Mina realized quickly once they got outside that even though she'd had the intention to put Tarek at ease by offering to take a walk with him, that her outfit was probably not the best to have worn.   No one touched her, but that didn't mean that they didn't make a motion as if they might.   Mina watched them though rethink that especially when Tarek's arm slipped around her.   Her own hand wrapped around the hand that was around her and holding her to his side.<br/><br/>When the direction changed she followed obviously curious as to where he had taken her this time.  She clung to his hand in the store, glancing at everything as if she was trying to take in every inch of it as she could.    She watched with mild interest as he bought some food, her gaze moving to the lizard.. male behind the counter.   It took all of Mina's willpower not to laugh at the multitude of colors the frill of the lizard boy was.   She wondered if he was a rebellious teenager, forced to work at this store for cash.  She couldn't tell if the holes or tears in his frill were normal or a "upgrade" like a piercing or stretching the lobe for humans was.<br/><br/>When they left Mina turned her head toward Tarek as he whispered down to her, her gaze on him not fully sure what he said  Something about the house.  It didn't take her long though to understand what he'd said.   She'd felt the stares and the multitude of pictures being taken of her, not just by children who jealously wanted their own pet.   But by a lot of males, who much like humans swaming up and down a street, where fiddling with cell phones.   Once inside at his question, when he touched the dress she bobbed her head up and down.<strong>"Mina..house.. No..." </strong>She hooked a thumb over her back as if referencing outside.
