Oh, that makes sense! I don't usually play games with sound turned on, so I didn't realize that it was a pause. Woops! I was just so confused, since he was standing there blinking at me. Thanks for the explanation!
I can definitely see how that would be confusing! :) Thanks for letting me know, though. When I update the game, I will either take this pause out or try to make it clearer in the text what's happening.
