A streak of light, first, where fire trails in their wake, before this is extinguished into a smear of smoke, and they vanish into the sky, obscured by looming city buildings from anyone's position on the street.
Vicious, this fight, both of them locked together like two feral cats unwilling to break apart and cede territory or opportunity. Claws dig, jaws bite, and some maddened scramble of psychic wrestling transpiring on another plane of existence entirely. But Eimear's pain is easier to access than Lestat's, her body freshly immolated, her mind ablaze with fury, and even beyond these elements—
Muscle and bone crumbles beneath a hand at her side. Another snaps her neck. Easy in a way it should not be, not against her, even injured, even as his fangs find her neck and pulls blood from her heart, barely even drinking it where it flows past his mouth. In that moment of frantic connection, she might sense it, like seeing the larger, monstrous shadow that he should not be able to cast, and understand that victory was never possible.
He will deposit pieces of her into the water from on high, with the lazy apathy of a shark now swimming away from its own frenzy.
