but it's not the response that's needed in a world where they are trying to only reach a happy ending, so thorns will consider a different one instead. ]
I don't know. It's not something I need to imagine with you here.
[ THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE LATE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
unfortunately i rolled a d20 and got a nat20 so. i guess they aren't going to be late. the sun starts to set and elysium realises something is wrong… ]
[ just like how they'd just went together to the farm, took care of docybara together, then went to the apothecary alongside each other. everything has to be together or they will literally combust. ]
[ elysium isn't, either! there are aspects of their lives that are slowly becoming more normal in theory, but there's no undoing codependency overnight.
if thorns is not a part of the things he enjoys, he'll have to wonder if they're really all that enjoyable to begin with. he's fine. ]
Naturally. We have to make sure at least some of our film ends up usable. Whatever the world ends up looking like through your lens, I want to see.
but they can make it to the store. at least this time, they are not walking in at the very cusp of closing even though it's getting to that time, but it means the shopkeeper isn't ready to throw them out as soon as they get there. ]
[ in the end, he settles on a basic model and spends the rest on extra film instead of anything newer. what matters is preserving their memories; their minds can fill in all the blank spaces and close the gaps in quality where necessary.
still, he looks far too pleased with himself when he bounds back to thorns' side, rocking on his heels like he's just secured some great treasure and not something he bought over the counter. you do learn to appreciate so many of the smaller things when you have to work for every bit of it. ]
Just in time before the sun sets. Up for a quick trial run before we check up on the Doctor?
no subject
he hasn't even been given a kiss… (this is still considered easy.) ]
What if I'm curious? I always want to know more about what you're thinking.
no subject
he goes quiet, still not lifting his head. ]
You're pretty nosy and loud. But I don't mind it anymore.
no subject
If it's too quiet, you get all up in your head. What do you mean you don't mind? You used to be just as loud with your explosions.
[ smacks him but
gently. ]
Wow. That has to be a grievance from forever ago.
no subject
I did say it didn't matter anymore.
[ he has other grievances but that was the primary one. ]
no subject
[ he goes from abusing thorns' poor head to draping over his shoulders. ]
What would you do without me?
no subject
but it's not the response that's needed in a world where they are trying to only reach a happy ending, so thorns will consider a different one instead. ]
I don't know. It's not something I need to imagine with you here.
no subject
elysium brightens again and starts rubbing his cheek on thorns'. ]
If you just stayed like this, you'd be forgiven every time. Why can't you always be this cute?
no subject
[ thorns cannot call himself cute but he needs to know elysium's opinion.
even though the answer should be obvious. ]
no subject
no comment. thorns didn't give him a kiss earlier, so here he is, giving thorns one right on the cheek. hi!!! ]
no subject
because thorns responds by kissing him on the mouth right after. ]
Yes?
no subject
[ beams!
then
kisses thorns some more. okay. ]
no subject
guess they are going to start making out, then. every day where they get away with being this annoying is another loss for humanity. ]
no subject
unfortunately i rolled a d20 and got a nat20 so. i guess they aren't going to be late. the sun starts to set and elysium realises something is wrong… ]
Oh.
We still need to get to the apothecary.
[ mid-kiss, probably. ]
no subject
[ his reaction time is so slow... because kissing. he does eventually register what elysium said and sighs, pulling away. ]
Right. We should go.
] how do they get anywhere like this. ]
no subject
…
he steals one last kiss. ]
She's going to be so cranky that we're showing up right at closing…
no subject
[ don't make this her fault.
but thorns can slide in a little extra payment for the trouble... it's fine. ]
no subject
[ not daylight savings hitting the psl. makes it out to be the world's fault while they're at it with blaming things out of their control. ]
no subject
they make it to the apothecary. she is, unsurprisingly, not too pleased at their late arrival. thorns will sweet talk her though.
aka he will just pay her more so that she doesn't kick them out. money wins. ]
no subject
but he supposes make-outs are priceless so he calms down on that front real quick. if lightning doesn't get them, an earthquake should. ]
We have, what—an hour left? Easy.
[ if they don't get distracted again that is, ]
no subject
[ they can behave... they just need to put one foot in front of the other and walk to the next shop. isn't that easy?
it really would have been more efficient if they split up but here we are. ]
no subject
[ just like how they'd just went together to the farm, took care of docybara together, then went to the apothecary alongside each other. everything has to be together or they will literally combust. ]
You're taking pics too, not just me.
no subject
but thorns does like 'our' even though it, once again, is kind of worrying if you think too deeply on the need to share. but thorns isn't! ]
... Yeah. Our camera. But you need to use it first.
no subject
if thorns is not a part of the things he enjoys, he'll have to wonder if they're really all that enjoyable to begin with. he's fine. ]
Naturally. We have to make sure at least some of our film ends up usable. Whatever the world ends up looking like through your lens, I want to see.
[ blurry and in need of glasses… ]
no subject
but they can make it to the store. at least this time, they are not walking in at the very cusp of closing even though it's getting to that time, but it means the shopkeeper isn't ready to throw them out as soon as they get there. ]
Pick away.
no subject
still, he looks far too pleased with himself when he bounds back to thorns' side, rocking on his heels like he's just secured some great treasure and not something he bought over the counter. you do learn to appreciate so many of the smaller things when you have to work for every bit of it. ]

[ waves the camera excitedly. ]
