Even with the wind whistling in his ears, Aten not only felt, but heard the loud crack echo through the air. He felt his hoof strike bone and skin, and allowed his lower half to come back down since he knew what had just happened. Sure enough, when Aten turned around, he saw Jakub wobbling a few feet away, his eye already starting to swell beneath the first layer of skin.
Aten hadn't see Jakub collapse, since it had been quick, but the golden stallion watched his friend curiously to see if he would recover from the solid blow. Although he seemed to be in pain, the other stallion-turned-bull was facing Aten with a defiant glint in his eye, still ready to go on. Aten had to admire Jakub for his tenacity; not many had it when just sparring with a friend or rival.
But Aten had to display the same; after all, if one didn't give their all even during a spar, then during a real battle, something much more unpredictable, well... things could go south very fast.
Aten himself turned his hindquarters away from Jakub so that his wound was also protected, his brown eyes scanning Jakub for any signs he'd attack again. Both seemed to be taking some time to recover from their wounds, a breather, even though Aten was not very physically tired to begin with.
The golden stallion smiled at his friend, "Well done Jakub; you've grown and trained hard it sure seems. I am honored to have sparred with you."

This is essentially Aten's defense post because he turned his wound away and he's ready to defend himself.
