No. I don't think you thought it through.

[ and he is right... elysium didn't, but thorns loves him anyway.

(thorns also did not think it through) ]

[transmit]

It was worth it, wasn't it…?

[ thorns…… their cope… you can't leave him behind like this. ]

[oversea]

Anything is worth it if it's with you.

[




however that doesn't make the idea any less of a bad one. ]

[transmit]

See? Everything turned out fine. All we're doing is living our best lives—don't think too much of it.

[ there is no such thing as a bad idea unless it involves them separating. elysium winks. ]

Unless you're telling me you don't want a repeat?

[oversea]

[ okay.

thorns throws something into the small space between boxes, trying to hit elysium with it. it is an acorn. ]

[transmit]

Hey! What was that for?

[ it's a clean hit. with his hands nowhere to shield himself, he turns his face at the last second so it bounces off his cheek instead of, say, his nose. ]

If you don't want to take care of me, I can always take care of myself…

[oversea]

You're absolutely not allowed to do that.

[ in more ways than one... but they need to be pure now, elysium's body cannot take more. ]

But it was what you deserved.

[transmit]

Yeah? What'll you do if I misbehave?

[ he shifts the boxes in his hands so they're covering his face again. what if thorns has another acorn? that's dangerous. ]

[oversea]

[ hm.

he could say something sexy here, but he is kind of in a mood to bully elysium. ]

Make you walk.

[transmit]

[ he could let thorns bully him or he could retaliate. he wants to win. ]

Okay. Let's swap places.

[ he starts getting up. ]

[oversea]

[ HELP

he isn't sure why he didn't see this coming when he's fully aware elysium is annoying. this is how much love and insane devotion blinds you. ]

Sit down.

[transmit]

[ docybara grows a little antsy as he picks up on his movement, letting out a low whine to get him to stop. he's trying his best here, elysium could stand to squirm less. but he soothes it with a series of placating noises, setting the boxes back where they were before, and hops down, pointedly ignoring how loudly his legs protest the motion. ]

Too late. That was enough of a rest.

[oversea]

It was barely any rest.

[ he'll kill you.

thorns' gaze just goes to elysium's lower half. ]

You're going to regret this.

[transmit]

Who's going to regret it more? Me, or you?

[ they will have to be… celibate. he hooks an arm around thorns and kisses his jaw just to be extra annoying. ]

[oversea]

[ oh when he kills you...

docybara is fine with this turn of events because it means he gets a break with a lighter load, because thorns is not climbing into that damn care. he is protesting. ]

You're such a brat.

[transmit]

And you don't know when to lose.

[ this is probably not the way to teach your fiancé to be more humble. ]

Now we're both going to suffer.

[oversea]

[ don't just admit that everyone is suffering (except for their baby)!!!

he huffs, already accepting this at their fate. ]

Feel free to get back in whenever you want.

[transmit]

[ hmmm

nah.

he says nothing, just innocently sliding his hand into thorns' and swinging it as they go. ]

You'll have to throw me in there if you want me to recover by next week.

[oversea]

You really can't ever deny you're a masochist.

[ only someone who is one would willingly put themselves through this.

thorns is ready to knock him out if he really has to though. ]

[transmit]

I haven't denied it for a long time now, have I?

[ there are plenty of people who would probably accuse him of the same thing on the sole basis he knows thorns. is it something to be ashamed of? he has been out of shame since well before this timeline started. ]

Kind of hard to after I've known you for so long.

[oversea]

I don't know. I think I'm pretty normal.

[ lol.




he reaches over to pinch elysium's ass. sorry. ]

[transmit]

[ okay.




he jolts, biting the inside of his cheek to keep quiet. he is ignoring thorns' ass for this one, unwinding himself from thorns' side to coo at docybara. bye. ]

[oversea]

[ thorns allow this.

but it means he can just watch elysium with nothing to stop him. he is keeping a close eye on every step. ]

[transmit]

[ yea he wishes

elysium walks on the other side of docybara. he is tall, but not that much taller than a burdenbeast tall. stop looking. ]

[oversea]

[ thorns is fighting the demons that are telling them to ask if elysium hates him.

but they can walk in silence then. which... is actually probably for the best because it means they can focus on making sure they aren't going to get attacked. ]
