Special Herb Tea for Beth.
When he got back the old man got Beth another ‘special’ herb tea and a chair to rest on while her young cousin was out of sight at the back of the shop. He then went again to the back room to show the ‘orphaned’ girl, the little door into the Terrarium and the 'safe' lizards with which to play.
After a while Beth felt it was getting a bit stuffy and noisy and she started to feel like all the inhabitants of the shop were looking at her as though she should be joining in with their sexual antics. She suddenly realised she had been mentally participating with them in their orgies, had trapped her hands between her legs and had been trying to get herself off, this started to make her feel a bit edgy and caged in, also rather wet,
She got up quickly lest the old man came back and caught her, and went and stood at the door watching the various people going by. Such a variety of types, she’d never seen so many different animals and half-animals.
The old man came back and stood beside her, said it’s going to be a hot day, you need a hat to protect your head. There is a very good shop two doors up, with a large selection and their prices are very reasonable. Why don’t you go and browse and choose one while you are waiting for your friend to arrive. With him saying that, he cut her thoughts away from her young cousin in the back room.
