Just then, a Mulett faced us off in the road ahead, its hulking body surging with energy with its every step towards us. We greeted it with rhythmic gyrations of our hands and arms as we walked by, the older man making a circular motion with one foot as he passed. The large animal responded to this with a warm cracking of vertebrae in its thirty-foot long spine, sending out a dancing splay of pleasant and percussive reverberations into the woods surrounding us. I was seized with a feeling of pride at being seen with the old man, when a bright green light suddenly seemed to glint out at my face from the roadside over to our right. I joggled up to the overgrowth at the side of the road there to find a large green stone, the only unusual object in the area (since I had never seen a large green stone anywhere else in my lifetime until this moment).
The old man walked up to me, having decided to circle both legs at the same time by now, and he took the stone from me.
“Oh, well, glad you noticed this!” he said, wiggling his eyebrows in such a way that I wasn’t sure which thing I was being congratulated for noticing. I took a chance and responded, “Yes, of course!” and began wiggling my eyebrows in a similar manner to show the level of my understanding. He pondered away, wandering into the road as he contemplated the stone and its implications. I was startled when he turned to me and asked with a knitted brow, “Are you feeling any different? Are you sure you’re still here?” I wasn’t sure at all, for I wasn’t feeling very still just then all at once and for a time!
