[oversea]

... I'll figure it out.

[ he's not sure.

elysium says he's always loved him, but he also didn't technically realize that's what the emotion was until he got here. it's complicated. ]

[transmit]

I'm pretty stubborn.

You'd have to romance me with flowers and grand, sweeping gestures.

[ no ]

[oversea]

I don't think you're that hard...

[ oKAY. ]

[transmit]

Yeah…?




You let me walk away without saying bye. Everyone who's found out about that said they would've either killed me personally or thrown me overboard.

[oversea]

Well, it might have been more important for you to say goodbye to everyone else.

[ he knows that's likely not it. ]

[transmit]

[



He just looks at Thorns like this. The excuses Thorns makes for him are even worse than the ones he makes for himself. 'You couldn't make it sound even a little more believable?' ]

[oversea]

... I wouldn't stop you from making a choice.

[ whether he agreed with it or not is a different story, but thorns does understand the hesitation to say goodbye. ]

[transmit]

… You know the argument was how you were going to win me over, right?

I think the other me is going to come out on top.

[ dodges forever until death. ]

[oversea]

Well. You could date other people, I guess.

[ he does not sound remotely happy about this. ]

[transmit]

You'd just let that happen…?

[ Elysium also does not sound remotely happy about this. ]

…

Do you want me to give you notes on what might be effective.

[ this is fucked up. hands thorns an otome walkthrough for the unromanceable side character. ]

[oversea]

[ help.

actually, he has more important questions to ask, ]

Wait. What would you do, then?

[transmit]

[ …

So glad his eyes are already closed. He refuses to make eye contact. ]

What do you mean by that?

[oversea]

If I don't remember any of this when you go back. What will you do?

[ if thorns is expected to answer then he thinks elysium should as well. ]

[transmit]

I've only thought as far as stowing away on your ship.

[ Listen… ]

It just came to mind when people started asking what I planned to do when I got back, that's all.

[oversea]

... Moron.

[ he yanks at some of his hair. ]

You could just stay on it normally.

[transmit]

[ Ow. ]

Noooo… You have to forget so I can still surprise you.

[oversea]

Huh? Don't be stupid.

[ DON'T HOPE FOR MEMLOSS. ]

[transmit]

Maybe you'll get your memories back when I catch up to you.

[ This is why you don't let Elysium's imagination go wild. ]

Until then, you have to figure out a way to kidnap me. Easy, right? For a pirate.

[ like he wouldn't be as easy as a simple, 'will you come with me?' ]

[oversea]

Huh...

[ this is so overcomplicated for no reason. ]

Do you just want me to tie you up?

[transmit]

Is that how you're going to go about it?

[ why

does he sound interested ]

[oversea]

That doesn't answer my question.

[ he will not be the one to say anything first. ]

[transmit]

You'll have to do it twice. Just to make sure I remember.

[ still not answering the question ]
