[ He doesn't like to fight. He never really has. It's a necessity in the dangerous world he's chosen to live in and he's gotten painfully good at it, but there's no joy that hums alongside the adrenaline rushing through his veins and his face is a mask of concentration, a small furrow coming to rest between his brows and his lips pulling down imperceptibly.
The noise around them dims, his field of vision narrowing until it's only Kaeya's movements that fill up most of the space before him. Close range combat has always been a little harder for him than long-range support, even if he's trained extensively in both, and it means he has to apply a little more concentration in this fight than he normally would. Especially given Kaeya's talent in the fields of magical and physical combat both.
The other man moves forward again, appearing and then disappearing. Instead of blocking in place, he throws out one arm, dagger still clutched firmly between his fingers as he sweeps a wide arc around him, pivoting on the ball of one foot to complete the rotation. It's his turn to press forward after that, arms relentless as they slice up and then across, Eustace aiming to get close enough to be able to grab at the fabric of one sleeve and pull Kaeya off-balance. ]
