A vulnerability for a vulnerability. That much did cause Ben to hesitate even if it wasn't entirely intended. He had been eager to test his might but now he wasn't entirely sure it had been the right call. While he would be the first to admit his rush to freely take advantage of his regained sight had come from good intentions, maybe he should have considered there be another way to test his might. It was disappointing, he would have much rather resorted to combat than stand around contemplating the 'true' meaning of might.

Dropping the arrow for the moment, he decided to take a gamble to decipher its first statement. He did deflect the hit to the head, not entirely fond of getting his face smashed in or desiring to know what it was like to rearrange his face. However, he would let the earth aimed at his chest to hit as he decided that he would show vulnerability in hopes that the beast would get some sort of vulnerability for him to take advantage of. Getting hit square in the chest was quite the experience, his lung and ribs unappreciative of the action. To his credit, he somehow remained standing for all of two seconds before the pain set in, his posture betraying his calm demeanor as he let out the smallest of groans.
