Well, Shadow hadn't expected to be hit by that incoming rock, nor did he expect his body's instinctive reaction to being hurt. He himself wasn't bothered, his pain tolerance normally high, yet when he felt his eyes bubble with tears, he knew his body was working against him.

NOPE. Just going to curl into a ball and try to hide these stupid waterworks from him. He wasn't even hurting that bad! It just smacked him in the forehead! Come on!
