The Sunspire in another life, my teeth and tongue would speak aloud what until now i've only sung

Remi stretched her slim limbs out, and rolled in the grass beneath a beam of warm sunlight. She loved the sun; its warmth was comforting in the same way that the body heat of her siblings was. It was hot though. She soon found herself in need of some shade, and she got to her little paws, shook her soft coat, and tucked into the shadow of a stately tree. Here she sat, drinking in the sights and smells around her, flexing her toes across the earth and feeling the gentle mossy bottom under her pads.

She listened to the birds sing. Chickadees most of all. They flitted around her, plucking small round berries from the nearby shrubs. Eep! One landed on her head. Its tiny claws tickled her scalp as it daintily hopped around her skull. Remi giggled, rolling her eyes to attempt to see the bird, but of course she could not. Soon another chickadee landed between her paws, and then stood on her white toes. This drew even more giggles from the ticklish Remi.

She might as well have been a bush. The chickadees took their turns landing on her and flying around, and she welcomed them with giggles and smiles each time they came near.
