[It's too bad that there's no use to exploiting this reaction, in times where Cat doesn't actually feel like his lungs are too small for the breathing he needs to do. If anything, the reason he makes note of it is out of exasperation -- concern? -- over how trusting a boy this is. Every time they talk he proves to Cat that he needs someone to watch out for him before he gets himself killed, or worse.
He can't do too much about it now, though. Cat wants to jerk away from the touch, but it would only make it harder to catch his breath.]
Y-yeah... [Never mind that it took him some time to get that out, and that there's a little crackle on his inhale now.] Maybe I'm pushing it after all. Fighting already wore me out before all this, heh.
