[ he's moved on from drinking out of this cup to stabbing his ice with his straw. ]

[ he pats his own cheek as he says this, not minding that elysium took the napkin since, yeah. it is more efficient if elysium does it. ]
Hawaii?
no subject
[ he sets down his napkin to pat thorns' other cheek. has he been moisturising? turning on the humidifiers? ]
