[ sometimes ur roomie was hoping to show u something harmless and then that harmless thing proved to be not-so-harmless. oh boy.
kaeya is... honestly a little speechless before he looks down at the glass on the floor. beside him, polaris is in ermine form, having shifted quickly from his wolf shape. the only reason finley can tell where he is is because he is curled up underneath where some of the blankets from the bed pool onto the floor.
hiding. ]
I'm sorry, I... [ his words drop off. it's unlike him. ] Careless.
[ polaris is just there, buried, trying to be small. it's unusual for kaeya to want to be anything save seen, but it goes to show just how unexpected this was. ]
Did you also find out... the hard way?
[ softer ]
That was an unfortunate day. For Diluc. [ not for me. it can't be for me. ]
[ polaris will snuffle around eventually, somewhere under the blanket until he can boop up against the warmth of finley's body and just lay there. blanket worm. small. ]
It was my fault.
[ he sits on the edge of the bed, nudges polaris softly under the blanket with his toe. polaris, however, only flops a little more, so he leaves him be. ]
I had bad timing. I thought... somehow maybe it would make it better. [ looks down at his hands. ] I just. I don't know how I could have thought that ever to have been the case. [ it's a good deal better now, but the wound feels deep, scabbed over as it may be. ]
[ the hand on his shoulder earns a look, soft and quiet. kaeya works over the words in his head. hope. ]
Maybe. Hope that it might not change anything between us. Or hope that maybe he would end it for me, so I wouldn't have to live with the secret. I suppose my vision wasn't fond of the latter.
[ he unclips it carefully from where it's hooked into a belt loop, and he'll hold it to him, cupped in his palm. ]
It's what gives us the ability to manipulate the elements where I am from. They come to us in our darkest hour, a time of need, or when we prove ourselves. Mine allows me to utilize cryo... ice. Diluc has one as well.

but the memory is sobering. he can feel it deep down. the pain, the choices. but he's silent at first, just looking at Kaeya for a long moment.
finley instinctively looks for fellow daemon friend to see how they're doing. ]

You don't have to apologize. These shards can be a little invasive.

Ah...
[ he kind of does a wibbly hand motion. like, so-so. ]
More like it's complicated.
[ but bro, he felt the emotions there. ]
It seems like it was awful.

Sounds like a ray of hope in the hardest times.
