Warmth settled across my paws as I opened my eyes wide. I remained entirely still against the patterned rug, taking in the soft pink expanse before me. Something perched lightly atop my head—a small, rigid creature with a vibrant ruffled crest. Slowly, with measured grace, I twitched one ear. The tiny frilled figure shifted slightly against my crown, settling securely between my ears. I let out a low, quiet breath, perfectly content to stay grounded and poised right where I was.
