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. ]
[ yes… he'll guide docybara out of this mess and straight into another, because of course he will. he stumbles on strangers encroaching on their camp; they don't seem to want a direct altercation, dispersing the moment elysium appears, but within seconds he's tying docybara to the campsite and giving chase. docybara isn't happy about this, likely protesting loud enough for thorns to hear—but this isn't about him.
[ docybara making noise isn't strange, but elysium not shushing him due to the current circumstances is.
the bad part though is that thorns hasn't climb all the way up to see what's going on... his corazonix gives him so many cheats but they do not give him another pair of eyes to see, unfortunately. and while he is good at climbing due to how much of it he had to do on his ship, someone running would have a much bigger head start... rip ]
[ they promised each other not to go off on their own anymore, but who's the one who broke that promise first? stupid. it doesn't matter that they were in a cold war!! they were supposed to suffer it together!! so now elysium is off on his own, hoping to put an end to this once and for all so they can go back to their full-time loveydovey life.
it's ten minutes and docybara only continues to get louder. what gives. ]
but docybara is so happy thorns has come back for him? it gives a soft, needy whine and fastens its teeth into his pant leg, trying to keep him from leaving again. why is everyone in this club so clingy. ]
thorns is just going to bribe docybara with food as a distraction technique before hurrying along... where is his bbbb.... they can never fight again. ]
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.
no subject
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
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. ]
no subject
… 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.

WELL. he is up now and he sees docybara alone. alright. this is cool. where the fuck is elysium. ]

his bbbb is… unwell… and heavy breathing while against a tree trunk but so is the random guy across from him? look!! they've caught someone alive. ]
