[ this is literally why the villagers think they're dumb lovers. it's because they just stand around and do things like this all the time. they are so deeply annoying.
but thorns is just going to makeout with him if he is not stopped. they are supposed to be getting ready to run away together. ]
[ there is nothing stupid about prioritising what's important to you; it's everyone else who's dumb!!!! they are disregarding society around them but that is not their problem. people could just not look? simple.
and yes, while they were supposed to be getting ready to run away they don't have to get everything done now… there is no rush unless they keep putting it off day after day. making out with thorns is not something that can be delayed for later or made up for, so the answer is easy.
kiss kiss. this has been their life for the past while. it's all good. ]
[ they are soooo stable, they can totally be trusted to make important decisions when they arise. and thorns might pull away, but elysium keeps him close through lacing their fingers. ]
I told you I'd propose to you on the beaches of Siesta. Besides that? I haven't. [ … ] Where and how would you want the ceremony?
[ he knows the answer should be iberia, but he can't really bring himself to say it. partly because it's difficult to be celebratory there, but also that it feels like they may be pulled away from their dream life if they step foot back into their country.
there's no proof that will happen, but it's hard to shake the feeling. ]
but in this one, they just have to keep their adventures to themselves. thorns almost suggests that maybe he should do it just to pass time, but they still haven't actually discussed the odd power. yes, they've vaguely brought it up and made implications, but that really is not the same as having an adult discussion about something that is vitally important to their current relationship and lifestyle. ]
[ remember when he said he'd write fanfic to make money
turns out it's hard to find the time to when you need to work and flirt during all waking hours. someone in this economy needs to figure out the solution so he can have hobbies—although, more time probably could be made for flirting?
life is hard. ]
… I'll leave the venue a surprise, then. We can't ruin it for everything.
[ 'surprise' when there's really only the one place. ]
[ thorns wipes his hands clean of making decisions, like a typical husband would. tch. men.
he gives him another kiss. ]
We should at least finish gathering all the stuff we're taking with us.
[ it is mostly just what can fit into their cart and their bags. thorns figures they can sell or trade a lot of stuff they don't actually need, so even if it seems useless to bring along, they might as well pack it. ]
unfortunately he finds thorns cute whatever he does so even if he is stuck planning an entire wedding ceremony alone (it will not be this crazy), he finds thorns' willingness to defer to his judgement endearing. he has forgotten how many times he's regretted it, but it's fine. ]
That's right. Did you get a chance to replenish your plants and herbs with the apothecary?
Yeah. Unless something happens, it should last us a while.
[ or at least, in theory it should last them until they reach a place where he can restock.
it's interesting to think about how easily they were able to slip into a normal life here. maybe if they were remotely normal, or even just a few iterations of themselves ago, they could have actually settled. instead they are insane. ]
[ instead they are insane and ready to kill people who were perfectly hospitable to them if they're more than just slightly inconveniencing. it's fine. ]
Good reminder. Even though just touching up our roots takes a lot less of it, it never hurts to have a stock of it in hand in case of we ever end up somewhere harder to take it around.
[ thinks. ]
… We still can't get too attached to the idea, though.
[ he rakes a hand through his own hair, thoughtful. he is very much thinking that perhaps now it's time to go bald? imagine forcing elysium to propose while you're bald? ]
he is starting to think that they might not become bald? this is such a slow realization go have after what they went through when elysium had to cut his hair shorter. ]
[ thorns does not see the correlation between that and his hair. does that mean only elysium can decide on his haircuts? this is so stupid that thorns isn't even feeling the usual amount of smitten right now. he's just confused. ]
[ he gets the sense that thorns doesn't quite understand what he's getting at, but it's fine as long as he continues nodding along in the name of love…
he pats him some more. ]
The hair on your head is included. You can't do anything to it without my permission.
no subject
Just to confirm. Who would you say is the third smartest?
Our Doctor?
no subject
[ the first smartest is his baby chicken who is no longer with them. ]
no subject
You really had to count yourself as first, huh?
[ says guy who constaly proclaims how sexy he is ]
no subject
[ he sounds extremely believable? when he says this?
he kisses elysium. hi. ]
no subject
[ he huffs.
but he also kisses thorns back anyway. hi… ]
Keep going and it might work.
[ THEY WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN THIS ]

but thorns will finally pull away from him, placing one more kiss on his nose. ]
Have you figured out where we're going or is it still just see where the wind takes us?
no subject

We can't really have a large wedding.
no subject
You're wrong. Didn't we promise to make the world our witness? There'll be no larger wedding than ours.
[ one could make the same argument for it being the smallest wedding, their world now being two, but neither of them mine that fact at all, do they? ]
no subject
[ in another life, he writes stories...

Do we need more hair dye...

We can figure out alternatives.
no subject
Alternatives being natural dyes, yeah?
[ this is not a question. ]
no subject

... Yeah. Of course.
no subject
You told me you were mine. [ (sylus voice) ] Don't forget what that means.
[ this is so serious for a no bald arc ]
no subject
I'm always yours?
no subject
he pats him some more. ]
The hair on your head is included. You can't do anything to it without my permission.
no subject
[ he was going to do the most drastic thing you could ever do to it, actually, but don't worry about it. ]
no subject
[ some pats for good measure. this may or may not be a threat. ]
Let's try to shoot for the end of the week.
