[ the way elysium's response doesn't register even a little as flirting to thorns. ]

Oh... okay. Yeah.

[ he won't, he has his own perfectly usable soap... he won't waste elysium's. they're so stupid. ]

Do you have a thing for bald heads?

[ thinks about the one sticker

why doesn't thorns love his hair as much as he loves his hair

thorns has no idea how to respond to this for several seconds. ]


I'm never trying to cheer you up again.

[



nevermind. curiosity kills the bird and he flips over. is thorns still pressed against him… can they gayly fall asleep staring into each other's eyes?

he knows it's bad but he's just really overcome with the desire to look at him properly.

[ thorns is still pressed against him, yes, when elysium turns over. he blinks in surprise at the movement, clearly not expecting it. ]

... Hi.

he allows this because he is so baffled it doesn't occur to him to take elysium's hand off. ]


I could say the same to you. Am I that ugly?

[ thorns has successfully defused the situation. good job.

elysium just wordlessly sulks off while simultaneously planning the overgrown rat's demise. they haven't even named it yet. how is it one of their children.

You're being ridiculous. Looking at me this close must be overwhelming; I'm just helping you out.

Aren't you going to kiss me back.

[ anyone who doesn't like capybaras can't be trusted… elysium can't be trusted… he stops in his tracks.

turns.

then kisses thorns three times in quick succession before he turns back to continue on to their post. he hopes more people show up, actually.

maybe they can just glue some wig hair into that spot? that should fix it. ]

Any more and you won't be able to fall asleep.

[ TRUE.

even if that's not what he meant. but elysium actually starts laughing quietly to himself, lowering his hand to keep it next to thorns.

We both have now, huh.

[ how can they flirt when elysium doesn't feel sexy!!!!!!! thorns should've given him his scissors!!!!!!!!!!!

he is going to look so much edgier especially with his hair already being black. tears up. the rest of the day goes as usual so long as you ignore elysium contemplating an inordinate amount of intrusive thoughts as he stares out into the horizon.

it's fine.

[ thorns spends more time watching elysium have a crisis than he does the village.

thankfully, the bandits was the only excitement for the day (if you ignore the hair tragedy), and eventually townspeople start slowly filtering back. while not everyone has returned, there's now enough people around that they can pack it up for the day.

the capybara is eating grass somewhere, content and unbothered. they probably actually could have kept it at the farm in hindsight and have avoided all of this. ]

Did you want me to make a bigger deal of it…?

[ well. it's a good thing they were still in the phase of getting used to each other again. keeping to himself while he tried to desperately erase it from the forefront of his mind wouldn't have passed as well if it were to happen a year in. ]

You aren't making one now.

[ elysium does not move from his spot.

in fact, he just pulls on his drawstrings so the only thing that can be seen is his nose.
]

Can you bring the scissors.

[ he cannot risk being seen like this. apparently, the hair crisis is enough for him to accept being apart for more than ten minutes. ]

I can't make you uncomfortable.

[ if his brain was working even half as well as it normally does, he would realize bringing it up at all goes against that. but he is sick enough that his already horrific common sense is dead on the ground. ]

... Okay.

[ this is so unfortunate.

thorns will pick up their bags and marches off back to their place. people he walks by are confused to see him alone. ]
