night was coming, the sun began to set. Slick slowly fingered the night vision goggles on his mask, he just watched the town empty itself out for a few hours, mudokons were going into their huts, coming out of the market places, a quarl between two young sligs would fabricate every now and then, but not much action besides that. but then some movement from the woods right on the out-skirts of the village caught his eye, he readied his gun like he was in a draw with what ever was out there; ready for what he had hoped it wouldn't be; instead, he saw two mudokons, one particularly bright green, and the other quite thin and confident-looking. oddly, a somewhat short glukkon was right behind them, and didn't seem to be holding or controlling them in any way; and finally, he saw a beautiful young sliggette padding along beside them, she was quite smaller than usual, she was also darker than most and her stripes were hard to make out, she seemed to have some kind of glitter around her eyes, and a pendant embracing her neck. he was quite tempted to approach her and try to begin a conversation, but some how, he felt better just not letting her notice him.
(sorry, temporary typers block, you can finish from there, but if it isn't done when i come back, i'll finish it; Ret, i hope i'm right about Smick; & Teal, i know it's not glitter, but Slick doesn't know)
