[ he tilts his head, clearly not following along with the thought process. ]

Huh? Where?

[transmit]

[ what happened to being able to read his mind!!!!!!

he huffs again and continued tugging thorns along. ]

If we're going to be delayed anyway, we might as well have some fun retracing our steps. No?

[oversea]

Yeah...?

[ thorns is like

are they going all the way back to the inn or something? does elysium want to take nudes? whoa. ]

[transmit]

[ thorns your mind is in the gutter.

it's a good thing elysium isn't privy to thorns' thoughts… if he were, his ass would not mind pivoting to nsfw. as it is, his mind is still mostly wholesome…

they end up by the river just a ways away from the village. is thorns' confusion written across his expression… ]

[oversea]

[ elysium can tell thorns is confused because he has the power of reading his microexpfessions.

thorns looks from the river then to elysium. ]

Here?

[transmit]

[ he has the power of reading thorns' micro expressions but not his thoughts…

he just beams. ]

I'm thinking of penning this entry as the time you said you'd teach me how to fish, but you never did.

[oversea]

[ oh.

he smacks the back of his head. ]

You know how to fish.

[transmit]

[ OW ]

You know how to do it better…?

[ don't just word this like a question ]

[oversea]

[ thorns is not currently larping the hapless housewife elysium scenario, so this will not work on him. ]

I do. But you still can.

[ he can't say elysium is better considering he was a literal pirate. but still. ]

[transmit]

[ thorns had the chance to turn this into a cute larping scenario but he did not take it… ]

But you didn't.




Were you scared?

[ you came here to take a picture not to pvp stop!!!! ]

[oversea]

[ the way the longer they keep at this, the more likely they will miss their chance to take the picture before the sun sets. ]

Scared of what? You falling into the water?

[transmit]

[ bold of you to assume there's still a chance. ]

Hmmm. That you aren't very good at fishing outside of using the Destreza as a crutch?

[ nudges thorns annoyingly with his elbow. ]

[oversea]

Are you trying to fight me?

[ he is feeling the opposite of romanced right now. he is being.... aggroed? by the love of his life? ]

[transmit]

We're making a scrapbook of our memories. Shouldn't we keep ourselves honest?

[ looks at thorns with his big ol' doe eyes 🥺 ]

[oversea]

[ this is ragebait.

although the scrapbook comment does remind thorns of why they're here. ]

Shouldn't you be taking a photo?

[transmit]

[ fulfillment comes from being able to ragebait the other. elysium might not be successful this time, but he laughs anyway. ]

You have two seconds or how pouty you are is getting immortalised forever.

[ is what he says but



this, too, is ragebait. an arm snakes around thorns almost immediately after to snap just that! ]

[oversea]

[ help

he blinks in surprise after the photo is taken, and leans in to bite elysium on the arm. ]

Hey.

[ annoying. ]

[transmit]

[ this is like having a small creature latch onto you with its teeth. he waves his arm uselessly, not particularly trying to dislodge him but annoy him further. ]

Hi, cutie. Something wrong?

[ kill him ]

[oversea]

Nothing.

[


it comes out muffled since his mouth is still occupied (unsexy) ]

[transmit]

We can take another one.

[ reaches over to pat his head. ]



I'm still keeping the first one, though.

[oversea]

You really are a brat...

[ it's said more like it's an observation than a condemnation though. he bites elysium again, more softly this time. ]

It's getting dark.

[transmit]

Who keeps enabling me? I mean it. You're cute.

[ the pet turns into an affectionate ruffle… ]

But I'm telling you, bro. I was onto something when I said it feels like time's been moving faster. You should make it your next research topic. What gives?

[oversea]

What's the saying? Time moves fast when you're having fun.

[ he says this so flatly that if anyone owe heard him they would not remotely think he is having fun. ]

But it can move more slowly so we have more time.

[transmit]

[ thorns' microexpressions… it's fine if he's the only one able to read them. this is a normal thing to think, especially when he's started this timeline trying to get thorns friends.

anyway. ]

But we promised to keep having fun with each other? How are we going to go about that?

[ this is such a silly conversation. ]

[oversea]

Hm, good question.

[ is it

he kisses elysium on the cheek as a way to delay giving an answer. ]

I guess we'll just solve that problem.
