A Slight Coil

I lay completely still against the patterned bedspread, just watching the room quietly from down low. Then something clicked—my spine could actually flex! I gave my tail a slow, deliberate twitch. It arched right into the small green dragon perched beside me, knocking its wing sideways. Wait, did it lean into me or did I nudge it? Either way, it clearly wasn't keeping balance properly. I rested my chin down against the fabric, observing my coiled tail with intense satisfaction.
