As Persephone and Hades toweled off Persephone was tempted to continue what they had started in the shower, however when she tried to drop her towel and walk over to the bed she was stoped by hades hands around her waist, as he reminded her, "you have your court to address in less then and hour and if we start again we shall never make it in time."
Persephone huffed a little bit as she nodded knowing that Hades was right the feast was in a hour and she had to get ready. Turning around and giving him a short kiss she walked across to her walk in closet that also doubled as her changing room and vanity. She had barely entered when she herd the door closed by Hades as the orbs of light around the room grew brighter. Persephone was still in a state of undress when her handmaiden appeared in front of her.
"Oh my Lady! What are you wearing! I-I wwouldnothaveappearedif I had known! I am so sorry, sosorry,so sorry!"
Rosea, Persephone's maid had turned even more white then her shade form as she covered her eyes and turned around from Persephone nude form, her shoulders shaking in fear.
At first Persephone's thought to make a joke about how she was wearing nothing by the Greek designer invisible, but then remembered why Rosea was in the underworld, for looking at Artemis without permission. Persephone hurriedly draped a black satin cloak around herself covering up everything.
"I'm sorry Rosea I didn't mean to startle you, I just forgot how my nakedness might effect you, please forgive me and turn around I'm all covered now, even my feet"
Rosea slowly peaked over her shoulder as she straitened and bowed to Persephone her back a little straiter. Persephone frowned a little hating the respectful blank look on the dead girls face. Sighing a little she walked over to the closet of expensive dresses as she wondered what to wear.
"Rosea do you want to help me find something to wear tonight? I'm not vary good at picking out the right thinks like you."
At the request Rosea loosened up a little as she came to stand beside her queen, making a few suggestions on the darker more confident dresses. Persephone nodded at the third one that Rosea suggested as the maiden took the dress out of the closet carful not to wrinkle it. Handing it to Persephone, she looked elsewhere as Persephone took the dress to the changing room and began to slide into it, asking for help when the back seams needed to be tightened. They began to get ready in silence till finally Rosea asked Persephone how the uplands has been that summer, letting it slip that there had been one or two new additions to the staff when hades made a deal with a dryad and a mortal. They chit chatted all throughout the process of Persephone getting ready as Rosea did Persephone's hair makeup and crown, picking out the black and red tiara to go with the dress.
They were just about done when Rosea held up several different earring for Persephone to choose from. Examining herself in the mirror Persephone picked out the black ones admiring how they made her skin look paler.
"There now you look like a queen again your majesty, no more gardening clothes for another 6 months!"
Persephone rolled her eyes a little at the comment, knowing that it came for from Hades distaste as to how Demeter dressed her, always in simple dresses with nothing showing, usually making Persephone look 100 years younger.
Smiling still though Persephone nodded again as she rose from the chair, "its show time!"

Authors note: Rosea means pink in Latin.
The dress in the photo is similar to what I imagine her in, because I don't want Persephone to be too modern looking. Also sorry for the bad image quality.
