it's fine!!! cleanup goes quickly because they're not taking breaks every ten seconds to kiss. once thorns has everything set, he calls out to elysium. ]
[ he'd been saving this one punchline for so long. of course. ]
Okay.
[ he remains glued by docybara's side. poor thing doesn't know where all this attention is coming from, but he will accept it? he nuzzles into elysium's side as he tugs him toward. ]
[ there is a thin line between love and hate or something like that
but also this is how they keep their relationship healthy? (this specific relationship is not healthy in the slightest.)
anyhoooooo, elysium being elysium is incapable of staying quiet, so he will dutifully take his yaps to docybara. he is so used to being ignored and having to ram his snout against them for attention that he is perfectly content with this development… this will not come to bite them in the ass later. sometimes the worst drug of them all is attention. ]
[ he is not sure if elysium will accept a kiss (they stop talking for an hour and thorns immediately questions what is allowed in their relationship) so he will start walking off ahead. he summons a few of his units that just buzz around him and then spread out... ]
he has jumped down onto a ledge that's further down below. and even further than that seems to be a large deposit of debris. it's difficult to get a visual of what the debris is from where elysium is, which is why thorns jumped down.
he glances up and makes a face. elysium you failed step one... ]
[ you don't just leave behind your fiancé with separation anxiety.
he squats down to watch thorns from this ledge… even if he can't see what he's doing exactly, he can see thorns and that's what matters. he will not be intimidated into leaving and stares. ]
… Do you think you can perform an autopsy? I'll contact the village to see if they were expecting anyone. Whatever this is, we shouldn't get too involved.
[ as inclined as he is for them to ignore this entirely, they can't be blamed for this if they want safe passage through yan… ]
I'll comb the area and see if I can find anything.
[ the main reason he didn't want to go here with elysium is because he didn't want docybara following him and getting freaked out at the smell of corpses, but as long as elysium has that handled it should be fine.
but he will quietly try to see what he can figure out, although at first glance it does seem like they fell from the edge down here... however that shouldn't have been enough to kill an entire group of people. ]
no subject
No. It's fine.
[ elysium said such a romantic line but it feels like a waste... ]
no subject
this is how thorns gets bitten. or chomped, rather, because of how aggressive it is. ]
I'm buying you something when we get in town and you have to accept it.
no subject
I thought our love was enough of a prize?
no subject
Romance is dead.
no subject
he kisses the side of elysium's face. ]
no subject
docybara is his new bestie now. who's a good boy? ]
no subject
thorns will just clean up... and wander off to get better reads on their expected weather... ]
no subject
elysium will leave the cleanup and packing up to thorns as he showers his undying affection on this creature who will surely never betray him. ]
no subject

We're leaving.

Okay.
[ he remains glued by docybara's side. poor thing doesn't know where all this attention is coming from, but he will accept it? he nuzzles into elysium's side as he tugs him toward. ]
Let's go, cutie.
[ thorns is no longer the only qt. ]
no subject
thorns will tie the doctor to the cart so they can start heading off again .
and then he just stares at elysium. ]
no subject
but he will stare back at thorns and tilt his head, as if asking, 'yes?'
he is not going to be the one to break their silence. ]
no subject
guess they are just going to walk for a long time in silence. thorns has no problems with staying quiet. it is his default state of existence. ]
no subject
but also this is how they keep their relationship healthy? (this specific relationship is not healthy in the slightest.)

no subject
eventually, thorns will stop walking. he stares off ahead of them, before turning to the other two. ]
Stay here. I'll be right back.
[ he does not wait for a response he figures if elysium is ignoring him then he won't argue. ]
no subject
he looks up from cooing at docybara, a little stunned. he whines when elysium takes his attention off of him, grunting in dissatisfaction. ]
Don't go too far…
[ if thorns goes out of visual distance for too long he is toddling after him ]
no subject
[ he is not sure if elysium will accept a kiss (they stop talking for an hour and thorns immediately questions what is allowed in their relationship) so he will start walking off ahead. he summons a few of his units that just buzz around him and then spread out... ]
no subject
He just wants to know what he's doing. Truly, it is that awkward part after an argument that one has every intrusive thought in existence. ]
no subject
but elysium can see thorns kneeling down to apparently look at something on the ground? and then he just jumps and vanishes from view. ]
no subject
This is as much as he's able to stay still so he's just going to panickily rush over to the edge. ]
no subject
he has jumped down onto a ledge that's further down below. and even further than that seems to be a large deposit of debris. it's difficult to get a visual of what the debris is from where elysium is, which is why thorns jumped down.

no subject
well, thorns is going to climb down a little more before sending some of his alchemiac units down... he calls up to elysium, ]
There's bodies down there. I think they're fresh.
[ he just does not know if it was unfortunate accident or something else. ]
