| "Nope."
I shuffled along the bed, finding a more comfortable place to lean against. | |

=I rub my chin for a second=
I suggest we start with hearing.
=I smile=
It shouldn't be that hard. | |

| "That hard. Sounds... Great."
Maybe I was tired. But everything seemed... Less... Serious now. | |

| (S) Well, close your eyes. And just focus on your hearing. Tell me, is our guest in the other saying anything in her sleep? | |

| I did just that, and listened.
"Nothing, just slight snoring." | |

"I don't know... Nothing." | |

| (S) Listen for the small critters, the settling of weight as the people above us move around, the slight rattle of plumbing. Can you hear it? | |

I wasn't very good at wall listening. | |

| I tried.
And there it was, the sound of a slight vibration, the patter of... Tiny, tiny, tiny feet. Then it was gone again.
"I heard something." | |

What better way to learn than by example...
=I sit and close my eyes, and slow my breathing, focusing on hearing, and tuning out my other senses= | |

=I continue to tune out my other senses, listening carefully=
Our sleepy house guest snoring, the rattling of old plumbing, the sound of little rodents pattering underneath my feet...
=I listen once more=
And I also hear a baby crying from five blocks away...
=I smile, pleased at good I still was= | |

| I concentrated, or to the best I could, on the walls. There was a slight vibration, the sound of... Quite a lot of little feet, which I guessed would be Insects of some sort. Noises could be heard from outside... Televisions? Speaking? | |

| I continued listening, attempting to make the noises further away clearer... An argument of some sort? Shouting? It was over... Something. The roads seemed quiet, odd. | |

| The noise was quite loud, which wasn't exactly great for my ears.
"Ow."
I shook my head. | |

| (S) =i chuckle softly= There will be sudden changes to you and your surroundings as you live this new life. It's best to learn to adapt quickly, and push past the pain. | |

"What am I listening out for?" | |

| (S) Just listen. Hear the world around you, and listen to what normal humans could not.
=i got back to my spot= Try to find location and distance. | |
