[ if they weren't currently separated by a cart and a burdenbeast, thorns would pull elysium towards him in this moment. instead, he just looks up at the sky, wondering how there was ever a time where he didn't tell elysium how much he loved him. it's really more than a lifetime ago. ]
[ why is thorns making this out to be a horror movie.
but, he's paying attention if only because they still need to be ready for fight or flight at any moment. thorns' presence is one he knows well, down to his scent and the cadence of his footsteps. unsteady for reasons, he lets himself fall clumsily into the this mysterious stranger's arms anyway, completing trusting, tilting his head back to smile. ]

[ docybara, also far too attached, stops a few steps away and looks around anxiously. it finds thorns and elysium just behind it and lets out a plaintive whine… this is how you give a creature trust issues. ]
