A Gentle Pull

Stillness broke. Within my core, a heavy, quiet pulse stirred... and then, weight answered. I pivoted softly in place upon the cool gray surface. Next to me sat another figure with fluffy pink and teal crests. I cautiously edged along a gentle arc, maintaining a careful distance as I circled half a step closer. With a low, muffled hum, my outer pink ring leaned forward and gave a light, curious nudge against its ruffled edge. It did not budge. Satisfied, I settled firmly back into my spot, rooted and steady.
