Mm, up to you. [No, but really; don't maim him. Consider this exercise proof that he trusts you, Saix. Even knowing he's probably going to be smacked upside the head or something dumb like that, Axel's body remains relaxed and neutral, expression showing no fear or anxiety, so by the time the attack does hit he'll be able to accept the full brunt of it without his muscles wanting to react and defend.
Yeah, that hurt. Not bleeding or anything hopefully, but still, ow. Sure enough he does go sliding off a few feet away, landing on his side and skidding through the dirt, grass and gravel with more than a few aches. Perfect. After laying there for a second or two Axel starts to push himself up with one elbow, chuckling a bit out of all things.]
H-heh. Bet you've been..wanting to do that for a while...huh?
