[circuitice]

[ he pushed him to it. he did it. part of him had been holding his breath, hoping that it wasn't possible, while knowing that it absolutely was. But, if he refused to draw his sword, Diluc would quickly lose his nerve.

and so, Kaeya's blood runs so, so cold. His hand goes to his sword, and he can't even really feel the motions. He just knows-- they're happening. This is it.

it's terrifying. He didn't think he would be so frightened to be at this point. ]

... Very well.

[ his heart isn't in it, but he's praying Diluc doesn't notice. ]

[pyronic]

[It's nothing but momentum and raw emotion on Diluc's end, his sword lit up in scorching hot flames, the rain hissing and vaporizing against hot metal. Even at the very end, Kaeya can't put his heart into it, curling in on himself in fear like he had so often as a child.

No... Rather than find it vexing, Diluc is somewhat relieved. At the very end, Kaeya can't help but be honest with him, can he? That fear is potent enough to taste, and though it rends and tears at his heart, it's motivation enough to swing his blade and unleash a blast of molten hot flames directly at Kaeya.

If nothing else, Kaeya's final words will grant him the peace of knowing that, at the very end, Kaeya could only be honest with him.]

[ parries that he should be able to make, he does. ones that are marginal, he allows to pass, practically begging diluc to finish him. And then-- the slash at his face.

his eyepatch falls, and with it, blood surrounds the eye, glowing red with abyssal power. unnatural. inhuman. he grunts in pain, and shifts a hand up to cover his eye. he had hoped that Diluc would kill him before he could see that.

but no, let it be the last thing he sees, so he knows that he was right to end him. no one this cruel, and this sinful, could be allowed to go on. and so, he forces himself to lower his hand, back to a more defensive position.

please.

end him. ]
