Footsteps

Hearing the familiar sound of heels hitting cobblestone, you immediately stir from your sleep, peeking out of your cage to try and find where the sound was coming from.

Looking around, you can't see anyone, quickly giving up and settling back down, until you hear them again.

Attempting to speak, your "hello" comes out completely muffled, the gag you had previously put on clearly working. But, it seemed like it worked - the footsteps were drawing nearer!
