Fire Emblem: Past and Future Bonds (Private)

[thelonegrunt]

Severa just sat idly in the bathtub, annoyed at what she had been reduced to... but then again, she took time to feel the stitched gash in her back. Although she was definitely embarrassed by all of this, even the prideful and arrogant young woman knew that it was her own fault that she was in this position. If only she hadn't went to the training grounds that day... none of this would be transpiring.

[Diapee Girl]

As Severa mulled over the consequences of her actions, Cordelia was back in Owain's room, wrapping up the trash bags to remove the several dirty-diapers that, despite her best intentions, starting to stink through the plastic shopping bags. After opening the windows and hiding Severa's more 'infantile' supplies under the bed, she tied the garbage bags shut and carried them out to the trash. Thankfully Lissa and Morgan were busy trying to restore Owain's heart rate back to normal as she creeped out of the house and disposed of it all.

After allowing Owain a minute or two to get dressed, the motherly knight re-entered the room to grab some things for Severa for when she got out of the tub. Knowing that her daughter would not be happy with being carried out if the bathroom in only towels when everyone was back inside, she prepared a top, bra, and skirt for her, as well as two hair bands so she could style the teenager's hair into the two ponytails she always wore.
Then, reaching under the bed, she pulled out the package of diapers, as well as the shaker of baby powder. Though the woman was going to add it to the pile of clothes, Cordelia had to stop and just look at the infantile underwear for a few moments. The way Lissa had sounded when she was addressing the state of Severa's bladder and bowels gave the crimson-haired shepherd a serious suspicion that Severa may need these for a long time...if not for the rest of her life. She had no idea how she would be able to break this to her bratty and prideful daughter. To make matters worse, the extent that she had wet and messed herself before proved that small, tight-fitting adult diapers or training pants wouldn't cut it for her accidents. Severa needed thick, absorbent diapers, and Cordelia was doubtful that any other kind of diaper besides the infantile ones sold at the 'baby' store would be enough for her...

Running a finger down the soft, crinkly material, the motherly shepherd thought back to the knight before. Though she had been worried to death about her child's health, Cordelia had never felt so close to Severa before. The memories of the small girl cuddled up in her arms, clothed in only a diaper as she was held and comforted...the look of serene bliss on her face...just the thought warmed the knight's heart. What she wouldn't give to feel so close to her child again...What she wouldn't give to feel like her 'Mommy' just one more time...

Cordelia sighed and hid the diaper in the pile of clothes. Right now, all that mattered was helping Severa get better as much as she could. Her selfish fantasies would have to wait.
Soon, the bundle of clothes under her arm, the woman returned to the bathroom door and knocked. "Severa, it's me. Can I come in dear?" She inquired. It had been about five minutes since she left.

[thelonegrunt]

Severa thought for a while, her pride never allowing her once to come to the realization that this probably wouldn't be a short-term thing. She figured she would completely heal in no time and be back on her feet, able to kick those stupid diapers...

On the other hand, they did sort of feel good... not with a mess added, or with the babyish part of it, but the cushy undergarment felt kind of soothing, admittedly. Though this was a thought the girl quickly dismissed.

"Yeah, come in," she replied, waiting for her mother to do whatever need be now.

[Diapee Girl]

The redheaded woman entered the bathroom, once again locking the door behind her. After setting down the spare clothes and baby powder on the counter, she turned to her daughter with a warm smile. "How's the water? Are you still comfortable in there sweetie?" Cordelia asked, walking back over to the tub to find Severa still covered in a sea of bubbles.

[thelonegrunt]

"Yeah... it feels a little better, thanks..." Severa replied, blowing a little away from her face again as they floated in the air. As there wasn't much else she really wanted to pay attention to, Severa stared off into space, mostly at the tiny little bubbles floating in the air.

[Diapee Girl]

"Good...Well...I guess we should get started." Cordelia replied, getting the sense that both of them knew what was about to take place. Severa wouldn't like it, but she had to be bathed, and the bratty girl was in no condition to properly wash herself.
Kneeling down beside the bathtub again, the crimson-haired woman took a nearby washcloth and got it fairly wet. "Alright dear, I'm going to clean you off now, okay? You can just ignore me if you want, but feel free to let me know if it hurts anywhere, or you feel too uncomfortable, okay? I'll try to be done quickly..." She assured, taking a bottle of liquid soap and squirting it into the washcloth before getting it all lathered in.

[thelonegrunt]

Severa simply nodded, her head up and again staring off into space as she propped her head against the side of the tub. As before, she would occasionally blow some of the bubbles back into the air, again some of them landing on the woman's face.

[Diapee Girl]

A clump of bubbles now sticking to her chin like a puffy, white goatee, the motherly woman wasn't about to turn down the chance to return fire again. Scooping some bubbles up out of the water, she blew them up in the air this time in a little arc, her target being the top of Severa's head. Sure enough, most of them landed at the aforementioned destination, the other few clumps landing on the teen's forehead and nose.
Stifling a giggle, Cordelia got down to business. Starting with the girl's arms, she began to gently scrub up and down her skin, making sure to be a little more sensitive in the areas that were a little more scraped up than the others. Then she moved on to her legs, stopping for a moment at the bottom of the mercenary's feet to give them a quick tickle. Overall, she tried to make this a somewhat relaxing, therapeutic experience for her daughter, something akin to a light massage.

[thelonegrunt]

Strangely enough, the arch of bubbles resting on the girl's head looked strangely like a bonnet! She didn't notice this, however, and therefore made no comment. She laughed a little under her breath from the tickling sensation of the bubbles, trying to make sure her mother didn't hear her.

But her mother did end up hearing the small giggles that escaped her lips as her toes were tickled. "M-mother! Stop!" She replied, wiggling her feet before the woman eventually did stop and allow her feet to rest back into the water.

This did feel rather... relaxing to the girl. She didn't have to move a finger as her mother cleaned her up, her touch gentle but alleviating some of the pain in her muscles and joints. So she just closed her eyes and tried to relax, also trying to ignore the awkwardness of having her mother bathe her.

[Diapee Girl]

Cordelia was actually having a fairly nice time herself. Severa wasn't putting up nearly as much of a fuss as she expected, her daughter actually being pretty cooperative as she was washed. She was glad to see that the teenager did at least seem to be finding this relaxing, meaning Cordelia was doing her job correctly. However, with her limbs washed, that left her entire front and back...Things could get very awkward from here.
The girl's mother mulled over the thought of giving her a warning first, but ultimately decided against it. Severa seemed so relaxed and day-dreamy right now...Cordelia snapping her out of that would probably just make things more difficult for the both of them.

So, praying her child wouldn't notice, the knight began to clean her daughter's privates and diaper-area. She still kept the same gentle, soothing approach that she had taken with her arms and legs, so the woman hoped that the normally bratty girl would remain calm, or a least still. However, the moment she began, she braced for possible retaliation from the naked teen.
