[ Khara watches Inancha's face in particular, even though that hurts her the most. Vestiges of the younger au ra's electric assault cling to her form even as Khara strikes, noting the way Inancha watches her approach.
She doesn't see the Raen's eyes. Only Jebei's. A chill runs up her spine, coupled with a reflexive, molten rage that threatens to overtake her. Bobo's squawks barely register as her blade catches between the plates of Inancha's armor, causing Khara to falter, eyes wide with horror as she recoils.
Part of her vaguely registers that the Warmaster and Arbiter have honed their tool well as her eyes meet Inancha's, the look on the other girl's face causing something to burrow into and hollow out her gut. For a second, Khara swears she sees Jebei's face, and while she hesitates, she grips the hilt of her blade and twists, making a pained noise as her darkside let out a bloodcurdling scream behind her eyes.
Khara tries to think of Baz. She tries to think of his face, and how he'd react to this. She can hear his voice, heavy with disappointment, and she falters for the last time, heat stinging her eyes as she falls to one knee, the blade nearly slipping from her hands. ]
