-near her own face.

She still had SOME dignity left.

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

Clink, clink, clink…

The familiar sound of metallic footsteps came ever closer to Cordelia. Was it a challenger? Perhaps a skilled knight?

… no, it was her dear daughter Severa. Her arms were outstretched to each side as if to avoid making contact with her own body-

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

Years younger…’

Cordelia chuckled a bit bitterly but also smiled. It was ten years she wouldn’t want back even if it was offered. After all, she’d gotten to watch her little girl grow up. That alone was worth any and all the trials and tribulations she’d faced…

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

-And the tears in her eyes all added up to paint the perfect picture of someone in a very pathetic state.

Not to mention the smell…

❝M-Mommy… T-They… THEY MADE ME CLEAN THE LATRI-I-IIIINES! WAAAHH!❞ and there was the full on wailing. Hands still refusing to come-

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝Yes! Two please!❞

❝… thanksmomiguess.❞

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

‘…peanut butter and strawberry jam, Angel? With the crust cut off?’

Cordelia snickered softly as there were a number of years where if Severa received anything else for lunch but such a sandwich the NEIGHBORS, and they lived on a farm at the time, would hear her outrage…

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝Extra special…? Hmm, fiiiine.❞

[‍𝓒𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑎. @caeIumrubrum]

❝ Then, I’ll make it up to you. Make it extra special, alright? Promise.~ ❞

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝The LEAST creepy food possible!❞

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

Cordelia did her best not to roll her own eyes as she smiled and gently played with Severa’s hair…

‘Then what would you like me to make for you, Angel?’

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝… They don’t cook it the way I want…❞

[‍𝓒𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑎. @caeIumrubrum]

❝ I can, next time. Just for you, alright? ❞

While the intent was to avoid being wasteful, it warms her heart to know her daughter seems to want to try her cooking.

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝I DON’T EVEN WANT IT ANYWAY! HMPH!❞

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

‘It’s just the truth, Angel. You know I’d never lie to you.’

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝STOOOOP-PUH!❞

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

‘Also Plegian. Also learned from Tharja, but I’ll still gladly make you one, if you like.’

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

… She got the SWIFTEST of split second hugs.

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

‘I’m waaaiting…’

Cordelia smirked as it was her right as a mother to be embarrassing.

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝The creepy witch lady?! Yuck! No way! How about… An eel pie instead?❞

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

‘Oh it most certainly is. I learned it from Tharja herself! She was rather insistent no one else would want to eat it, but you were quite fond from even the first time you tasted it. So…eel stew then?’

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝W-… What? No it isn’t!❞

Her eyes went wide, she was shifting fully into denial mode.

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

‘Of course, Sweetheart. Though I thought you’d have turned on that dish by now…’

Cordelia started to prepare a few things, but slowly…since what she said next might turn things…

‘It is a Plegian dish, after all.’

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝MOM YOU ARE SO EMBARRASSING!❞

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

‘Mmhm. That’s my name.’

Cordelia chuckled softly and held her arms out for her darling angel.

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝Hm… Can I have your eel stew? I love the way you cook that!❞

… that was a Plegian dish. Famously Plegian.

Perhaps she was so ignorant she didn’t even realize that?

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

‘I make several stews, Angel. You’ll have to be a biiiit more specific.’

Cordelia had an idea…but still needed a bit more of a hint. Severa tended to enjoy her cooking, but there were some meals she came back for seconds and thirds of…

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝M-Mommy- URGH, MOM!❞

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

‘Much to my dismay…’

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝… I want that stew you sometimes make…❞

She even spoke like a spoiled brat…

[ℂ𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕒𝕚𝕟 ℂ𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕖𝕝𝕚𝕒 @UnflawedCrimson]

‘What would you like to eat, Angel?’

Cordelia smiled and placed her hands on her hips. NORMALLY, she’d scold Severa over such behavior…but they hadn’t had a lot of time together lately. She could spoil her little girl a bit…

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝Can’t you make it?❞

[‍𝓒𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑎. @caeIumrubrum]

❝ Ah … ❞

A sigh.

❝ Well … If you change your mind — ❞

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝Hmph… Then no I don’t want it…❞

She would cross her arms in a huff.

[‍𝓒𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑎. @caeIumrubrum]

❝ ... Er, no. Frederick prepared a loaf, and offered to let me take a couple of servings. ❞

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝… Did you make it?❞

[‍𝓒𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑎. @caeIumrubrum]

❝ Would you like some bread to go with it? ❞

Seeing Severa lighten up, if even only a little bit, is enough to let Cordelia breathe a sigh of relief.

[☆ ★ 𝕊𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕒 ★ ☆ @CutShyOfPerfect]

❝Hrmnnmn… yeahwhateverfine…❞

[‍𝓒𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑎. @caeIumrubrum]

❝ Yes, love. You may want to let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. ❞
