[ There's a blip, and something happened, but he doesn't have the capacity to recognize or even care what it was.
He stumbles in his next step as he roars at Dimitri, looking to find purchase into his shoulder with one of his claws, when there's a sudden destabilizing pain at his side. Childe's lightning strike — not to mention his body — hit true as his roar turns into one of pain, immediately swallowed up by more anger. The side of his shirt explodes, torn apart by lightning to leave a Lichtenberg figure along his skin, and he whirls around, falling to the ground at the same time, with a claw reaching out to dig into Childe.
His back is to Dimitri now, wild and furious gaze set fully on Childe as he works to push himself back up to his feet. To get a proper hold on Childe, because he had the audacity to attack him and that's all he can think about. People are attacking him now, he has to kill them, and in his mindless rage he's incapable of recognizing the fact that he's boxed in, exposed, ultimately vulnerable between the two of them.
That is, unless he can just dig his claws into Childe's arms to immobilize him, sink his teeth into his throat... ]
