He had been dozing off, waiting around could be a very tiring job after all. He was beginning to fall into the routine dreamless sleep he was so fond of when he heard the load cracks of a whip and nearly jumped right out of his skin. Since that was impossible though his startled reaction settled for a dive behind a barrel that ended up being more of collision into a barrel. Said barrel toppled over, as did he but Doki was too frightened to care. He stayed there, on the floor, hunched over with his hands above his head trying to stay safe from whatever evil monster such load sounds came from. Never mind that he
knew it was a whip, never mind that he
knew it was coming from back stage near the animal cages
and that he wasn't in the same room as it, he choose to call it a monster that threatened to rip his face off. He would soon conjure enough courage to go investigate the noise(or so he told himself) but for the time being he was happy huddling in fear next to the toppled barrel.
