The AX are a beautiful scorpion i have a good collection myself ,you will find they are communal as well ,my ones quiet often cuddle up to each other and i have never lost one due to cannibalism which is good for a scorpion

they are not actually communal in the sense of the word but like alot of native buthids, tolerate the company of others, main rason for that would be the fact in the wild there is no real competition for hiding spaces so no reason to be very territorial.

Yes it hurts..first hand experience (no pun intended). The pain is not at the agony level, but it lets you know its there with continual throbbing. The pain lasted about 4-5 hours with the tingling sensation common with scorpion stings lasting about 12 hours.
