Just started this one off. Thought I would get some feedback on the hook.
Thanks in advance,

The repetitive echoes of the drip… drip… drip… sound pulled Chusunc from his early evening sleep. When his conscious mind realized what he was hearing, his body tensed for battle. No one in his clan would be careless enough to permit a leak. There was no surplus of liquid in their desert caves, so what little could be found got hoarded away for the later, even drier season. Chusunc allowed his outer two eyes to blink, but kept a constant vigil for danger with his middle tilak eye. The dark red-black images it returned showed no intruder. Assured there was no immediate danger, he released his taloned grip on the cave roof and plunged towards the floor. He saw that others, alerted by the same sound, were doing the same. Just before he struck, he shoved his arms away from his body.
