A Soft First Tap

Quiet... all around. My little feet sank slightly into the thick, fuzzy carpet. I blinked slowly, feeling a gentle warmth inside. In my soft wing, I held my tiny rattle. I gave it a slow, curious tilt. A sweet, quiet click echoed against the fibers beneath me. The woolly strands tickled my toes as I shifted my weight, finding a cozy spot to listen.
