[ The pain isn't even felt in his jaw at first so much as it is the entire rest of his head, her fist awakening what feels like every single sensory nerve in reaction to the way his jaw grinds and shifts with the strike. He takes it about as well as he took the other strikes, with a loud but brief yell of pain and then quieter groans that he cuts off with quickly because they vibrate through his jaw in a maddening way. It feels broken or at least dislocated, though he doesn't think it is; he's been hit in the head enough times by now to know which injuries hurt worse than the actual damage done. But it'll bruise and it'll swell, that much is for certain.
He catches his breath, cupping his jaw with both hands and spitting out some blood from his bitten tongue. Also going to swell. It's easy for him to assess this sort of damage, though -- less so regarding what's going on with Kitty. ]
Truth hurts, huh?
[ The words are lisped, spoken as clearly as he's able to manage considering the state of his jaw. ]
