Devices of the Devil
You walk into a place what you assume to be a shop depending on the scents of various lions, each from different prides. Beads and silk hang from the opening of the cave, you look down while entering so they don't hit you directly in the face. The beads rub on your fur and cause a satisfying clanking sound as they hit each other. The shop smells like herbs, spices, and incense; the heavy smell makes you slightly nauseous. You occasionally look down and take your every step very carefully so as to not to step on all the junk lying around. You see a slender figure swiftly trotting towards you in the cramped room. He starts talking when he is an arm's length away and starts circling around you as he talks. "Do you envy somebody..? I have some applicators for that, I can make you look alike." he snarls. He stops in front of you and starts talking again after a few seconds "Have you lost a battle against your lust..? Here are some nesting materials, or perhaps it is greed this time and you are going to resell my items for a higher price? Take them anyway... Drop the beetles on the floor or you are going to get the claw." he then jumps on an empty shelf that is purposefully placed somewhere that can view every corner of the shop. He crouches and glances at you from time to time to make sure you aren't stealing anything. * Once you leave that stuffy, claustrophobic place, the gentle breeze and the sound of a nearby cascading river feels heavenly.
