[She's getting tired which is only natural. This fight has been going on for much too long. They know everything about one another. If she tries to dodge he already is anticipating that. If she goes for an attack he's expecting her to do just that. And the same goes for him.
She knows him better than anyone.
But she's slowing down and getting a little sloppy in her movements and he catches her off guard. Her hands go to his, trying to pry him off her throat. The Star Guardian's eyes close tightly and she struggles in his grasp. His words sting in a way that she's simply tired of feeling. That he can so easily manipulate her heart is her greatest weakness as a Guardian. She peeks out at him, still struggling.]
Make you do this? [She gasps out, her grasp tight around his wrist.] I've never made you do any of this... You saved me because you love me. [She stops her thrashing for the moment, feeling as if her words might mean something if she's not squirming and fighting against him. Not that her words have reached him thus far.] Won't you let me do the same?
Let me help you, Rakan...
[If he manages to kill her here... He would be lost forever. There would be no saving him nor would he want to be. She doesn't want that for him. For either of them. And if they have to beat each other to near death then so be it. She won't let it end like this if it can be helped but in case the worst does come to pass. Well, quite simply, she needs him to know how much he means to her. To never forget how much she loves him.
Her hand removes itself from his wrist to reach out to him, fingers gently brushing along his bloody cheek. One moment of tenderness before the battle begins once more. And maybe an opportunity for him to loosen his grasp on her neck. That part, in this moment, feels slightly less important.]
I'm going to save you, got that? You're fallen and I'm in prime position to catch you. That's just how it's going to be.
