Oh.

he does settle back down though, looking up at elysium. ]


Come here.

[ there is so much wrong with letting thorns cut it for him he doesn't even know where he'd begin.

so, it's not that he ignores thorns but he ignores thorns. does he get the next seven minutes to mourn his hair more or does thorns also lose it…

[ they have been so in sync about so many things that when they run into things like this it is so telling. thorns cannot even slightly pretend to understand elysium's despair considering how many times he has set his own hair on fire.

he gets up to go look at some mushrooms..... ]

[ every time he's gotten his hair blown up it's always been salvageable it's different.

when he finishes, he just pads over to wherever thorns is and hugs him from behind… the hood is once again drawn. sniffs.

Go back to sleep.

Let's go home now, mi vida.

[ like elysium would let him do that so easily ]

It was either we get better together or we get worse together. You need to sleep, too.

[ in case that wasn't enough of an argument: ]

You were warmer.

Okay.

[ he's significantly more docile now, at least. he will hold onto one of thorns' fingers… and sniffs again. ]

If anyone asks it happened in combat.

[ not because thorns' new child tried to vore him ]

You've been sick longer.

[ he'll fight you...

there's a pause, and his hand moves to gently tug at one of elysium's stands of hair (that he still has in this thread). ]


I need you to get better.

[ this is so sad... but he nods his head in agreement and will try to lead them away. the capybara follows after them loyally. ]

We can just leave it at the farm...

You don't think I feel the same?

Ow. [ ] We need to plan how to get away with murder together.

Yeah…

[ this is said half-heartedly not because he will miss it but because he's now essentially phantom. is he elysium anymore… no… ]

Sorry.

I think Scien would consider an attempt on his life as flirting.

[ he is such a weirdo...

but maybe elysium saying he still has feelings for thorns is just a byproduct of being sick and he will go back to trying to date scien after? who can say. ]

Why are you apologizing?

[ even though this is all dramatic, it is still very much elysium, so thorns knows what he signed up for.

honestly? him being so passionate about something that isn't thorns is kind of refreshing. ]

He considers too many things as flirting…

[ what



anyway. comedy gold for thorns to consider other people weirdos.

Let's stop talking about him. We'll just raise our blood pressure and make it even harder to sleep.

[ despite everything, they're still them…

he's never been someone to mope for too long, though. so after a few minutes of truly being pathetic, he hooks his hand around thorns' shoulder and drags him closer.

We didn't get to flirt a lot today.

[ thorns thinks he's normal. however he is now wondering what else they did to flirt together because that's how he's taking that statement.

Close your eyes and imagine something you like instead of relax.

[ he thought the day would be nonstop flirting but instead they had to actually do their job and then tragedy struck.

they are so tortured. ]


Are we unlucky?

[ there is a reason elysium also has him blocked now but that's something they can deal with later in theory. thinks about how right after my vacation is the short term probably marks down sc*en's death for 2026

[ they had privacy but what good was it for!!!!!!!!!!

now at least half of everyone's back… elysium bumps their shoulders together encouragingly.

We'll make up for it during our honeymoon.

[ someone's going to ask for their marriage certificate one of these days and they'll be like what. marriage is not a piece of paper but a state of being these people are fools. ]

[ they most definitely need that paper but okay.

thorns sighs, accepting that they were forced to go through hell (an exaggeration) today but it only made their bond stronger (debatable). ]


We should stay an extra week for the honeymoon to make up for it.
