[ it's the drugs....

thorns thinks animals like him a normal amount and that elysium is just imagining things. but god.

he just stares at this animal... who they need to name... ]


We'll figure something out.

[ it would in fact be useful to have something that can carry things..... ]

You can consider it whatever you want. Just try to convict me.

[ unceremoniously dumps thorns in the tub. well, in his mental theatre he does. in reality, he just lowers his sick roommate into the bath with as much passive aggression as humanly possible. ]

I'll be back.

[ he sounds and looks like he's about to keel over but don't worry about it he's getting used to operating at this level of death ]

[ all these animals want to eat him… this is why uni is expensive.

but they get to the farm. and without breaking and entering into one of the barns, elysium just stares rather skeptically at the fencing before raising a brow at their new friend.
]

If he wanted to, he could just walk over it… [ ] Should we tie him to a pole?

[ that seems mean ]

[ he watches him try to leave.

this is so pathetic (thorns is also pathetic). ]


Maybe we should shower together...?

[ that does seem mean...

thorns sighs. ]


Let's take him with us...

[ they can always just build a better fence later? but they don't have time to deal with that now. ]

[




he thinks about it.
]

That's how we die for real.

[ you know it's bad when he's too dead to even get embarrassed. he shuts the door behind him. he is so ready for them to get well and when they are well he'll wish they were both sick again. but. anyway! hindsight is 20/20. ]

[ it's one of those moments where a lightbulb goes off in his head. he hits his palm with a fist. ]

We can teach it tricks. Say, to charge at our enemies?

[ this sounds like such a bad idea.

but never mind this capybara is so much better than every other child that's come before it. they really just kidnapped an entire animal.

[ thorns is just like, but you suggested it? still, he shrugs and will go to take his shower. his only real motivation to get through this is because it means elysium gets to be taken care of right after.

they are competing to mom the other... ]

[ okay... you could definitely teach nene to charge... it would not do anything damage but you can.

thorns nods in agreement at the terrible suggestion though. ]


Good idea. [ no ] It can cover our blind spots.

[ this is peak romance.

he knocks, just to let thorns know he's coming in again, leaving his clothes on the counter. then he simply sits outside the door, knees drawn up to his chest, waiting while trying not to nod off.

not only do we have peak romance, we have peak pathetic.

[ tears up

at the very least, since thorns is aware elysium is waiting for him, he makes this quick and doesn't do any unnecessary soul searching in the shower. once he's out and dressed, he opens the door and almost trips over elysium in the process.

...

he leans down to ruffle his hair as if he didn't almost die. ]

[ THAT'S HOW THEY GET NENE KILLED… but this is why thorns is the best. ]

Yeah! Yeah. You get me. We'll get it to coordinate with us if we ever need a distraction, figure out if there's something we can outfit it with that'll help it in combat… then, in downtime, it could help tow fields, carry things back and forth. Maybe… it could even guard our home when we're away?

[ places it in front of their blue box ]

You're not going to get a more harmonious lifestyle than this.

[ he's so ambitious ]

[ they have such big dreams for people who have abandoned every pet they have had. granted they abandoned the chicken because the timeline had to be reset but still. thorns still plans on getting bird back... ]

Mm. You're cute when you're making plans.

[ if elysium was just sitting down and picking his nose, thorns would still call him cute. ]

… Good night.

I can't help it. Everything there is to do on this land, I want to do with you.

[ they haven't even returned to their post yet and they're already flirting. elysium shyly laces their hands together, tugging thorns forward for a kiss—but their pal has a different idea and tugs him back by his arm.

elysium's mouth freezes mid-pucker.

We might have a problem, mi amor.

If you don't get up I'll undress you.

[ sorry, thorns thinks this is insanely funny. what he wouldn't give to have been able to take a picture of elysium's face at that moment.

his sleeve is so slimy now... ]


Maybe you should kiss it first and then me.

You can't. That's indecent. We haven't even…

[ he manages to get elysium fully inside, and then tries to lift him up properly so he can sit on top of the toilet lid.

he refuses to be the only one forced to shower. he is not leaving until elysium makes movements. ]

You didn't hear me?

[ he realises it's up to him to give a demonstration. okay.

he leans forward… pauses for a single second, and then kisses thorns lightly on the nose. like a boop! except with his mouth.
]

Kiss. We haven't even kissed. Now go.

[ he gets up clumsily. it is hard to tell how much he's thinking or if he's thinking at all. ]

Hmm. Did you want to see me jealous? Is that it?

You're giving it a lot of attention.

[ giving it his sleeve is not attention. ]

[ well

he better scurry back because how long is he going to give elysium in the shower before he thinks he's drowned? that'll be however long he stays in there without indication the water's shutting off anytime soon.

fun!
