werites | bursts into tears

[ his victoria secret supermodel girlfriend…… ]

No pressure if it doesn't work out. We're thinking pretty far out…

You've got your own things to worry about, right? You're probably going deeper into research?

[ dr. thorns!!! ]

[ ... he has to think about it, before eventually nodding. ]

Probably. It's still a long road though.

[ so many things are in the future... ]

[ so many things are in the future and yet they're only talking about it now that they're cities apart. so funny.

then comes the sound of something ringing and vibrating; he can't stop himself from sighing. did he have to set an alarm for this call? yea. ]

… I should get back to work. Next time I reach out, it'll be with good news, hopefully.

Okay.

[ it feels like too short of a conversation, but maybe this is just what he gets for not trying to reach out to elysium more when they actually had time for it. ]

Good luck.

You too.

[ back to the mines he goes……

and unless thorns has anything to say between now and the next day, elysium's next message comes around 2am, along with a picture of the night sky. ]

The stars are bright tonight.

I'm gonna try and find a shooting star.

Oh

What are you wishing for?

If I tell you, isn't that going to ruin it?
You only get to know that I'm looking

Fine

If I see one I won't say anything.

[ thorns is inside. what would he see. ]

[ he's lucky he's not thinking about how thorns is a lying liar. ]

That's fine. Better that we don't split its efficacy, yeah?

I'll still share mine with you, though.
