I did, though he certainly pulled a few fun surprises out. It was an enjoyable fight, but I'd rather not see him badly injure himself over a spar. I hit harder than a regular guy even without my Gift. With it, well...
[And Chuuya less 'won' and more glued Diluc in place with gravity manipulation until he yielded once he realized the spar was about to get out of hand, but hey. It's fair to be cautious.]
It was a dumbass move, but he's your dumbass, so if anyone can get him to sit his ass down and accept some aid, it'll be you. He told me you can do stuff with ice, so freeze him to the couch if you have to.
Gift? Oh, your gravity abilities. Talk about wild, honestly. I suppose if anyone's going to get the upper hand on Diluc, it would be you. I have yet to do it myself, I would be jealous if I was not used to it.
[They did finally come to a draw back at the Kamisatos, which was enough for him. Especially because it had made Diluc proud.]
I can't freeze him to the couch, he would just melt it and ruin the furniture. Fire and ice aren't compatible in the slightest, but I know another way, not to worry~
Well, it was an unarmed spar. If he was using his blade, the outcome might have been different. My ability doesn't do anything against things like fire, so there were way more close calls than you'd think. Wouldn't mind going toe to toe against you sometime for that matter, I bet it'd be fun.
[Chuuya is, unfortunately for everyone, always eager to test himself against people in a fight. He loved a challenge.]
....Guess that's true. Damn. But if you've got a way, then that's fine.
It would not be impossible, although he uses a claymore so you would need to rely on your speed against that. But if you've got the strength to best him in an unarmed brawl, I would say you are good to go. Strictly without his use of Pyro.
Me? I am not quite like you and Diluc are in unarmed battle, so I'm not sure I would be able to give you a sufficient fight. It isn't really my forte, not unless a sword is involved.
[He knew his limits and learning any sort of martial arts just had not been his priority. He knew the basics, of course, but that was about it.]
I do, don't worry. Diluc will probably hate it, but that's the fun part.
See, I told Diluc it'd be fine to fight me with his weapon, but he felt like it would be unfair. As if I haven't fought guys with all kinds of weapons before. It's not like he'd kill me in a spar or anything.
[Diluc's consideration was cute, really. A little unnecessary, but cute nonetheless.
...But also maybe that says way too much about Chuuya. Does he really have any place to judge Diluc for his injury here?]
So if you're less hesitant about fighting a martial artist while armed... well. The offer still stands. This place gets dreadfully boring, compared to my hometown. If it makes you feel better, I do know how to use a knife?
[Honestly, he was worried he'd get rusty without any fights in this world. A real problem, given his job.]
Oh? How fun are we talking? Gonna get the drop on him?
Well, it most cases it would be unfair. One wrong move and we could accidentally cut your life short.
If you insist, however, then I'll oblige. I'll use my ice sword instead then, rather than my actual sword as compromise, yes? Or a bokken.
Speak of the devil, hold please.
[Diluc had just come home and even without the warning from Chuuya, Kaeya noticed the subtle difference. Still, the heads up made it all the more easy to spot and while he didn't have the device set to audio or video, Kaeya was quite pleased with himself as got the drop on Diluc.
Very cold, frosted hands right up his shirt and pressed against those bruised ribs. After some fussing later, Kaeya returned.]
He is now seated on the couch with an ice pack that will take longer than normal ice to melt and looking adorably grumpy.
You say that, but I've been assuming you're both proficient enough that the risk is fairly low. I've been fighting since pretty much my first memories, so I'd like to think I've got a good sense of opponents.
But an ice sword sounds like fun, actually. Would love to see what you can do with that.
[He wonders about the durability and efficiency. Is it as sharp as a real blade? Is it sharper? How much force could--
..Oh, looks like Diluc's home. Chuuya waits for Kaeya to come back, letting his mind wander a little bit before the next text comes and a grin settles on his lips.]
Good. If he complains, it's only what he deserves. Though I'm almost sad missing out on his grumping, that sounds fun.
I use it as I would a normal sword, but it's a bit more versatile and allows me to use my Cryo abilities with far greater accuracy if need be. Also, if it breaks, I can make a new one, easy.
[He wasn't going to go into further argument over fighting an unarmed man while armed, so he had left it at that. Fighting dirty was not out of the question, but in a friendly spar, he certainly didn't like to resort to such tactics.]
I'm sure you will have your chance some other time. You're very persistent when taking care of others, after all.
Ah, I'm quite touched that you consider me a friend.
[Did they sound a little insincere? Probably. Kaeya was still in the "unsure" phase with Chuuya, no matter how well he got on with Diluc. It was just in his nature to take a little time to warm up to another person and truly consider them a friend rather than simple acquaintance.]

Don't worry, I'll figure something out. Who won?

Oh probably. And you say that like it's a bad thing! I like to look out for my friends, that's all. Surely you'd agree that's fine?
