hobbies since he's normally in the room for them now. ]
You'll see.
[ a threat. ]
You'll see.
[ a threat. ]
One, I don't owe her money. Two, even if I did, what would that have to do with you?
[ he pulls back, squinting at thorns in disbelief. then realisation hits, mouth forming an 'o'. ]
Oh. I guess she could harvest your organs.
[ kal'tist, visibly unimpressed with the direction of the conversation, cuts in sharply. if they don't do this now, she's kicking them out of both her house and the school. okay.
she is standing in front of a chair impatiently waiting for thorns to sit. she has various instruments next to her including a syringe… and a bottle for urine… if thorns asks if it's necessary, she answers yes. sc*en being involved explains everything. but shouldn't she be more fussy over elysium? all thorns had was a part of the supposed cure.
hm. ]

What if I want to see it now? [ he huffs, crowding into thorns' space with a loop around his shoulders. ] Explain it to me.
[ he is not so much interested in the science itself (even if he very will commit it to memory), but the asmr aspect of it: cute boyfriend lectures on the logic behind his questionable science experiments and need to blow things up a regular basis.
it's his version of storytime? thorns is such a fascinating specimen. ]

[ elysium this is ill behavior
i don't know anything about plants despite playing more than one ak who would know things about them. but thorns will explain how even the most innocent looking one can actually be quite useful, whether in medicine or toxicology, and while locals may know some uses they might also not have the equipment necessary to discover all of them, so they might be sitting on a goldmine without knowing it.
a goldmine to who, exactly? thorns. to thorns... ]

[ he would not be alive to look at his organs if that were the case, so no. this also shouldn't be the response to that reaction but here they are.
elysium tries to be subtle about his fretting but ends up hovering a short distance away. at this point, kal'tist's already performed an overview of his external condition and moves on to draw blood. ]
He's fragile. Remember to be careful with him.
[ she pretends she does not hear him. if she were petty, she'd pretend to struggle to find thorns' veins but she does not. once again, it is 2am. ]

[ by the end of it he is so sparkly-eyed thorns is so sexy when he is passionate about his experiments and explosions and roaming the high se—
…
there is a brief blip in his enthusiasm, almost impossible to miss. but it's glossed over nonetheless when elysium presses a smooch to thorns' cheek. ]
As long as you don't bully the elderly. It's enough that you already have me, isn't it? —That should be her cottage up ahead.
[ except
the apothecary is all too happy to discuss beyond the medicinal properties of various herbs with thorns. this really is just hospitality: the village. ]

[ he notices, but he won't comment on it. this is definitely not the time to be probing, in any case.
thorns listens very attentively, and he even gets some free samples for it. maybe not the exact samples he personally would have picked, but it's better than nothing. the apothecary would love to have the occasional help from them; there are certain ingredients that grow fairly deep in the woods and it's gotten more difficult to collect them with old age.
it's also mentioned that they should also talk to the village guard at some point. ]

You got sick this easily and you're still saying that? No way.
[ but kal'tist also shoots him down incredibly fast. if he wants his own blood sample he has two hands (this is not what the dean of medicine should say). elysium just looks aghast and tells her not to encourage this??
they do not need another sc*en. do not be tempted by human experimentation… ]

[ this would be so annoying if all they cared about was the main story (money), but there's something oddly fun about being sent all over with thorns.
still, they've done a lot of walking, a lot of work, and at the end of the day elysium is only human—a human who's dealt with both a sore everything for the past half day. he catches the edge of thorns' sleeve before positioning himself against thorns' back. ]
Piggyback me.
[ making it this far should be impressive enough… ]

I don't think we should be talking about breaking in and entering in front of a dean, Thorns……
[ he looks away. their honeymoon period in this au lasted five minutes.
still, it wasn't an explicit no?
before they can be any more stupid than they already have been, kal'tist thrusts the urine bottle into thorns' hands. there is a bottle of water if he really needs it… go… get out of her sight… ]

[
thorns knows him too well because he does try to pull away before thorns catches him. he glowers. ]
No we're not.
[ he has decided that like many other things that would've been better for him to not decide, he does not like the usage of 'you' as it implicitly leaves out thorns.
he bites at his neck. ]
Stop making it sound as if I'm doing things alone.

[ well. at least they can hear the opening and closing of doors so they don't have to start wondering if thorns is having trouble putting out.
while thorns is taking care of that, kal'tist just looks at him… he looks at her back… this is the second most awkward moment of his life today but he will not yield. ]

[ my icons expired overnight and i am simply too comfortable to get out of bed for my card… reuses the same icon forever
but first his ability to walk, then to provide, and now to stay up? thorns is attacking him everywhere today, what the hell. ]
Why are you making it sound like I had to do anything today? All I am is sore.
[ to the average person they've already done so much though ]
We can play xiangqi. There was a board for it back at the inn.

[ kal'tist just points to the closest table. now go
he does not have to be stared down for any longer to get the hint. elysium takes thorns' hands and skeddadles. in the time between thorns had been gone and now, elysium has gotten a semblance of a diagnosis… the concept of one.
he is not actively dying! so that's good enough for the time being. ]
