Do you know how big the bald spot would be? [ spoken like thorns has his priorities all wrong because HE DOES!! ] That's the bigger problem.
[ anyway, this is debatably worse considering elysium's the only one who knows about thorns' particular incident. and a bald spot? so much harder to hide. either way, he ushers thorns down by the stream, tearing open the package and squinting at the instructions.
hmm… he has not thought to use dye before but it should be fine… ]
… I should probably give us haircuts while I'm at it.
[ he runs another hand through thorns' hair. he sounds so melancholic. ]
I can always shave all my hair off it it's easier.
[ stop trying to go bald just because it's easier.
thorns will pick up the other dye to read the instructions. why is this so much mixing... wait, that might be fun. this is the closest he will get to experimenting in a while. ]
I have to. It's not within the budget to buy a new one.
[ the way this implies that the only reason he will follow the instructions is because they need to be careful about their finances at the moment. otherwise elysium's hair would explode. ]
[ like he genuinely cannot think of a situation where elysium wouldn't say yes if thorns just asked him to?
if he doesn't come back immediately he will jump to panicking like he does any time elysium says anything that could even slightly resemble a breakup. ]
If you don't let me pamper you, you won't be able to.
[ he is still dead set on his mission to make them the most codependent couple in existence. never mind they've already cut every other important person and thing to them, they can always go
he cannot believe this. weren't they just talking about how deeply unwell and obsessed they are with each other? and now they're here? thorns will not stand for this. ]

[ shoots off the practical reason ]
I'd ask if you want to do mine, but I'm kind of scared……
[ … ]
You'll follow the instructions, right…?
no subject
[ the way this implies that the only reason he will follow the instructions is because they need to be careful about their finances at the moment. otherwise elysium's hair would explode. ]
no subject
never mind. ]
I can do it myself.
[ he begins foaming up thorns' hair, lathering it well into his roots. it'll feel tingly. ]
no subject
thorns huffs, not sure why elysium changed his mind so fast. ]
I can do it...
no subject
[ he works the lather in extra firmly. ]
I'm working too…
[ still only into being the housewife if it's larp, ]
no subject
[ this is definitely the wrong response to have after that kind of accusation, but he still says it.
thorns imagine him with all red hair... wow.... ]
no subject
he scowls and snacks thorns' head again because he can. ]
You want me to file for divorce?
no subject
If we divorce, we can get married again after.
[ two weddings wow. this is unwell. ]
no subject
Have you forgotten you'd have to to win me back? How are you going to do that?
no subject
[ like he genuinely cannot think of a situation where elysium wouldn't say yes if thorns just asked him to?

[ he is still dead set on his mission to make them the most codependent couple in existence. never mind they've already cut every other important person and thing to them, they can always go
deeper.
faust and mephisto would be jealous. ]
no subject
[ the way he is erasing that they once lived normal lives not dating each other.
he sniffs. ]
I guess we don't divorce then.
no subject
[ this isn't a divorce. ]
But it's a pretty flawed plan to start. Too many people would get ideas…
[ he's like. one episode away from outright killing a love rival. it's better they don't get there. ]
Can you lay on your back with your head towards the water?
no subject
[ elysium just doesn't know it because he is unaware of the subplot where he had a crazy stalker. but thorns remembers. it haunts him.
but anyway, he will follow the directions. ]
no subject
[ logic
but as he washes the foam away, a frown forms. ]
… This is going to take getting used to, and I haven't even gotten to cutting yet…
[ thinks about how he doesn't have scissors so he's going to have to use a sword for this
cool ]
no subject
but thorns has no idea what he looks like at the moment. ]
Is it so bad you'll fall out of love with me?
[ things that can happen maybe? ]
no subject
[ why does he sound so unsure. ]
no subject
Say that again but without the 'probably' this time.
[ he'll end it all in this thread too but in this one there is a chance of it being /srs and not /jk ]
no subject
[ THORNS YOU ARE GETTING DYE SUDS EVERYWHERE he flails and tries to shove him back down. ]
What are you doing?! I'm not done with you yet!!
no subject
but he's still squinting suspiciously up at elysium. ]
Say it again.
no subject
You lost points just now.
no subject
he cannot believe this. weren't they just talking about how deeply unwell and obsessed they are with each other? and now they're here? thorns will not stand for this. ]
I can't lose points.
no subject
he awkwardly pats his shoulder with his arm since his hands are wet… ]
If you behave you can have them back. [ this is not a tall ask, he thinks!! ] I'm almost done.
