A Dignified Adjustment
A sudden warmth stirred within my seams. I observed the surroundings with care: a vast expanse of smooth blue fabric beneath me and a neatly striped cushion resting beside my position. I tested my posture and found that I could move entirely under my own power. Extending one plush arm, I gently pressed the seam of the striped pillow to verify its stability. It yielded with a soft rustle. Satisfied that proper order had been confirmed, I straightened my top hat and settled firmly into place, ready for whatever routine might follow.
