[Dirk lets the soul vanish into nothing under his hand. His breathing comes down from controlled, steadied pace; he lets his mind relax a fraction.
The glitching means he really fucked with what Jay understood of how the world works. And it occurs to him that that could be a really, really fucking bad thing. He does the first thing he can think of: he focuses on a place where he was safe and secure, even if he wasn't happy.
He puts them on the roof of his apartment. There is the ocean, and there are seagulls, and there is nothing around that can hurt you as long as you stay out of the water.
He hesitates to call for Jay. His sword vanishes from his hand, but fingers that carried lightly curl and uncurl. Jesus fuck he hopes he didn't do damage. He didn't want to destroy Jay's soul, just lay a beatdown to a particularly shitty presence in it.
