Phoenix Maplewood Nothing but dust in the shadows

It was a rare moment in which Laurel slept peacefully; normally she was loud and obnoxious, demanding attention a lot. Now however she was sleeping peacefully despite the prodding and despite her brother's wails and kicks. Her moment of solitude was quickly crashed upon when her brother, in his unease, rolled over and bumped into Laurel's head. This caused her to wake up with an indignant huff — how dare he?! — and Laurel quickly rolled over and away from him, then looked up and around. She blinked her eyes a couple of times, for though they were open her vision was still blurry, and stood on shaky little stubby legs while she looked around at the different blurry blobs of family around her.
