Eve returned to the room, wearing her white bathing robe after washing and cleaning herself. Sebastian stood in front of the dressing mirror, pulling the chair closer. He helped her put on her inner corset after drying her body. He had used lavender lotion on her, as he loved the smell of lavender on her.
"It's a bit tight," Eve told him as he tightened the laces behind her. He hummed but didn't loosen the straps. He helped her into the maroon gown he had picked and lifted it up to attach her garter to the thigh-high socks she wore.
"Your hair..." He said, pulling the chair closer for her to sit. He wiped her wet hair and dipped the metal comb in hot water. He gently combed her hair back, parting it in the middle and braiding it into two sections at the front. He tied her hair with a ribbon at the back and crossed the braids at the front, pinning them to the high ponytail.
