sun has risen

Everything was... so quiet in the shadows. I blinked, or... felt like I blinked, and then my fingers twitched? Oh! I could bend my wrist! Right beside me was a familiar red-capped plush figure resting quietly. Very carefully, holding my breath so I wouldn't make a sound, I stretched my gloved arm across the fabric and gave his blue overall strap a tiny, gentle nudge. He didn't stir, but feeling the soft texture under his hand made him realize... he can really move on his own now.
