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. ]
[ 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're fugitives, what are they even going to do with a marriage license? tears up
most people would argue that making up for one day with a whole week doesn't make sense, but they aren't exactly living in the real world anymore. for elysium, it makes perfect sense to nod along vigorously. ]
Since when were you this smart? Wow. [ it's almost like he never had his emo arc. the real test will be when he's faced with a mirror. ] Was there anything you wanted to do with an extra week specifically?
[ they're not affording it at all, they are so beyond delusional at this point it's impressive.
thorns is pleased that elysium's mood has gotten better though, not even considering it might plummet again once they're inside. he is too naive in matters of beauty... ]
Flirt. And maybe we can see a place you haven't been to yet.
We can meet each other halfway. I won't even say anything if I show up and all the kidnappers are mysteriously on the ground. Must've been something in the air… we both win like this, don't we?
[ whispers what is wrong with them
but they reach the farm… remember what they thought about it not being the type to wander
well
it's gone. and elysium has been so caught up in this scenario he has not been paying attention whatsoever. ]
no subject
when he finishes, he just pads over to wherever thorns is and hugs him from behind… the hood is once again drawn. sniffs. ]
no subject
a moment of silence for his loss ]
Let's go home now, mi vida.
[ before someone sees elysium and he panics again. ]
no subject
[ 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 ]
no subject
We can just leave it at the farm...
[ now that they know it doesn't tend to wander apparently. ]
no subject
[ this is said half-heartedly not because he will miss it but because he's now essentially phantom. is he elysium anymore… no… ]
Sorry.
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
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.
no subject
[ 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?
no subject
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. ]
no subject
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.
no subject
most people would argue that making up for one day with a whole week doesn't make sense, but they aren't exactly living in the real world anymore. for elysium, it makes perfect sense to nod along vigorously. ]
Since when were you this smart? Wow. [ it's almost like he never had his emo arc. the real test will be when he's faced with a mirror. ] Was there anything you wanted to do with an extra week specifically?
[ how are they affording this honeymoon ]
no subject
thorns is pleased that elysium's mood has gotten better though, not even considering it might plummet again once they're inside. he is too naive in matters of beauty... ]
Flirt. And maybe we can see a place you haven't been to yet.
no subject
it's time to rob a bank. ]
That's a tall ask. I don't know about you, but getting kidnapped in Sami together doesn't sound the most romantic.
no subject
[ thorns thinks they can just make everything romantic if they just try to?
he is biased. ]
no subject
[ he says this but like
any scenario where only one of them gets kidnapped is doomed to be deeply unhinged. ]
no subject
Wouldn't you want to rescue me for real this time?
[ since his attempt to save him from pirates was unneeded. ]
no subject
[ their immersion… or lack thereof… ]
no subject
[ he has to think about it. ]
Be tied up?
no subject
this seems to give him a revelation. ]
You aren't good at staying tied up to begin with, but other people shouldn't be allowed to anyway.
[ thinks. ]
In this hypothetical scenario you'd be standing around waiting for me.
no subject
after a moment, he slowly shakes his head. ]
This seems like a boring scenario. Couldn't I just leave?
[ they aren't even actually larping and he's already breaking character. ]
no subject
[ this was flawed from the moment he was insane enough to believe the kidnappers just wouldn't do something he would not accept. but. anyway. ]
no subject
[ thorns supposes he can pretend to be useless for the bit and also for love? ]
I'll wait for you.
no subject
[ whispers what is wrong with them
but they reach the farm… remember what they thought about it not being the type to wander
well
it's gone. and elysium has been so caught up in this scenario he has not been paying attention whatsoever. ]
no subject
he looks around, then slowly turns to elysium. ]
Aren't we missing someone?
no subject
Weren't you keeping an eye on that someone?
