Thread: Greed, At Times, Is Good (Lila Lupin & Erit of Eastcris)

RE Greed, At Times, Is Good Lila Lupin Erit of Eastcris Laressa smiled when he told her that he would never be too busy to entertain her. Perhaps this marriage wouldn't be so bad after all. The idea of being doted on was actually quite appealing. She'd have preferred love, but having a man that wouldn't simply brush her off all the time would certainly be quite nice. She was quite happy and thought that she was ready to go, but Greed snapped his fingers and the closet doors flew open. Each dress that a servant brought out was more grandiose than the last. Each dress was beautiful and incredibly intricate, but not one of these dresses was something she'd have normally worn. Laressa may have grown up in privilege but she had always been more drawn to the simpler elegant gowns. She found great beauty in them, perhaps as much as in the infinitely intricate ones currently placed before her. However there were obviously going to be things about this arrangement that made her uncomfortable. She may not have been comfortable in extravagant gowns like that. The thought of having every eye on her may have very well made her want to run and hide, but the fact was that she was indeed betrothed to Greed. She was to be the bride of what was most likely the richest being in all the world. With that title came appearances that had to be up kept. People expected her to be breathtakingly beautiful and dressed in only the finest. Avarice was treating her with kindness, taking her as his wife, and continuing to supply her family with great wealth. I like this dress, though. She mumbled to herself before sighing. He was indulging her by sharing a meal with her, so the least she could do in return was to pick one of the many dresses he'd provided her with. She may not have enjoyed outrageously extravagant things, but that didn't mean that her future husband did not. He was, after all, avarice incarnate. It only made sense that he would want to display his wealth for the world to see. One would also assume that he would want his wife to also be put out on display. He obviously had to have the best of everything, so one would believe that he would want everyone to see that his wife was just as exceptional as everything else he owned. With that thought in mind Laressa began to look through the dress until she finally found one that she liked. Laressa was not picky in the sense that most women would have been given the selection. She wanted something that while beautiful and eye catching, was not horribly over the top. She may have been marrying Greed but that did not necessarily mean that she herself was stricken by his sin. She finally settled on a rather nice black gown that hugged each curve perfectly. It was a rather intricate one-sleeved piece with exquisite embroidery all over it and two sheer panels. One placed just above the chest that led up to the embroider design around the neck and the second went all the way down her right side. She took the dress with her and went back into the bathroom to change. A few minutes later Laressa emerged from the bathroom. She was mostly ready, as her shoes had been changed an she'd already done her hair and makeup before she'd called Avarice to her. Her long black hair had been left down, and would have rested just above her rear had she been letting it hang down her back a the moment. However it was currently hanging over her shoulder so that it exposed the half undone zipper. She had managed to get the zipper up about half way but the dress was so snug that it was nearly impossible for her to get it up by herself. So she had decided to try and use this as a bit of an icebreaker. With a deep breath she walked over to Greed and turned around so that her back was to him. She craned her neck slightly to look back at him. Could you zip me up?
