A Slow Flutter

The quiet air felt cool against my face. I blinked, and then... a small twitch in my left ear. It actually lifted. I gently swayed forward and reached out one paw, lightly brushing the smooth surface of the wooden table. Beside me, a delicate pastel figure rested silently. I paused, resting my paw softly against the cool wood, listening to the gentle stillness around us.
