"Yes, miss," Moxy answers with her satin-smooth voice. Damn, I feel strange. She rose from her seat groggily, still recovering from the clutches of early morning fatigue. The teacher dismisses the class with a passively uninterested voice, and Moxy picks her bag back up from the floor. It was quite a sight slung over her shoulder: a pale cream oval made of soft fabric with two large, black buttons that resemble eyes. There were long strands of wool coming from the top and draping over the sides like hair, and a zip where the mouth would be.
