leave a little sparkle

Hattori was the sort of man who napped sparsely, only within the safe confines of the bamboo. In a deep reaching corner where he-falsely- presumed no one would seek him out. For the most part his clan mates left him alone, knew he had things to do and thus only sought him out when they were in need of a word or two. And yet children cared for no such rules, did as they pleased and left the whole clan in a tizzy as they ensured they were safe and well-fed. It brought a new rush of life into the secluded clan, steering things away from being too quiet.

Shuffling slightly, Hattori's ear twitched subconsciously at the sound of tiny approaching paws. He idly thought he felt someone touching him, the slight rustle of moving fur but was still too deep in his sleepy haze to put two and two together. To realise he was no longer alone.
