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

RE Greed, At Times, Is Good Lila Lupin Erit of Eastcris Laressa continued to look out the window for the remainder of the drive. She really didn't know what to say to him. She was going to be stuck with him for the rest of her natural life so se might as well try to be a little pleasant. She just didn't like that he'd tried to promise her anything she could ever want for when he actually couldn't. Could he provide for every physical need? Most definitely, but she imagined that matters of the heart would be much more difficult. However she shouldn't hold his nature against him. He only did what was natural to him, and while he may have offered the deal that had place he in her current predicament, he wasn't the one that signed the contract. He hadn't forced her ancestors to make that deal. They'd done so of their own accord. So it wasn't even really his fault that she was stuck marrying him. She sighed when they arrived at the airport and he led her to the lavish private jet. She began to think of how to make the best of her situation as he led her around the jet before taking a seat. She decided that while she may have been unhappy about the whole ordeal that it didn't mean she had to stay miserable. It also didn't mean that she should be taking her unhappiness out on Arthur either. So with that thought in mind she chose to sit close to Mammon instead of putting as much distance between the two of them as she could. Laressa had pulled out a sketch pad that she kept in her bag that served as her purse along with some pencils. She was busy drawing when Avarice incarnate began to speak to her. She looked up and blinked at him when he mentioned that Hollywood was his town. It made sense really. Everyone there was trying to make it big. They wanted to make a name for themselves. Make their fortune and leave their mark on the world. It was the perfect place for Greed to thrive. Oh. She said simply. She wasn't brushing him off, she was just acknowledging that she'd heard him. She smiled softly as he mentioned that he could get her into the movie business but gently shook her head. The dance studios however piqued her interest and while she had shaken her head at his first offer she now smiled brightly. Not just because he had offered to help her get into one of the dance studios but because he had remembered. She hadn't even really spoken about it to him, but he'd noticed and remembered that it was something she obviously enjoyed. He may not have loved her, or even be capable of doing so, but caring, or at least seeming to care, about the things that interested her was a very good start. Thank you for the offer. She said in regards to his first offer. But dancing is much more my thing than movies. She added. I'm surprised you remembered. She added with that bright smile of hers. Perhaps this wouldn't be nearly as unbearable as she'd originally suspected. The meal provided for them was an easy one to enjoy, and as she was beginning to see that Arthur truly meant her no ill will, it was becoming a great deal easier to enjoy his company. Laressa was putting her sketch book and pencils back into her bag when he mentioned that he was certain he could find her a suitable replacement for love. She couldn't help but chuckle at the comment. You can't just replace love, Arthur. She spoke gently. It's not that easy. She sighed as she smiled at him. I appreciate the thought though. She said with a slight chuckle. And I don't despise you. My situation, perhaps, but not you. She said as she looked down at her hands that were resting neatly in her lap. I imagine this whole ordeal will be much easier if I don't try to fight you the whole way through. She said before looking back up at Greed. I imagine that fighting you for my whole life would accomplish nothing besides making us both miserable. She said with a sigh of acceptance. It also seems as though it would be rather exhausting.
