Slatepaw : Writing inclinations

Insert better term here.
Another attempt at writing development.
When writing for my Slatepaw characters focus on smells and sound, reactions should be reasonably animalistic. Sudden sharp sounds tend to make Slatepaws jump. And get increasingly nervous depending on the smells that cling to people.

Sound example.
The busy streets of down town Seized-Port rang out with the beat of early Monday.
JinJin already out and active darting around the sluggish Monday zombies. She climbed into the corner of the street, Michael's City Postage, to get work. The hum of the city died down, Jacob waved her in, "Hey my favorite orange lightning bolt.", He handed her the first package of the week. Jinjin did her best to reply "Thank Jacob.", The orange kobold turned around and bolted out. The beat of the streets returned, moving with the step of the city JinJin shot off to earn her rent.

Wow, that is so much harder than you would expect. I read it back to my self and I know that it isn't that good, but it isn't ... bad.
