cw: decay

[Adrian, despite appearances, is fine. Clearly startled by what's happened, but no worse for wear than he's always been. The thunderous movement that was the serpent leaving the water shook the foundation of the lighthouse, causing bits of drywall both inside and out to fall off and crumble down below. Dust shakes from the rafters, and if Vash comes anywhere near the entrance, he'll once again be struck by the pungent stench of rotting flesh that Adrian seems to have either not noticed, or has been ignoring this entire time. Maybe he simply can't sense it anymore, after so many years.

He's not actually looking at Vash right now, as startling as that might be given how he was trying to rip him apart just a few moments ago. Because from where he's standing, drops of rain are coming down and pattering against his face, rolling down his neck, sizzling against his blackened arms. Smoke rises from his body as the water literally extinguishes the flame, and at the same time...the corruption within.

It isn't a fast process. He isn't even sure he understands that's what's happening to him. He just knows that the water doesn't hurt like it usually does, which is why he's looking up towards the sky as the colored rain comes down, trying to parse why that could be.]
