There's plenty of force behind the blow, enough to sting even if he doesn't have the angle or leverage to make it more damaging. That the rough drag of Mydeimos' fingers leaves his hair sticking up in every direction to make him look very much like the kitten he's accused of being is inconsequential. No matter that the vampire's touch had been gentle, Phainon won't stand to be treated with such condescension.
