A/N: This side chapter happens during the events of 'Confined' chapters 25-27, Felicia's and Elise's day off while Corrin is out doing his things.
Half-beastdragonsoul2013: Taking into consideration those threats Velouria made to Flora? Oh yes. Maybe Velouria will pull off something similar to Hans?
See, with Velouria, I'm going with the logic of that, without her Beaststone, she would slowly lose her will to the feral side of her. Essentially becoming not much more than a wild animal… that wields an axe. What Hans is going to do is to… 'train' her so that she doesn't completely succumb to the bloodlust. So, yes.
Velouria will become a boss unit.
J-Dawg (Guest): A little crazy never hurts…
Yep, Silas is one of the few who kept his morals with him as he trained in the army… even Sophie is keeping her smile on. Besides, helping those orphans is a huge check for when Camilla and Corrin find out.
I agree, I have no idea how this will turn out, either… well, a bit. But it's bound to change. Aaand, no, not really, as long as it'll get finished while I'm alive, I can wait.
Velouria is desperate for release and as I stated with another review for this chapter, she's losing her grip on her will, going that long without her Beaststone is causing her to snap.
It's the ones who always sleep are the ones you gotta watch out for. They never really 'sleep'... always listening. But yes, Dwyer does have some significant plans in store.
Yep, I'll get to the various issues for the orphans over time. Siegbert and Dwyer were the only ones who had a noble status, but while we know that Dwyer was removed because of the negative backlash from those magical enhancements, we never did learn why Siegbert was disowned. Next is Forrest being more of upper class, and after that it's middle class down to slums. There's a lot of hefty stuff… like with Soleil and Forrest. Living on those streets was rough for them, so it's a miracle they have kept their good will.
Well, we'll see, right? Knowing that Camilla is alive is sure to bring their spirits up. Libra is definitely having it rough… Princess Camilla is probably the only reason he could keep up so well with expenses. Libra is probably struggling with keeping his head up, y'know like… Olivia. Can't forget about her!
Dwyer learned all of the 'typical' topics in his elementary classes… like advanced Calculus, Physics, and all of that 'easy' stuff.
I never really did go over Odin Dark that much, did I? And Ophelia Dusk didn't get much of a spotlight this time… but that's due to more of her having some pretty shining moments in the last orphanage chapter.
Elise is lying on her back, primarily naked, though the blankets are covering her bareness. She shivers in delight as she lazily watches Corrin, her love, slowly encroach upon the bed. Her breathing shortens as he approaches. He hasn't even done anything and she's already feeling her insides warm up, her face is flushing, and she can feel an… urge.
No, it's not because what he isn't doing now, but it's the thought of what he is about to do that has her heart racing. Just him… her… and some time in the bed, doing some 'pillow pouncing'...
"You're ready, right?" He gently asks as he lowers himself onto the bed, fully clothed.
"I've been wanting this for a looooong time." She quickly nods, her long hair bouncing around with each movement, though her hair isn't done right now, leaving it more a waterfall, er… hairfall of blondeness. "Please, Corrin, I… I want you. I need you." She makes grabby hands.
He chuckles, which sends even more warmth through her, "I've thought of so many things for us, but I waited for you." With an ease that he probably got from the number of times he 'sheet spreaded' with Felicia, he slips out of his clothes, leaving her entranced, if only sliiiightly bothered.
His scars, or rather… the few Princess Sakura couldn't heal.
He follows her line of sight, but he makes no effort to hide them. "Do they hurt?" She can't help but ask, being a healer herself.
One hand traces the largest one… if she remembers right, he said it was the day Xander first used Siegfried in a 'training' session. A slash from the Dusk Divine Weapon ripped through Corrin's armor… and his chest. A slash that would have killed him, had Jakob not been authorized to use a staff for. "At times, yes." He nods. "But, I'm not… we're not in Nohr anymore. All that remains of those times are memories, or at least… most of them." The hand moves from his chest to the blanket resting over her body, just enough pressure to feel his hand. "Only a few remain, and they are the ones I will forever cherish," His hand moves up, slowly pressing against her stomach, her breathing is coming out in huffs now, she can feel that 'urge' get stronger, a strange burning feeling down below. "Always will love and protect," Further, between the dip of her breasts, to her neck.
"G-gods, C-C-Corrin…" She pleads, but not truly knowing what she wants.
"I love you, Elise." He just barely whispers as his hand caresses her face, enticing a moan from her. "Both you and Felicia. I promise to always make you both happy… to please you both. In more than just emotions and spirit, but also in body."
"Pl-please, I… I want you." She can feel her legs part of their own accord, as her body seems to know what to do.
He smiles, "Not so quickly, love. I want to make sure that you experience only the best." He slowly crawls up and over her, and for a moment, her eyes flick downward. She gasps and quickly looks away, her face now fully flushed. It isn't exactly the most appropriate thought at the moment, ironic considering what he is about to do, but she couldn't help but think… will that fit? Maybe she isn't ready? She feels like she's too small for… that. "I'll be gentle." He assures her. "Remember, if you want me to stop or slow down, just tell me. But, you also need to know… it will hurt at first." His voice is coming out husky and in short breaths…
And all that does is entice her even more. Still, she nods, "I u-understand. So, uh… wh-what's first?"
His smile turns a bit more… lustful? "We'll start simple…" His face closes in and he places a soft kiss on her lips, igniting her nerves into a rush of passion and pleasure and…
Elise opens her eyes to see that the person she is kissing is most certainly not Corrin… but Felicia. The once-concubine seems as surprised as her. So, it's only natural that the next reaction is for Elise to let out a high-pitched squeak as she jumps backwards… and lands on the floor. Her heart is racing, both from embarrassment and lust. She even feels a bit light-headed and her face is so hot and… Felicia pokes her head over the bed, her face is not even a tinge bit heated.
She smirks, "You were having a good dream, I hope?" Felicia quickly shuffles around and extends an arm, helping the dazed disowned-princess up.
"Uh… yeah. Really good." She tries and to avoid anything having to do with her…
Felicia giggles. "That's the first time I heard you moaning for Corrin, dear." Elise's face went red again. "Granted, this definitely isn't the first time I heard you moaning… in fact, I…"
"Felicia! Please!" Elise pleads.
"Sorry." She pats Elise's head.
Elise hums at the feeling, then looks around and… "Huh, where's Corrin?"
"He left a few hours ago." She smoothly replies. "He wanted us to have today for ourselves, so… I went back to sleep, since you wouldn't be up for another few hours." She then starts hand-brushing Elise's hair, the natural cold from her hands sending a pleasing wave throughout Elise, "I love you, Elise."
"I… love you too, Felicia." She responds. "So… whaddya wanna do?"
Felicia hesitates for a moment, "I'm… not too sure, honestly." Elise tilts her head at her uncertainty.
"Felicia? When was the last time you did something for yourself?" She innocently asks.
The Ice Tribe pauses, opening her mouth, then closing… and back open, "Flora was busy with learning from our father," The air turns far more serious, "She aspired more for the Tribe, while I wanted to do more for our Dragon. So, she learned from father, the chieftain. I learned from our mother, the Ice Communer. However, I was off for the day, so I was outside, enjoying the use of my Ice magic. I was making some snowflakes and building moderate sized objects out of snow." Her voice turns… pained? "That's when I heard a shout, not that I could make it out what was being said. But, a few minutes later, Nohrian soldiers were overtaking the Tribe."
"Felicia, if you don't wanna continue…" Is that really the last time she played around?
Yet, she shakes her head, "No. It's something that's been bothering me, and I said I would stop bottling everything inside." That's right, Elise remembers that. "The King decreed that we stop worshiping our Dragon… they wanted us to stop worshiping the Ice Dragon!" She suddenly was angered… not that Elise could blame her. "Of course we resisted, and they… they started assaulting us. One by one, our people were bound… even me. Everyone. They lined us up, and I… I thought we were all going to…" Tears, but unlike most, Felicia cries small crystals. "But no, they brought our mother up to the front. A nasty looking man with a large axe stood next to her. He looked happy that he was going to execute mother… and that's what he did. There was no speech about how we should have surrendered, nothing about how resistance is futile. He just cleaved her without hesitating."
"G-gods…" Elise breathes. To… to have her own mother, "I…"
"And as if that wasn't enough, Flora and I were to be taken away. The rest of the Tribe was freed." She continues, "That's when I was forced to train as a Maid, but I was 'too clumsy' and instead they… I…" Felicia finally stops, her sorrow overwhelming her.
"Shh…" Elise tries to calm her down, as the air temperature cools down. "I'm here for you." A short pause, before she flashes a huge smile, "So, let's do something today! I don't wanna lay around all day!" Discarding the blanket, Elise stands to reveal… a flower-printed sleeping gown. She… isn't quite comfortable enough to sleep, well…
Bare. Like Felicia does. To that effect, Elise looks away with a small flush as Felicia gets out of bed to dress herself. "Elise?" Felicia steps forward, Elise turns around and…
Well, Felicia hasn't exactly finished pulling up her clothes yet, so Elise got a glimpse of her breasts… and considering the knowing look that's on the other's face, she meant to do that. "Uh-huh?" Elise tilts her head.
"Well… how about… shopping?" She suggests. "Maybe we could get our love something?"
"Liiiike?" Elise nearly sings while bobbing her head. "Oh! How about some flowers?"
"...That sounds like something he would get us." Felicia pauses for a moment, "Still, I like the idea. The women giving a man some flowers for once…" She then nods, "Let's do that, then." She finishes dressing herself, "We could also… talk, too?"
Elise's eyes widen and she gasps, "You betcha! Oh, just lemme get some better clothes, first!" She then hops on over to the dresser, which contains her…
Two kimonos and one Nohrian dress which has seen better days. The Nohrian dress doubles as her Troubadour attire, she hasn't had it repaired since before she left for the Bottomless Canyon, and when she arrived as one of the fiances to the Hoshidan Prince Corrin, she has since received two kimonos. One is courtesy of Queen Mikoto, which is a lovely red like the Hoshidan royal color, but also a watery-blue, which reflects the Water Dragon.
The second kimono, however, was gifted to her by none other than big sister Camilla! With a combination of colored threads, she has made her an even deeper mix. In addition to the previous royal Hoshidan red and water-blue, Camilla has weaved in the more familiar Nohrian royal purple and some lines of midnight-black. Essentially, this kimono is the de facto combination of Hoshido and Nohr… with some Water Tribe mixed in.
It's only obvious she chose the second one.
"Um… wouldja mind turning around for a bit?" Elise sheepishly asks.
"Dear… are you still concerned about your looks?" Felicia counters as she walks closer. "Would you trust me with something?"
Elise's breath catches, "I… what do you want to do?"
"Here…" Felicia slightly lowers herself and touches Elise's sleeping gown. "I changed Corrin's clothes plenty of time… may I do yours?"
"Uh, s-sure?"
"If you don't want me to, just say no."
"Felicia? Go right ahead." She still sounds uncertain, but… she nods.
With an efficiency that only proves that Felicia has done this many times, Elise's sleeping gown slips off in a matter of seconds, leaving her temporarily bare… but fully flushed on her face. With only the slightest amounts of red cheeks, Felicia continues by smoothly plucking the kimono and begins placing it onto Elise. And just like that, her new outfit is on.
"See?" Felicia smiles, proud of her swiftness.
"Wow… I barely even noticed that I was… well, naked." Elise, while still flushed, nods with a smile. "And, uh… how often did you do this for him?"
Without a hint of shame, Felicia states, "After he woke up, after I serviced him, after his bath, before and after dinner, and once before he readies for bed. So, about… seven times a day?"
Elise whistles, "I can tell…" A pause, "And how many times did you and him, 'sheet spread' a day?"
Felicia starts giggling, "You mean have sex?" She then pokes her side, "C'mon, just say it once."
Elise puffs her cheek out and huffs, "How many times a day did you and Corrin… um. Had sex?" She immediately looks away.
"On average, two. Once in the morning and once before bed. Usually I gave him a blowjob as he woke up, and I would give him my whole body before it was time to sleep. There were the days when he would be tenser, and I would make sure to service him at least two more times on those days."
"W-w-woah, like… four times… in one day?!" She exclaims, "Is… that even possible?"
"Oh sweet Elise… there are many things you don't know. It is very possible to go many times within a short period… if you know how to properly stimulate your partner." How can she say all of that without any sort of shame?
"S-So… he could… with you, then… with me… and again?" Elise tilts her head.
To only add to her flustered state, Felicia giggles, "Are you interested? Perhaps you're finally ready?"
Elise holds for a moment. "Tonight, then? How about tonight?" She quickly asks.
"We'll ask him tonight, then. Because, I must admit… I'm starting to feel… wound up." Felicia shivers, "It's been a while."
"...It's barely been a week or two since we were at the Fire Tribe village."
Another giggle, "Elise… once you know how wonderful it feels, then every day without it starts to build up very quickly. It doesn't even feel like a 'want' anymore, I… I need his touch." And at last, Felicia's face is flushed. "I need to feel him."
Gulping, and feeling a bit heated herself, Elise decides to redirect the topic, "So… shopping?"
Felicia nods, "Shopping it is."
The two fiances didn't even make it out of the castle before they encountered someone… who surprisingly is not big sister Camilla. Well, they didn't know this person directly, but the person sorta knew them through her liege, Lord Takumi. Oboro, the Spear Fighter, initially regarded the two women with a fierce scowl, which caused these events to happen…
Elise squealed and stepped behind Felicia. Felicia, in response to Elise's sudden distress, pulls out Khione's Scale… Oboro, in response to Felicia pulling out a weapon, unsheathes her steel-forged Naginata.
"..." Oboro simply stares. "Nohrians."
"I am born in Nohr, yes… but I was raised in the Ice Tribe." Felicia firmly states, much unlike the kinder and slightly suggestive woman she was before they left their room.
"...Felicia?" Oboro slowly relaxes, though her weapon remains unsheathed. "Then, you're Elise? Lord Corrin's… fiances?"
"We are, yes." Felicia nods and Elise slowly peaks her head out.
"My apologies." Oboro finally sheathes her weapon, "I… have had a bad experience with Nohr." The tone in her voice suggests that no more will be spoken of it. "Pardon me." She turns and…
"Hey, uh… Oboro?" Elise asks, causing the Spear Fighter to stop, "Um, is that a… teddy bear? On your back?"
"Is there a problem?" The rise in her tone makes her sound embarrassed.
"No, it's just… I use to have one, too… his name was Mr. Fluffbottoms. He helped gave me good dreams back in… Nohr."
"...His name is Mr. Cuddles." Oboro admits, "He's been… separated from his brother, Mr. Snuggles."
Elise gasps, "Oh no… is Mr. Snuggles okay?!"
A single chuckle leaves Oboro, "Mr. Snuggles is in good hands, the owner just asked me to take care of Mr. Cuddles for a while," and now her voice sounds pained, "So, Mr. Cuddles is with me. I've been giving him careful stitchwork and plenty of high-quality stuffing… so that the day he's reunited with Mr. Snuggles, he'll look even better." A short pause, "I need to go. It was… good meeting you." She rushes off.
"Oboro has had a lot of trouble." Felicia states.
"Huh? You know her?"
Yet, she shakes her head, "No, it's her voice. I can pick up so many conflicting emotions in her voice. Not to mention her body language."
"Hey… Felicia?" Elise asks, "I wanna make her something."
"Is that so?"
"She didn't seem really happy, and I don't like that… I wanna make her happy!" Elise smiles brilliantly. "How about this, you get Corrin a present, and I get Oboro something?"
"By Her Ice… Elise. You are so thoughtful and selfless." Felicia sighs with a smile. "That sounds like a wonderful idea, and I'm sure Corrin will simply be happy just from the thought of you helping someone else."
"So… it's like I'm getting him a gift?" Elise tilts her head.
Felicia bobs her head, "Technically? I guess?"
"Simply giving one's time and attention can be some of the greatest gifts…" The two startle as a soothing voice sounds out from behind them. "Good afternoon, Felicia… Elise." Queen Mikoto. "Please, don't concern yourselves with formality right now." She lets out a gentle laugh.
"...I'm afraid I can't. You are the Queen… your Highness." Felicia bows.
"And… I grew up a Princess, so… it's an honor to see you, Queen Mikoto." Elise bows.
Queen Mikoto sighs, "Well, I tried… It's good to see you both so up in spirits." The two women rise up, "Now… what's this about gifts, hm?" With that smile on her face, Felicia is assuming she heard them.
"Well… Felicia and I were thinking about getting our love a gift, but then I saw how… not-so-happy Oboro was, and I wanted to get her a gift, and… well, we didn't really bring the treasury with us." Elise winks and giggles.
"You are short-funded, then?" Queen Mikoto smiles. "Well, I can't simply let that happen, now can I?" She unhooks one of the bags on her hip, "Here."
"U-u-uh… this is, like… way too much." Elise physically steps back.
"We appreciate the thought, your Highness, but we cannot possibly accept an entire sack's worth of gold for some random shopping." Felicia declines with a calmer response.
Queen Mikoto laughs, "Well, I did bring the treasury with me, so… here." Turning around Elise's jest, the Queen pushes the bag of gold further towards them. "Please, this is barely a scratch in the reserves. Besides," She then winks, "You two are going to be my daughter-in-laws, remember?"
Who knew a Queen could be so… playful? "Well, if you insist." Felicia caves in. "Thank you."
She smiles, "It's of no worry, now… I'm afraid I have to cut this short. One of my retainers is bringing a report to me, and I should probably be in the throne room before she arrives." She waves as she walks away, "Have a wonderful time, you two."
Despite accepting the gold, all Felicia could really do is stare at it. "Gods, I… I don't even… the Ice Tribe never had a use for much gold. We had all we need within reach."
"I usually had everything purchased for me." Elise nods, "Like, what can't we buy with this much? There must be like… a bajillion gold coins in here!"
Felicia giggles, "Maybe a hundred or so." She goes to hook the sack of gold onto her own… inside a hidden pocket, actually.
"Heeey… since when did you have secret pockets?" Elise sorta-gripes.
Without missing a beat, she responded with, "Since I have taken up Ninja training." She walks off.
"Oh, I suppose that makes…" A pause as Felicia's words catch up with Elise, "Wait, whaaaaat?! Since when? Felicia! Felicia!? Come right back here and tell me… Felicia~!" Elise jogs to just catch up. "C'mon, tell me…"
"It's a secret, dear." Felicia winks, "A Ninja should never share secrets."
Elise pouts, but then smiles, "Oh, so you also won't tell me how to get Corrin all… 'excited'?"
The Ice Tribe woman falters, "...some secrets remain hidden." She admits. "You really are looking forward to tonight, aren't you?"
"Yup!" She quickly nods. "Tonight's the night… I know it! But first, we got shopping to do!"
The market is as lively as it was the last time they walked around it. Felicia still isn't quite used to the amount of people here, her time in the Ice Tribe had less people than the amount of people around her right now. Even during her time in both the Northern Fortress and Castle Krakenburg hadn't held nearly this amount of people.
Elise, on the other hand, has seen this amount of people concentrated into one spot, but the problem is that… that was during her visits to the slums. Needless to say, nobody out here is starving, begging, or… dead. A welcome difference to be sure.
"So… what first?" Elise asks, "'Cause I dunno, that gold's got me kinda… blank." Smiling, Felicia raises one of her hands, "Huh?" Down goes the thumb, then one finger, two, "Whaddya counting down?" One…
Elise's stomach growls.
"How about some lunch?" The Ice-Blessed suggests.
"Gods Felicia… how can you be so accurate?" Elise tilts her head as Felicia takes the lead… one hand holding the other's.
"I guess I have a sixth sense for you and Corrin." Felicia shrugs it off. "Lunch, hm…"
"Heya! 'Scuse me, mister." Elise suddenly calls out some random person. "Do ya know any good lunch places?"
The man looks Elise, "Well, there's a popular sushi stand not too far from here. It's a bit off to the side, near the Dawn Dragon plaza."
"Sushi?" Elise looks at Felicia. "Would you like some sushi?"
"That sounds lovely." She nods.
Yet, they only took a few steps before Elise asked, "What's sushi? I never heard of it in Nohr. Did the Ice Tribe have it?"
"Well… do you like fish?"
Elise hums, "I dunno, never had it. All the waters in and near Krakenburg are really dirty and a lot of the fish need special treatment to properly eat… which most of the nobles don't even bother with trying to catch them, so…" A short pause, "That means there are so many people in the slums who eat that fish without proper treatment…" Elise trails off.
"...I understand." Felicia nods. "Well, in case you end up not liking sushi, we can always just go somewhere else."
"Alright, sounds good to me." Elise nods. "Let's get some sushi!" With their destination set, the two resume walking through the city. "So, Felicia? You said that instead of hot springs you took… frozen baths?"
Felicia smiles, "That's right. We would chip away at the top frozen layer of the lake, then jump in!" The very thought of such ice cold water puts her in a good mood…
But makes Elise cringe. "I'd think I would turn into a popsicle if I did that." A pause, "I wonder if Rinkah takes like… lava baths?"
"I… don't think so?" Felicia tilts her head, "That would be like me encasing myself in ice. A bit too extreme."
"But… the water is already all steamy and stuff in the hot springs, so what's the next level up?" Elise huffs.
"Boiling water?" Felicia suggests.
"...oh. I guess I can see Rinkah doing that." Looking slightly upwards, the two can see the massive statue of Ushas, Her wings covering the town square. "So, it's… oh, there it is!" Elise points out a small restaurant that has a fair amount of people around it. "Oof, looks super busy."
"Would you rather go to a different place, then?" Felicia asks.
"Nah, I wanna try sushi." The soon-to-be Hoshidan princes resolves as she takes the lead. Felicia smiles as she follows the bright and happy woman. The two walk across the square and to the restaurant…
And it turns out that the 'line' outside of the restaurant is instead people merely eating their food outside and conversing.
"Excuse me…" Felicia politely states as she walks beside Elise and at the counter, where a selection of sushi… would be available, had most of it not been already bought.
"Woooow… super popular, then." Elise gasps. "'Scuse me, sir? What would you recommend for someone who never had sushi?" She dramatically waves the man down.
"A new customer, hm?" He gruffly regards her… but it's the nice kind of sterness. "Well, I do have several recommendations… but most of them are already sold out for the day." He has a confident smile on his face, clearly proud of his work. "I'd recommend something simple and with fewer ingredients, so…" He looks over the selection, before gesturing towards something that looks like it only has two things inside of it, "A tuna roll. It's literally just tuna and scallions."
"Okay, I'd like to try an order of them, please sir." She looks at Felicia, "Watcha gonna get?"
"Oh… this is going to be a stretch, but I don't suppose you have any twice-frozen eel rolls?" She sheepishly smiles.
"...I'm afraid I've never heard of that. But, I do have standard eel rolls." He looks slightly confused.
"Oh, it's alright. I wouldn't expect to see Ice Tribe foods… two orders of eel rolls, one to go." She instead says as she pulls out a handful of gold coins. "Please, keep the remainder." She nods.
Which earns a smile, "Thank you very much." With a speed that clearly shows his experience, he puts two separate orders together, and boxes the third. "Enjoy."
Elise eyeballs her small meal as she and Felicia takes a seat… the Ice Tribe woman has already taken a bite out of hers. "Dear?" She asks after the second bite.
"Oh, sorry…" Smiling, Elise picks up a piece and plops it in her mouth. Seconds pass as Elise seems uncertain on what exactly to think of it. "I think… I need a second one." In goes a second. "Okay… maybe one more." Felicia only shakes her head with a smile. "Alright, the verdict is in!" She proudly declares, "This is pretty good… can I taste one of yours."
Letting out a small giggle, she nods, "Half of one, Eel can get rather… strong."
Without a care in the world, Elise plops the half of a roll into her mouth… then shudders. "Er, yeah…" She downs some water. "I think I'm gonna wanna to work my way up." A short pause, "So, what's the difference between that and a twice-frozen one?"
"It's essentially the same ingredients, but it's frozen, thawed out just enough to keep a few dozen tiny ice crystals, then frozen again and served just as it reaches the same temperature as last time."
"...Then why freeze it twice?"
"The first is specifically for the ice crystals, the second is thought of to sending a duplicate to the Ice Dragon Goddess." She smiles. "I know, it must seem strange to you."
Elise nods, "Yeah, it kinda does, but… I'm also glad to know some more about you and your Tribe. It's really interesting, learning all of these different things other Tribes do." She then tilts her head, "I wonder if the Fire Tribe has like… twice burnt sushi?" She plops another sushi piece in her mouth.
"The Fire Tribe didn't seem to have any fish near them… and nothing that was served to us was charred." She shrugs. "Maybe you should ask Rinkah next time you see her?"
"...if I can find her. I mean, seriously, where is she? I haven't seen her since we arrived here!" Elise puffs her cheek out. "So… gifts next?"
Felicia hums with a smile. "That sounds wonderful." One more sushi piece down.
It only took about two dozen 'ooo's and 'how about this?' before Elise settled onto a stall that sold dried flowers and other 'natural' type of accessories. So, her question was, "How about some flowers? Preserved ones, so he doesn't have to worry about keeping them alive?" She looks up to Felicia.
"Which colors?" Felicia looks at the assortment.
"...How about some blue ones and… red?"
"Hoshido and the Water Dragon?" Felicia nods. "A lighter blue and purple?"
"Ice and Dusk?" Elise tilts her head. "Yeah, his clothes n stuff already have Dawn and Water, so… let's do Ice and Dusk." She smiles. "I'll get the Dusk and you get the Ice."
"That sounds good to me… and what are you going to get Oboro?" She asks as she looks over the dried flowers.
"I wanna make her something… something small. Like… I dunno. A hat? No, she's got too much hair. I don't want to give her 'hat hair'." Elise huffs. "Gloves? But… it's kinda warm, uh…"
"How about something for Mr. Cuddles?" Felicia suggests as she picks out a few flowers. "Perfect."
"I could make like, a little sweater for him." Elise nods… but then shakes her head, "No, I don't think Mr. Cuddles would like it that much if I didn't make something for Mr. Snuggles, too." She hums as she picks out her flowers. "Oh! I got it… I'll make her a flower necklace! Lemme get some more flowers!" With her resolve set, Elise picks out a few more colors… more in the style of Hoshidan royalty. Some bright red, a few white… and a single purple one. Red on one side, white on the other, and the purple will be in the center. "Alright, I'm ready."
Felicia could only smile as she and Elise purchased the flowers… with 'keep the change' and made their way back to the castle. "Hey, Elise? Would you care if I… well. 'Prepared' you for tonight?"
"Tonight? You… oh." Her face quickly burns red. "C'mon, out here?"
"It just crossed my mind."
"...sure." She nods, "But let's not talk about that right now."
"Fair enough. We do have gifts to ready, after all." A comfortable silence follows.
Settling back into their room, Elise began working on the flower necklace for Oboro as Felicia simply handed the next flower. "I wonder what our love is up to?" Elise suddenly asks as she weaves in another white flower.
"Enjoying himself, I'm sure." Felicia states as she hands another white flower.
"So… tonight."
"Are you still certain?"
"I'll admit, I'm kinda nervous, buuuuut… I also think I'm ready." White to purple… then to red. Over half way. "And when is the, uh… 'preparation'?" Her face mirrors the bright red flowers.
"After you're finished?"
Elise squeaks, "R-really? That soon? But… we have dinner kinda soon."
"An hour or so, yes. It'll be simple. Just some foreplay." Compared to her flustered state, Felicia remains calm.
"I would ask how your first time was, but…"
"You'd be right… I didn't like it." A solemn atmosphere hangs over now. "As for my first time with Corrin, well… I was too into my role to really care, it was all about him and nothing about me. I suppose the first time I really experienced the excitement was in the Fire Tribe." She smiles, finally at least sort of flushed. "I think your first time will be far better. Just… know that it will hurt a bit for the first few."
"Oh." Elise threads together the last few red flowers.
"Only a bit, after that… pleasure." Elise gently places the flower necklace aside. "So…?"
"Foreplay?" She nods. "Alright, guide me."
"Okay, just… gently lie down and relax." Following her instructions, Elise lies down on the bed, still very much clothed. "I'm going to raise your kimono some." Doing as she announced, Felicia gently pulls up Elise's kimono, stopping a bit from her breasts. Taking her own breath, Felicia steadily presses against Elise's stomach with just enough force for her to really feel it.
And she giggles. "Th-that… kinda tickles and… a bit cold."
"I'm afraid I can't do much for the cold, dear." Felicia shakes her head, "How about this for the ticklish, though?" She presses a bit more, even pushing some of her nails onto her.
"Ooo… okay, that's… kinda tingly." She breathes. "Mmm…" She relaxes into Felicia's soft scratches, and for a few minutes, that's all Felicia really did, just rub and scratch on her stomach. "This feels more like a massage."
"Would you like for me to do a bit more?"
"Y-yeah… what's next?"
"I'm about to raise your kimono up some more." She announces as the clothing goes up and over Elise's relatively small breasts, the younger of the two shivers. "I'm going to resume touching…" Her hands just barely graze Elise's mounds and the other takes a sharp breath.
"...I feel kinda weird now. But… a good weird?" She bites her lip, uncertain at the new feelings.
"It it a sort of… warmth?" Felicia pauses.
"Yeah, tingly warm. Is that normal?"
"Yes, it is." Smiling, Felicia resumes, "take a breath and relax. I'm about to touch a sensitive spot." Elise nods as she takes a breath, then Felicia just gently brushes by her nipple.
Elise gasps as her body twitches a bit. "Whew, um…"
"Are you okay?" Felicia immediately asks, "If it ever becomes too much, let me know, okay?"
"I… I like it. It's just… different." Elise nods, "Anything e-else?"
To which she shakes her head. "That's as far as I will go. Though I'm sure you're feeling really warm… further down."
"I am."
A smirk forms, "That is where our love will be tending to you."
"Oh… oh… okay." A pause, "Hey, what about… kissing? That's not too much, is it?"
Felicia pulls her kimono back down and crawls up, "A few…" With that, Felicia starts the kiss, just gently brushing lips at first. The second one quickly follows up, slightly parted lips and…
"O-okay, I think… that's enough." Felicia stops the moment Elise says that.
"Understood. How are you feeling?"
"Kinda… whew. A bit overwhelmed. Uh, thanks." Elise hums as she just lies there.
"Would you like to try some on me?"
Yet, she shakes her head, "I need some time…"
Felicia smiles, "Not a problem, now…" She rises, "Shall we get ready for dinner?"
"H-huh? Now?!" She squeaks, "I-I feel so… warm and… gods. O-okay. Let's get ready. I'm sure I'll be… 'calmed down' by the time we get there." Elise gets up. "Besides, we got gifts to give!" With the atmosphere slowly winding down, the two ready themselves for dinner…
If only Elise knew how sexually tense that dinner was going to be.
A/N: First off... I did intentionally did not include the bit with Elise being awake and talking to Corrin and Felicia from the main fic. That portion is from Elise's PoV and she was frankly too tired to remember. Now then... Oh, and I tried to keep any serious topics out, but... oh well.
Felicia the Ninja-Maid. I shall say it here first, there will be Custom Classes in this fic and the first one is... Selena, actually. She is 'A' in swords, 'B' in bows, 'C' in axes, lances, and daggers, 'E' in tomes and staves. Felicia will be, like... 'B' in daggers, 'C' in staves, and... 'D' in swords. I don't have names planned for any of these custom classes, so... feel free to shoot me some.
Uh, now then, not much else to say, besides stating the obvious.
Lastly, well, guess what event is going to happen in Chapter 27 of 'Confined' ;)
