Really, he expected as much, but somehow even the expectation didn't prepare him for the shock of the way the dagger slides between his ribs. He can't help but instinctively take a gasping breath, going rigid in response to the sharp stab (ha) of pain that lights up his rib cage. Salieri's hand tightens on Discord's arm, trembling as he starts to go limp against him.
The breath he takes is ragged, the movement sending a jolt of pain through him, and he shudders. But...he told Discord, didn't he? He wouldn't feel any pain. So he swallows, hard, trying to gather himself. It's nothing, isn't it?]
