[ Kaeya listens to every single thing that Silco has to say. He finds himself caught between wanting to laugh or wanting to be the one to pull the trigger. It's a fleeting moment that's gone as quickly as it arises, leaving him with a heavier heart and emptier smile. Even now, the man has managed to find a way to dance around the topic, and that's fine. Really, it is. He wasn't expecting anything different.
When Jinx asks him if it works, his answer is simple and plain. He shakes his head slowly, speaking with a tone that seems just as unwavering and fragile as ice. ]
No. [ He levels his gaze with Jinx. ] It didn't.
[ Perhaps he'd managed to convince himself that it worked, once upon a time, but it didn't take long for the lie to collapse in on itself. Silco wanted him to let the monster out, but what monster is there? There's no monster in Kaeya, only one that he's pretending to have. It would have been so much easier if he'd figured out how to let go of everything that held him back when the man submerged him under the frigid waters, but he's still the same.
Just as brittle, just as cold.
How easily swayed he is by the existence of the Shard belonging to the one who betrayed him is proof of that. ]
