[ kaeya is also coming to the same realization as rand. the newcomer, jinx, is someone who means something to silco, and that's so telling because... it's silco. the man rarely shows any shred of emotion, preferring to remain composed no matter how tense a situation is. jinx manages to frazzle him just by being here and by wanting to get involved despite the obvious disadvantages.
it's a mistake to turn and try to pass over his sword to jinx, saying something along the lines of how he'll make sure it won't be cold for her to touch, because this gives rand an opening to throw that wave of water right at him. thoroughly drenched, his white shirt leaves little to the imagination, and he doesn't look entirely too pleased either.
there's a smile on his face that's sharp around the edges. ]
I'd say we're more well-mannered than the likes of you.
[ while it's all too tempting to take advantage of the pleroma's injury, silco asked him to buy time, and he isn't that interested in making a mess within the lover shrine himself, so he does the next best thing: he's going to be an annoyance. he won't allow rand to get another hit in by blocking his path with an ice wall that builds itself from the ground up. the immediate drop in temperature is going to be noticeable right away, but he glances at silco soon after. ]
I'll keep him busy if he decides to try something funny. Go.
that depends... 😳
