For a moment longer Cam still feels more surprise than pain, and then the burning sets in, like sunlight in their veins, and they double over, clutching their arm. It's not the worst pain they've ever felt -- that distinction goes to the moment of their Ascension -- but it still burns, even worse than the few times they've been caught in sunlight. They're on fire, and it flickers through their mind that if they look at their arm, they'll see it burning.
"I ... didn't realize ... you were a ... fucking lunatic," Cam manages through gritted teeth. It's not the right thing to say; their lack of self-preservation is showing again, antagonizing their attacker. But it's all that comes to mind.
