Aah, no! Tok isn't special to anybody! Get away, creepy Slig!

"Hey!"
Tok turned round, and flashed the light in the eyes of an approaching Slig.
"Could you turn that light out? There's a native intruder down here, and we plan to catch him!" - the Slig was nevertheless taking no pains to lower his voice - "He can move really fast so we don't want him to see us." Flad gestured to some blood on the floor. "He's wounded, so he should be easy to catch, but we don't want to take any chances. Me and another Slig are gonna approach him from the front. Another guy is going around to sneak up behind him - you're welcome to help if you want."
"Uh - sure," said Tok, scratching the back of his neck. "I guess so... er, front - " he tapped in front of him " - behind, er. I guess I could take him out from the side."
The other Slig had already left, though, so Tok flicked of his light and snuck away into the darkness by himself. He was good at sneaking, he considered. Nobody would see him -
"Hm?.. well, well.. I guess this place isn't empty after all."
"Wha - " said Tok, spinning around. "Oh, poo-brain!"
The Slig was holding a knife, but after a pause he slid it slowly away. "Us sligs have to stick together, don't we?" he said.
"Sure thing," said Tok, shaking the Slig's hand. "Let's see, I'm gonna take this guy out from the side, so I guess you could - go - to the other side, that sounds like an idea. So - which side should I go to? The left side, or the right side? I think I prefer the right side - though if not that, the left. And... I suppose he may be right-handed - yeah, I'll take the left, and you can take the - aw, I suppose the - the - the left. Or the right. Yeah, you can take the right. This sounds like a plan! Let's go."
~BTW, I haven't managed to grasp where Mars is. Obviously Tok don't know, but...?
