[I ROLLED A 10 SO RANG TRIPS, landing on his ass onto the ground,
he throws up a barrier to try and deflect the next incoming attack, laughing in spite of himself, bolstered by the adrenaline. he keeps it up any more oncoming blows, gaze fixed on Shenhe's face.]
Don't stop, Shenhe. Keeping it all in won't help you, or anyone. Think about everything you wanted to say or do if you were there with her.
i rolled a THREE OOGH so what happens is she can't break through his barrier, even though she really fucking tries. she even gets rid of the polearm after a second so she can beat the shit out of his shield with her fists. it takes thirty seconds for her to light them on fire, switching between abilities, but she does.
don't keep it in. it's embarrassing, there's that - burning sensation behind her eyes again. it builds up in her throat and sticks there. it makes her angry. it makes her want to kill something, and think about what you wanted to say or do if you were there with her makes her let out a strangled noise, almost feral, as she slams her fists down against the barrier.]
If this was weeks ago, then he'd relish this. He'd relish that expression on Shenhe's face, the way she's falling prey to those emotions she said she never wanted to lose control over.
But he feels nothing like that as Shenhe hammers blows onto that shield as if she could just reach down and tear him apart. He just waits for two things -- either for the rage to burn itself out, or for it to smother him.
At some point, his barrier winks out -- and the exhaustion sets in after. He moves his head just barely to avoid the next strike, and then reaches up in an attempt to yank Shenhe down with him. WITH ANOTHER 10 APPARENTLY]
[WHAT THE FUCK ARE MY DICE ROLLS you know what. we're ignoring the 20. the 20 is for i'm making the decisions now. if you really want damage you can have it but other wise --
she's wearing herself out - burning out her fire quick and furious. she's not an endurance hunter, she's a stab them once and they die fighter, which is why when he grabs her and yanks her down, she goes. she's tired. and it. well, listen, she's not so far away from her death that this doesn't freak her the fuck out. it's the fire all over again, standing on top of a building, back to the heat, exhausted, as he reached out to her and tapped her and that was all it took, to fall right over the edge --
if he's grabbing her in any way she just straight up fucking bites him like a feral animal.]
[I WOULD DICE ROLL AGAIN BUT SHENHE SHOULD HAVE THIS AND MORE
rang feels the bite -- the teeth tear into him -- and he thinks that this is fine too, this sort of animalistic gesture speaks to him.
but he also knows what a feral animal looks like when trapped, so he immediately releases her, letting his hands fall back on the ground on either side,]
You should kill me if it'll help.
[...but,]
But all those people who love you probably won't agree.
[she skitters back, when he lets go. she's still tired, and she's still stressed, but - he speaks to her, and she listens. kill me if it helps.
it won't, probably. she can remember nahri looking at her, frightened out of her mind, and it stops her. she swallows hard, and spits to the side. she can't be wild like this, she has to calm down. she can calm down. spar, and not maim.
[he props himself up by the elbows to look at her, bite still fresh and bleeding, then rolls himself to his feet to pick up his axe, and in an echo of their first meeting,]
Then hit me again.
[grips ur hand we can smashcut to the end of the spar flurry imagine i made u dice roll again for the rest of the night,]
i'm gonna give her like an injury or two because i imagine they fought enough for this though i guess i don't know if rang would heal her or not???
anyway yeah. smashcut to the end of spar where she probably feels a whole lot better about how everything went. god. hit me again, he said, and it registers like way too late. it makes her laugh a little.]

You let me keep my arm this time.
[there's a giant cut on it, well at least it's not broken?]

[she says, flippantly, as she braids her hair. it's a fckin mess, it's all over.]
You hit hard, when you manage not to miss.
no subject
It makes things interesting when I do, don't you think?
[angry, rageful shenhe is fun, but this shenhe is fun too]
no subject
It does. Which is good, because I find you boring normally. [stop don't be mean!! he really just brings it out in her, she likes the back and forth.]
