[ It only takes a moment for the smug, but still perfectly human seeming smile to split. He grins, excited by an immediate bloodlust, because this is a case where he doesn’t have to hold back. They may be on the same team now, technically… But he knows she wouldn’t accept that, even so. This is just a fight within the context of an Oracle, so it means that he can truly tear into someone with vigor and with far less consequence.
And in this case? It’s fun, even. Just like the first time he’d stolen her eye, they’re both fully what they are, and so Hayame is deeply outclassed, so far as he’s concerned. As soon as her muscle twitches to let that arrow fly, his eyes fill with their unnatural, infernal light. He can see that arrow as easily as if it were no more than a lazy butterfly, so he surges forward to meet it. He catches it in his hand and turns it in a smooth motion so that it becomes more like a javelin in his hand.
How wonders how insulting it must be to be gutted by your own arrow. ]
