[ you'd think that a couple of hours would have been enough to ease the tension that has conquered his entire body, but kaeya feels restless, understandably so. it's all because of what had transpired between him and barnaby the day before, and then his direct actions borne out of their confrontation. a wicked side of him, one that's been growing louder and louder these days, tells him that he did the right thing, but he doesn't feel good about having to do it at all.
luckily, he's the type to know when it's time to ruminate and when it's time to get right back to work. barnaby's betrayal isn't going to put them at a huge disadvantage, but it does mean that they're working against a lot more than just time now. he stalks the streets of venera, keeping to the alleyways where it's less likely for him to get spotted. there are still a few leads to check so he'll waste no time meandering about, beelining straight for his next target's rumoured location.
it's then that he sees a familiar silhouette and tuft of black hair. his eye narrows. of course he'd be all the way back here, and of course this is how they get to meet again, after they spent ages looking around for lumine. he wonders if that makes either one of them really unlucky if this is just how things are going to be.
but it's fine.
this time, he won't grace ryunosuke with a warning call. crystalline spikes made of ice manifest in between his fingers, and with a flick of his wrist, he sends the projectiles straight at ryunosuke, aiming to grace along skin or dig into flesh if they ring true. ]
