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

RE Greed, At Times, Is Good Lila Lupin Erit of Eastcris Laressa spent the rest of her day unpacking some of her things and familiarizing herself with the suite that would be her home for who knew how long. Normally she would have just waited until he came to get her, but he had told her that this suite would be her home until she was ready to go with him so she figured she could unpack for now. She truthfully had no real knowledge of the future, but she didn't see herself being comfortable with the idea of literally living in hell anytime soon. She placed her clothes in the draws and unpacked a few of her more sentimental items that her mother had been sure to send with her. One such item was a musical figurine. A crystal ballerina standing on pointe with one leg in the in the air behind her and her arms outstretched in an elegant pose. The song she played was quite calming and had always done wonders to sooth her frazzled nerves. After she was content with the placement of her things she began to explore the suite a bit more. She was hoping she might be able to find a large enough space in the spacious suite to practice her dance. She didn't really wish to go out that much at the moment. She was still quite new here, but that didn't mean she was content to just sit around. She soon found that the problem was not finding a space big enough to practice but to find a space that didn't contain something of value. That would be something she'd need to talk to Greed about later. She settled with reading a book until she noticed that the sky was beginning to turn gold with the setting of the sun. She figured that she should bathe before going about getting something to eat. She went up to the area that would function as her bedroom and pulled a simple, but elegant dark blue dress from the closet. She proceeded to grab some of the items she'd need for her bath that her mother had packed for her, such as shampoo, and conditioner, among other things. Once she was satisfied that she had everything she needed she made her way to the bathroom. Just as she'd expected it was just as grand as the rest of the suite. Part of her wondered if Greed was in possession of anything that wasn't absolutely extravagant. She enjoyed a nice bath in the admittedly oversized tub. Once Laressa was clean and relaxed she drained the bath water and began to dry herself. She had decided that while she was hungry, and quite happy to have this suite to herself, that she didn't wish to eat alone. She figured that perhaps she could use this opportunity to get to know Mammon a bit better. With that thought in mind she put on the dress she'd picked earlier and made herself presentable. She sighed as she stood in the middle of the living room of the suite. She was going through the idea a few more times in her head to make sure she really wanted to do this. She was also trying to figure out what on earth she would say if and when he appeared. With a deep breath she decided that this was indeed what she wanted, and perhaps even needed, to do. With that she closed her eyes briefly and exhaled before all but whispering his name. Arthur. She heard him call out to her from behind her as she opened her eyes and she couldn't help but jump slightly as she turned to face him. A part of her was actually surprised that it had worked. A faint blush dusted her ivory cheeks as he called her darling. He seemed to be pleased that she had actually called on him. She smiled gently at him before deciding just how to explain why she'd called him. I- She began almost hesitantly. She took a breath to steady herself before continuing to speak. I know that you're busy. She said almost meekly. And that you've already spent quite a bit of time on me. A nervous laugh accompanied her words as she began to have second thoughts about this request. But I was hoping perhaps- She trailed off for a moment before taking a deep breath. I was hoping that perhaps we could share a meal together. I'd rather not eat alone. She said as she averted her gaze from his almost entrancing eyes. She felt odd making a request of the very embodiment of Greed, but he had told her that all she needed to do was ask of him. That all he wanted in return was her companionship.
