Places who haven't been visited in a long while tend to be extremely dusty, that is no secret, when moving around such places it is likely that one would cough or sneeze due to breathing in some of it.
When such a reaction is brought by just a bit of dust entering the system, no one would be willing to try and see what would happen if more dust entered but sometimes, you don't have a choice.
Feeling rivers upon rivers of dust moving into his nose and mouth and accumulating into his lungs, a merchant couldn't even begin to regret anything as he felt himself slowly suffocating to death.
No air entered his lungs at all, not matter how hard he tried to expulse the foreign dust from his body, it just kept on entering.
Fortunately for him, the lack of air quickly put him out of commission, the dust that had accumulated in his body came flowing out, floating up in an unnatural way as it umbued itself into the dark coat of what appeared to be mummy that hadn't been covered in linen bandages.
She hadn't been paying attention to the suffocating man and was instead counting and appraising the various coins that were now her property.
The coins perfectly stuck in her sockets shined with glee as her dried up face showed much more vivid expressions than an actual living face.
Her toothless smile was somewhat silly and made her seem like an old woman, her beautiful, truly golden strands of hair didn't contribute to that look however.
Her hands her has dried up as everything else but still retained what appeared to be their normal size, no fingernails were to be seen on them as she carressed the coins one by one.
When she was done with the inspection, she crouched down and pushed all of the coins into her large mouth, the coins made no sound of landing on anything, not even colliding with one another.
She went around to take just about anything else she could find, the items too large to enter her mouth seemed to shrink to fit in.
The corpse of the suffocated merchant was left naked on the ground of his home as Greed left.
She had first come here to see if the deals were good but they weren't, so she instead decided to make some more money for herself.
The merchants she found were all relatively wealthy and has some fairly nice items in store but none had what it took to convince Greed to not just kill them and take their stuff.
Authoritities must have been getting crazy trying to figure out how those merchants died due to all of the dust being taken back without fault.
She wasn't very interested in that however, she only cared for coins.

"What the hell is that?!" shouted a middle aged man after being forced to stop his carriage all of a sudden.
"That looks like someone under a pile of random clothes" calmly spoke the younger man accompanying him.
"I know that, you know what I mean" spoke the older man as he got down his carriage and walked toward the pile that was taller than him.
He looked to one side of the pile spotting the hair of someone, looking at them, it was clear that the person underneath was huge.
The hair were grew and seemed to have some moss growing on them.
"Hey jackass, could you move out of the road?" asked the man in an undelicate manner, only to receive no response.
He could feel his blood boiling as he could feel his pay being cut for getting late, he calmed down as he felt the hand of his colleague get on his shoulder.
"Breath in and breath out man, no need to get so worked up about this" he said, making his older colleague look at him incredulously.
"Are you serious? This kind of thing can get us without nothing more than bread crumbs!" he exclaimed, appalled that his colleague wouldn't realise that.
"Sure but there is no need to be so angry about it, perhaps being more polite could get you better results, also, this is a lady so be polite" he said, crossing his arms.
"You can tell that its a woman? I only see a fat lard laying in the middle of the road, try and move her will you?" spat the older man.
The younger man cleared his throat and approached the pile of fabric, preparing to give his all.
"Hello, sorry for the disturbance and for my colleague's rudeness..." the older man rolled his eyes when hearing the tone he was taking, he thought this colleague of his was truly clueless.
"...But we really need to get through quickly, so could you at least move a bit out of the road, please?" he said, wearing the typical kind of smile people make when trying to not anger someone.
"..."
No response came from the person under the pile, she seemed to be sleeping as deeply as it was possible.
"I let you try, I won't be staying here for who knows how long, I've got mouths to feed" he heard his older colleague say as he seemed to come back from the carriage.
He moved forward with a determined posture, raised the plank he had gotten from inside of the carriage was put his all as he slammed it, not on the head of the person but on where her back would be.
The blow was softened by the various layers of fabric but it seemed like this finally caused a reaction.
"Are you fucking crazy?! S-" he was left with no words as the sleeping woman started standing up, she must have been balled up because she was much taller than it had appeared, standing at six meters, covering the two of them in shadows.
An easy thing to do at the moment as only one sun was currently in the air these days due to winter coming.
Her hair alone were longer than their bodies, her dull, brown eyes stared them down.
"I wish to apologise on his behalf" said the younger man almost automatically, there were no emotions or thought behind his words, it was a survival reflex as he felt like something was off.
He wasn't versed in sensing things like killing intent and such, he only followed his guts.
The sound of air being displaced was heard alongside a loud scrunch.
In a moment, everything above both of their waists had been swept away without a trace, their legs stayed standing for a few moment before giving in and falling down.
Around at the same moment as Sloth layed back down, making the ground shake a bit.
Without a word, she went back to sleep.
