[Vile] Maiden of Pain's Redemption

"Sune's church suits me very well. I feel it was she who brought us together. Now, did you wish a special dress for your wedding? If so, perhaps you can go and get that made, while I go find a perfect ring for you," Orshallan says.

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

A slightly surprised smile takes to Loviana’s face, “If you’re offering… Yes, even a callous woman, such as myself, dreams of such things but are you sure it’s a good idea? They can be quite expensive…”

She quietly leaves her worries about Loviatar to herself…

"It's a wedding, it's supposed to be outrageously expensive!" Orshallan says with a laugh. "Besides, I can find a trustworthy soul to accompany you as a guard. I would never want anything harmful to befall you." Orshallan catches Loviana up in a tight embrace.

With a passionate kiss of agreement Loviana slips her own arms around Orshallan in her own embrace. Slipping her lips from his she whispers seductively into his ear, “Outrageously expensive it is then… Is their anything I can get for you in return?”

*With a laugh, Orshallan returns her kiss, and goes to inquire of an escort for his fiance. Several minutes later, he returns with an older, muscular man, obviously one of the peacekeepers, and probably a retired adventurer or guard.*

"Cedric here can show you some of the stores and whatnot, he grew up in Albon," Orshallan says with a small smile. "And I shall be off to look for something for you."

*When Loviana is ready, Cedric can show her outside. He wears old, but well-cared for leather armor, and bears a shortsword at his left side.*

"He said you were looking for a fancy dress, miss. I know a couple places that make things like that, had clients that went to some of them all the time. Madame Silversilk is an elf woman, makes stylish gowns I'm told, uses some magic in her work. And then there's the Ruby Rose, human-run mostly, with a mineral genasi owner, they do a lot of work in gems with the cloth. And hmm... The Enchanted Waterfall, bit of pretentious name, that's actually underwater, run by water elves and water genasi, they tend to make things out of water-beast skins and plants for the seafloor," he says, deep in thought.

With a soft smile and a friendly nod Loviana greats her escort, “Yes, we “quest” for a very fancy dress, but there is little need to hurry so I imagine we will find ourselves at each of those stores… So Cedric how about we simply go to the closest one first.”
After another hug and a kiss from Orshallan, Cedric escorts Loviana away as she offers a small wave at Orshallan.

*Orshallan kisses her back, and waves, departing down the street. Cedric skillfully guides Loviana through the crowded Albon streets, thronged with merchants and buyers trading all sorts of things. The first stop is the Ruby Rose, the shop fronted with fragrent cedar wood, polished until it glows like rubies in the sunlight. Fabics that shimmer like jewels are displayed in the window.*

*Inside, the place is a feast for the eyes, with illusions of fantanstic gowns once created lining the walls, along with some of the real dresses in display cases. All of the gowns here are in rich, saturated colors, beaded, begemmed, and bejeweled in what seems to be a fortune in gems. Such gowns would certainly let the wearer be remembered. Behind a counter in the back is a woman with ruby-like skin, wearing a gown shimmering like topaz.*

"Welcome my dear, I am Madame Rose. What kind of gown are you looking for? I'm certain we can find something to match your immense beauty, though it will be quite a challenge," she says with a soft smile and a twinkle in her eye.

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Loviana took the compliment in stride, she had long since grown accustomed to such flattery, but she smiled and blushed like she hadn’t as she returned the lady’s greeting with a friendly one of her own, “Thank you, Madame Rose, but I’ve heard upon good authority you’re quite up to that challenge.” Loviana’s smile turns infectious as she utters the last of her words, “As for the challenge it’s for a wedding,”

"A wedding! Congratulations my dear! I shall try to find something suitable for you," Madame Rose says with a bright smile. Ringing a chime to call her other attendants, they scattered throughout the shop to find appropriate gowns.

"We have several for you... now this one would suit your eyes so well, and the flare of it would truly suit your figure," she says, indicating a lovely green dress that sparkled at the hem with green gems of many different shades. Another one she pulled out was a slightly lighter green with an upswept collar of blue and green gems. The third green gown was much darker, and made of sensuous velvet, the laces and golden belt sparkling with emeralds.

*Another dress she pulled out was of deep royal purple, with an elegant waist and an astoundingly full skirt cascading with amethysts.*

"It would be a bit daring with your coloring, but the style and cut is so fashionable!" Madame Rose said. Taking out another, this one a pale sky blue, glittering with diamonds and opals, she held it up for Loviana's opinion. Another was a pink confection of pink diamonds, ruffles, and lace.

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

With a huge grateful smile Loviana’s nods her head in acceptance of Madame Rose’s best wishes but her smile was replaced with a more serious expression as they got down to business.

She didn’t know what to think of the first one, it seemed elfish but without the natural aesthetics she expected, the second one drew a look of apathy while the third induced a wrinkled nose.

This continued on until they brought out the pale sky blue dress that almost Loviana speechless and breathless in its beauty but her oversensitive from the pregnancy causes a bothered look to cross Loviana’s delicate features, “What’s wrong with my coloring?”
