[ midnight reaches for kaveh's neck. of course his hand connects. of course it does. in no universe would kaveh allow midnight to reach for him and come away with the absence of him. the tips of midnight's fingers clip the line of kaveh's throat. his other hand wends into his hair. the gold of kaveh's hair is often described as a crown; the reason why angels have halos isn't to crown them. the bright flash of gold is truncated by the way reality bends around the clench of kaveh's fist. the greatsword apparates into being over kaveh's head with the weight of a sword of damocles. his gloved hand drags it down from air to earth.
kaveh's wings flare. they flare gold.
the reason why kaveh has a greatsword isn't for its range. if need be, he can extend his range with any number of tactics, lengthening curves and guiding vectors with the swing of a hand. the reason, then, that kaveh wields a greatsword is that in all his years of carving his way across the hostile sumeran sandsea, he needed its weight and force to crack open the bones of civilisation. it's that same weight and force that comes down like a forge hammer. midnight is quick. so is kaveh. that greatsword swings down in his hand like an arc of judgment, the flat of it aimed with engineered precision to lay flat and dislocate midnight's shoulder. ]
