[ wow. elysium really left out so much information. why is he so rich.
thorns will proceed to try to live normally with this news on top of knowing he is going to be oversea forever. don't rich people have to marry other rich people? he has so many questions. ]
[ the way he expects thorns to take a million years to respond and so he's getting his heart ready for just that. but then… he gets a response instantly? woah!
his hand hovers over the call button before he smacks himself away from it… ]
I'm flagged as a flight risk now but yeah I'm okay!
They took my phone away for a bit. They gave it back after a while, I assume it was because you were far enough at that point they didn't think I could catch up.
[ not like he knew where they were going since he is unaware elysium had to take a plane there. ]
their messaging service can be a messenger service from hell with both read receipts and chat bubbles. thorns gets to see exactly how many times he types and backspaces ad infinitum. ]
But you're right that it is kind of disingenuous to put it like that. It's an entire company. One that's been passed down for several generations, now.
[ why must he act like an abandoned dog in the rain
the way he is of mind that thorns cares about him deeply but does not feel that deeply about their relationship itself… but, anyway. around midnight the next day: ]
Two more hours Don't stress about it if you're tired; there's always tomorrow

he just wants to be… a normal lad…? god. how do you even have a normal conversation after that.

this is the fastest thorns has ever responded to a text. ]
Are you okay?

More importantly, are you?
no subject
What do you mean more importantly? I wasn't the one captured by the CIA.
no subject
They weren't the CIA…
Were they rough with you? I told them if they were, I'd show them what actual rebellious behaviour would look like.

Where should I begin?
no subject
This seems to be more than just you being in charge of a firm after you graduate.
no subject
But you're right that it is kind of disingenuous to put it like that. It's an entire company. One that's been passed down for several generations, now.

this is fine. ]
They seem to be watching you pretty closely.

he'd hate both…… ]
If the hand-off goes poorly, it'll affect the stock. That's all.
no subject
thorns has so many questions, but this really isn't the kind of thing he wants to discuss over text. ]
When are you free to talk?
no subject
a five minute gap where he doesn't say anything… does thorns wants to follow-up or will there just be silence… ]
no subject
thorns stares at his phone the entire time. ]
no subject
also it is probably like well-past midnight right now… ]
This weekend, do you mind staying up a little late?
[ this is how dire it is ]
no subject
[ like a dog waiting for its owner to come home... ]
no subject
but this is a lot of pressure… ]
There are events I need to go to, but I'll try to make it back early. Don't wait up too long.
no subject
[ he will wait for long. unfortunately his thoughts are deeply haunted by elysium's situation. ]

the amount of coffee he has drank to make sure he'd be awake does not need to be known. ]

muffled nightclub music(?) in the background. some kind of music? woah. ]
