[ It's easy to wait five minutes, especially while disassociating. It's only when he hears the bathroom door start to open that he snaps back to full consciousness, and Eustace's reappearance instantly removes a heavy weight that had sat itself upon Dokja's chest. He'd only just started to get used to not having Eustace around the house, and to suddenly have him back means readjusting quickly.
... Uh?
Whatever Dokja had wanted to say fades away as Eustace strides over to him, and the question is entirely unexpected as well. Blinking a couple of times in confusion, Dokja hurries to get to his feet, not wanting to crane his neck to look up the entire time. ]
What? [ He sounds genuinely confused. ] What do you mean?
[ He straightens to a stand, though there's not really any place to go with his back to the wall and Eustace right in front of him. Like this, it might be easier to see the subtle change to one of his eyes, or the way that white scales gleam against the side of his neck, continuing on and disappearing under the collar of his shirt, or how his canines have elongated enough to the point of nearly being fangs. A lot seems to have changed in the time Eustace was gone. ]
