The septon tied the bride and the groom's hands in the ribbon, and each of them say their vows in the eyes of millions and in God's name. There it was, officially, William T. Spears the Grim Reaper, wed Death's daughter, the Lord Commander Visenya Stark. The feast that followed the ceremony pleased everyone but the newly wed couple. William and Visenya had no interactions after the ceremonial vows, with William only eating minced and savory little meats, while Visenya starve herself.

William had absolutely no interest in entertaining the guest, moreover Grell Sutcliff is very unhappy seeing her crush wed to another woman. And she is not quiet about it.

To late for the pair to realize, it is time for the bedding ceremony. Demons guised in their mortal forms and grim reapers alike took participation in the act, the women stripped the groom and the men the bride.

Tossed together in their bedchamber, William is first to speak up, but not after throwing a bed-robe to cover the nakedness of Visenya, who's gown so torn it was left with only her girdle underneath sheets of torn silks.

"I will not force you to get along with me, let alone love me." He said. Visenya stared at him with an unpredictable gaze, possibly studying her new husband.

"I am your wife and you are my husband. How can we not get along?" She teased with a small smirk forming in her face, yet there was a desperation and seriousness to that question too.

"You are only my wife in nothing but name." William replied, stiff as ever, as if ordering one of his subordinates.

"I want this none more so than you." She snapped back. Visenya is a demon of wrath, and though rarely angry, she's lethal and fearsome when furious. "If i had the choice to bed you as the last man on earth, i would go chaste. Now turn, i can change on my own, Spears."

William felt his pride a bit wounded, yet he thinks of her as much a nuisance, with morality a bunch a teaspoon. If she make this work, maybe it won't be so bad. But this is Visenya Stark we're talking about.

Since when did she answer to any man?

And why should he be any different?
