[ the day thorns shows any kind of preferential treatment to anyone else—anything else—intentional or otherwise is going to be such a disaster.
but since thorns is taking care of docybara, elysium can make himself a lil useful by being the ones to feed them. for now, this arrangement is fine… he starts a fire. ]
well, it's fine. at least feeding the doctor isn't time consuming since he is a simple child, so it does not take too long for him to wander back to where elysium is. hi. ]
[ docybara's resilience is kind of incredible. he's been through so much and yet he continues to thrive…
he pulls the soup off the fire and starts blowing on it, while also waiting for it to cool. no burned tongues for his bbbb. ]
We can. Did you want to stop by another village, or go straight to the next town? I was thinking we could take our time in Yan, since we'll have to cross the outskirts of Ursus or Kazdel to get to where we want to go.
[ and, well. those locations speak for themselves. ]
We can probably just go straight to the next town. It's always a coin toss on reception to smaller villages.
[ they are either the friendliest people you will ever meet or they will hate you, there is no in between. and if they're only stopping by to rest, a large town will be easier to get through without anyone asking any questions. ]
It'll be easier to potentially restock on nay supplies as well.
Soup's ready. [ he takes his spoon and feeds thorns as if it's the most natural thing in the world—because it is. ] Need any more seasoning, or d'you think it's fine as is?
[ it needs more seasoning but thorns thinks they need to save it. what if an emergency happens and they are in dire need of spices...... you gotta think ahead. ]

they can sleep peacefully until morning, which is about when their child comes sniffing along looking for them. wake up. ]
no subject
but while he's still curled up in thorns' arms, an arm shoots out to nudge docybara away. ]
Come back later…
[ docybara does not understand their language, so
he thinks elysium is trying to play and headbutts them both. okay. ]
no subject
thorns slowly moves to sit up, taking elysium with him... ]
I need to feed him.
no subject
he tries to pull thorns back just to see what happens. docybara continues headbutting. ]
no subject
he slowly turns to look at him. ]
I will feed you too...
no subject
Second?
[ 😊 ]
no subject
he pats elysium on the head. ]
How hungry are you?
no subject
Not very. You can feed the Doctor.
[ lets thorns go. he is so stupid. ]
no subject
he leans over to give elysium a good morning kiss, and then he will go give food to their baby so that docybara will stop headbutting them. ]

no subject
but he immediately hands thorns a canteen of water like clockwork. ]
Hydration check! It'll take a few more minutes to heat up the soup.
no subject
he nods his head. then presses another kiss to his cheek. ]
How far do you think we'll get today?
no subject
[ he glances over to docybara happily munching on his breakfast… what a simple life. then, he turns to kiss thorns back. ]
What's the other doctor's prognosis? Or is he already all better?
no subject
[ he glances over to where docybara is chowing down. ]
We can get as far as we can before lunch.

[ yay ♥️
more importantly, ]
Soup's ready. [ he takes his spoon and feeds thorns as if it's the most natural thing in the world—because it is. ] Need any more seasoning, or d'you think it's fine as is?
no subject
[ it needs more seasoning but thorns thinks they need to save it. what if an emergency happens and they are in dire need of spices...... you gotta think ahead. ]
no subject
but elysium just nods and feeds thorns another spoon. hehehe. ]
I figured out what I wanted, by the way. From the bet I won.
no subject
... but now does so a little more hesitantly because hs is worried about what the request is. ]
And what is it?
no subject
Why don't you look like you trust me?
no subject
[ and also, he doesn't trust him.
STOP FEEDING HIM. ]
no subject
You sound it, too.
[ well
thorns does get his wish, but only because elysium has to nudge the spoon to the side of his hand just to aggressively pinch his cheek. die. ]
no subject
thorns is just going to pinch back in retaliation. ]
Is this your request?
