[ Blade definitely is...not prepared for that as his current state is beginning to slow him down now. Anyway, it hits like a blunt weapon into his side.

He doesn't even make a sound, but will definitely need to add an extra hour onto the pod he was going to following trial (which I can say now that trial is over) because internal wounds and bones are...yeah.

Anyway, he reaches out with his non-dominant hand and tries to grab her wrist so he can twist it behind her back (including whatever movements are necessary to attempt to make her drop the weapon.) ]

...Enough.

[ Blade holds her still. Yuri would never normally struggle like this.

With the battle having ended, his own battle fervor has dispersed, even if his mind is still swimming.

There is still something crystal clear that breaks through the surface, even if those previous events in that place still try to drag him under, and suffocate him. He refuses to let it. ]


This battle is over. This isn't like you.
baebladie: (you can't tell)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-07 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
No...it's over. For now.

You fought hard.

[ Irrespective of his condition, that is true. Blade does not speak empty words. Seeing the disgusting little thing peel off, he feels something like triumph. Damn, he never wants to see that ever again.

Or perhaps, there is relief, but like hell he'd admit to feeling anything like that. ]

[ Good. Only upon the setting changing back to its blank state does he finally relax.

He doubts the stressor has dispersed in its entirety since emotions can't be easily swept away, even with a powerful and destructive tide, but the motivation seems to have at least died down.

Blade finally lets her go, and, keeping an eye on her, puts away his sword. ]


When did you start to feel the urge to lash out, Yuri?
baebladie: (My judgment in the final moment)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-07 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I remember you mentioning about wishing to cultivate your strength before. When you had sent out that invitation out for a fight, weeks ago.

[ Blade folds his arms. He is not one to say it means nothing to try to gather up that much more, considering the circumstances. But, honestly, something about it seemed different; intuition, which he doesn't ignore even if his mind isn't exactly a pleasant place. ]

Though, this seemed different than before. [ ... ] Your desire to overcome your opponent did appear to be far stronger.

baebladie: (On that border between good and evil)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-07 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't deny that.

I am a goal post far beyond your reach at the moment.

[ Blade doesn't mince words, as usual seeing no need to.

It is clear as day; if she defeats him, she will have achieved quite an accomplishment. All things considered, it could just be a natural borne desire to achieve that. Though, he thinks there is still a subtle difference. ]

[ ...ah. At that, there is a pause at that.

Blade watches her expression carefully with consideration. ]


...You're referring to when you fought Dion.

[ The kind of helplessness she felt during that time...he doesn't think of the words 'unable to imagine it'. But, regardless of there being a difference in her attitude from last time they faced out, or an unusual difference, this emotion must exist sincerely beneath. ]
baebladie: (So sad)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-09 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

...What do you mean? To the apple?

[ Blade has definitely context for Dion, but not whatever this apple is. Is he going to regret asking...oh well, he is unafraid in doing so. ]
baebladie: (But I know you’re on the right track)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-10 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
No, you haven't.

[ Quite so. Blade remembers them discussing that this was her 'second chance' at some point...among other things that felt like so long ago that he wouldn't be surprised if his terrible memory recall forgot some things.

Even so... ]


And it has something to do with an 'apple' of some sort?
baebladie: (When you've caught on)

[ Blade sees the way her hand trembles and he reaches out just this once to lightly...tap? Her shoulder. Perhaps a reminder:

This is reality. You are not there — you are not experiencing that moment.

Even if hardly knows how give much support, he doesn't think it a reason not to try. Yuri has, so, so many times over for him — and Aeon knows who else. She deserves the same consideration, even from someone like him. As it is, the description of it is...

Blade can stomach many things without blinking an eye. But he is learning how much even the thought of those few he cares about can end up in such a wretched position causes a something like internal recoil. Or, rather... ]


...Disgusting.

Such a thing should cease to exist.

So that is another element behind the crux of your drive.

[ One can say the future is potentially open with new possibilities.

Whatever those look like. ]


...Why is it that these Abnormalities exist in the first place? And how exactly do they even begin to come into being?
baebladie: (talk like this)

[personal profile] baebladie 2024-04-10 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ I just flashed back to her dealing with the rat-egg.

As for Blade, he's listening intently. ]


Unfortunate. I could only wonder if someone actually tried to research getting rid of the nuisances once and for all.
