A Gentle Little Rustle
Everything was quite still, and then... I felt my paws give a tiny twitch. I paused, taking a slow breath, just to be sure. Leaning forward by careful degrees, my soft paw brushed against the bright crinkly bag resting beside me. It gave a cheerful little crinkle. The golden star on my chest chimed softly as I settled back down against the smooth tabletop, feeling safe and quietly wonderstruck.
