Crimson splatters groundwards from gloved fist, a lurid display of tantalising gore—the garish exhibition of a defense visibly breached allowed its moment to last in the limelight.  

A defense breached, and yet, somehow still a boast—even though their nature meant it was a quiet one. Silent, and yet, utterly undeniable, particularly when it had not been his doing and instead was entirely their own.

In outstretched, wounded hand, a blood weapon pours, coalescing into form with an immediacy to arch even the most unimpressed of eyebrows. Liquid crystalised into solid, unyielding steel, it settles most satisfyingly within their grip.

‘Don’t need one,’ is his response. One they’ve long come to expect but the reassurance in checking regardless had them going through with such a ritual anyway—necessary for them to achieve complete certainty.
