[He can feel the dark power pulsating through his body, only giving over a fraction of itself to him. Ajax can feel how deep it goes, like there was a well of this forbidden power to drink from inside of him, but he doesn't have the full strength of it all available to him. Like he doesn't know quite how to unlock it.
His shoulders heave up and down with the weight of the armor, not because it's heavy, but only because of what it's doing to him. Ajax's body was already relaxed to let it flow out and form on his arm, but the tension left was making it hard to breathe, to move. With one heavy sigh, he lets that tension go, cautiously letting himself settle into the power flowing around his body. He turns back to Yoimiya, expression bright with triumph before it settles back into the familiar smirk he wears when he's accomplished something.]
Our last opponent gave me some ideas of how to handle it. That monster inside of me wants me to let go and "accept who I really am," but I don't have to capitulate to it completely. As long as I am the king and it is the servant, this power is mine and mine alone to command. At least, that's my theory.
[Ajax's eyes flash dangerously in a way they've never done before, and from beneath his shirt is the glow of lines forming farther with the mark- slowly but surely, the fin becomes attached to a body, though incomplete. He doesn't notice this phenomenon, only feeling how his abyssal energy obeys his will as long as he concentrates on the right feelings and mindset.]
So, what was that you were saying before? [He remembers the squabble now!] You didn't think I was as far long with my own power than you?
