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. ]
[ he's gotten over being a short-haired emo boy (for now)
their one real chance to be apart was when elysium was having a meltdown over his hair. incredible. ]
No. I'll come with. [ he clamps onto thorns' hand, anchoring himself at his side. ] It wasn't that long ago so it should be quick.
[ except
there's a loud scream to their left, prompting elysium to glance over to thorns. they should probably check that out first. surprise—it's their capybara friend trying to eat a woman's hair this time. ]
[ that is 100% not what is happening here, but thorns does not really see the hair thing as a problem. he knows now to say that out loud in front of elysium.
but he walks over and tries to yank it off of her without a single word to the woman. ]
elysium just watches this happen even as the woman shrieks and asks what's wrong with him in yanese. for his part, he responds in kind—depending on if thorns has been keeping up with his homework he may or may not understand?
but he isn't socialised and it's very much a work-in-progress. sorry. the way he says this leaves it so ambiguous as to who he's referring to exactly. ]

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
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
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?
no subject
[ isn't that how it works? they do everything together??
is that not how they do things... does thorns need to adjust his processes... ]
no subject
Uh huh. We can start by backtracking our steps, I guess…
[ continues staring into the distance. ]
When's the last time you saw it?
no subject
Before we started talking about being kidnapped.
[ hm... he takes a step back. elysium doesn't want to be seen by people, so, ]
I can go look. You should go on ahead.
no subject
