[ The strike is entirely unexpected, considering it's coming from an unseen source. One moment, Clotted Cream is running towards some unknown threat, and the next his ankle is exploding with pain. There isn't even enough time to process what might have happened, let alone what did.
The venom works quickly. Within a second of the sharp pain, it's like he's been struck by lightning, that same sharp pain bursting through every inch of his dough, bone-deep and on fire. It sends him unsteady on his feet, stumbling right into the wall and into the piece of furniture that Affogato is hiding beneath, before collapsing to the floor.
His body responds accordingly with animal instinct - get away from what's attacking you, as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, it's his whole body that's attacking him.
In a desperate bid to get away from the electric burning feeling, he scrambles backwards with a series of panicked yelps that come out just on this side of screams, fins flaring and hands pawing at invisible attackers. It doesn't take long before he finds his back in a corner, only a couple of frantic seconds. Everything hurts. His bones, his muscles, his eyes, his teeth, his skin. His entire head is awash in throbbing, unbearable pain, and he feels like he's being burned alive and torn apart at the same time, and he finally can't hold back a true scream of agony any longer. ]
