[ Aoba is suddenly aware of the missing warmth and excitement coming from Cathaway, and that a pointed attention is narrowed on him and the Prince in it's place. This has all gone downhill so quickly.
Knowing what's coming doesn't make the next hit hurt any less. It doesn't keep him from crying out again either, though this time it's followed by a sharp inhale through firmly set teeth. Pain spreads over his face, and Aoba thinks some part of his mind might have shifted again, but now it's more difficult to tell.
As he rights himself again, Aoba gets the sinking feeling this could take a while. ]
