He seems to be doing better. He's moving around normally.

[ he glances over to where docybara is chowing down. ]

We can get as far as we can before lunch.

[transmit]

[ 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. ]

[oversea]

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.

[transmit]

Sounds good.

[ 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?

[oversea]

I think it's fine.

[ 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. ]

[transmit]

[ THINGS EXIST TO BE USED!! DON'T BE A PACKRAT!!!

but elysium just nods and feeds thorns another spoon. hehehe. ]

I figured out what I wanted, by the way. From the bet I won.

[oversea]

[ he sips at the soup.

... but now does so a little more hesitantly because hs is worried about what the request is. ]

And what is it?

[transmit]

[ continues feeding thorns at the same pace pre-hesitancy. don't choke on soup. ]

Why don't you look like you trust me?

[oversea]

Hm? This is just my face.

[ and also, he doesn't trust him.

STOP FEEDING HIM. ]

[transmit]

[ this is one of his very respectable hobbies. why would he? ]

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. ]

[oversea]

[ this is so rude

thorns is just going to pinch back in retaliation. ]

Is this your request?

[transmit]

What? I can do this whenever I want. No.

[ PINCHES!!!! ]

Nevermind. I'm taking it back until I think of something worse.

[oversea]

You are such a pain. Your prize is going to expire.

[ why is he adding an expiration date. ]

[transmit]

Who said you could revise the original terms like that? What? I didn't give you permission.

[ PINCHES HARDER!!!!!!!!! ]

[oversea]

We never specified it having no time limit.

[ if elysium can be annoying then thorns will be annoying back. this is war now. ]

[transmit]

Do you actually hate me, Thorns? That's something you'd say if you secretly did.

[ WHERE IS HIS LOVING BBBB ]

[oversea]

You're the one making this difficult.

[ by saying he will think of something worse? hello? elysium is talking about punishing him... ]

[transmit]

[ he will stay calm and breathe and relax and remember the epiphany he had a few days ago.

…

he straightens out his posture. he drops his hand and clears his throat. ]

Thorns. I love you.

[oversea]

[ almost immediate: ]

I love you too.

[transmit]

[ help

he pulls thorns into his lap and leaves a kiss on his nape.

time to oil him up!!! ]

Do you? I love you more.

[oversea]

[ this is cheating and thorns is falling for it. ]

No you don't. I love you more.

[transmit]

[ it is not his fault that thorns fits perfectly in his lap, or that the most comfortable place in the world happens to be his chin resting on thorns' shoulder, arms wrapped loosely around his torso.

it is not cheating to love your partner and express your affection. ]

Do you? My request has to do with how much I do.

[oversea]

[ it's cheating because thorns is already forgetting what they were just arguing about, although he is still somewhat aware that there was an argument taking place about the request. ]

Then, what is it?

[transmit]

[ this is about to be so stupid ]

Let me stay like this?

[oversea]

Oh. Is that the request?

[ ???????????? ]
