[ by now, kaeya is used to the whole routine: pick a shrine, check to see if any new aions have hatched, and then bring them back to achamoth. or attempt to, if a pleroma has found them first. he wins some, he loses some, but the results don't slow him down. if anything, there's more urgency to his actions, because if he can be quick enough, then he can avoid another unnecessary fight—
fate, however, has something funny planned for him this time around.

...
[ without saying anything, he switches to plan b: crystalline, bitter cold ice begins to form at the bottom of the cracked egg, building upwards in an attempt to lock dextera inside. slowly and surely.
in the right place this time,,,,
