[Shalem's tongue flutters out. What a mess, isn't it? Except he feels absolutely alive, the blow he sustained has gotten the blood pumping-- and quite a bit. He wants a little bit of murder in the chaos he's orchestrated, because chaos, too, can be art. Especially as a precursor to tragedy.
He's always been a performer, never the producer or director, but he could get used to this! He pulls the tunic up over his head and off, and tosses it down onto the floor. However, the Nagas did ruin his shirt, so he sheds that as well, all he has now on his shoulders is the jacket.]
Is that it? You should have killed me when you had the chance, but I am still here and I've a mind to decorate this mural with your blood.
[He's, of course, addressing the Naga. They're his targets after all, and everyone else might as well have become background noise. He swings his staff more like a sword with a Giant Slice towards the Naga (8, 18).]
Haruka would expect a sight like that to be more disturbing than it actually is—it's not really surprising that Shalem is capable of ripping off the hinges after seeing how he was raised, eah, but...! This sort of thing in real life should, like, be scary! And Yet. And yet...
He is not going to unpack this right now. Maybe he can get out of this palace with his dignity intact. (lmao)]

Bloodless art is never finished!
