No, you are kept in just your nappies

Instead of offering you something more to wear, the Forrester ladies decide to leave you in just your diapers.

Lady Elissa tells her daughters. "Talia, let the maester in. Mira, help me help Brynden sit up."

The younger girl nods and walks over to the door. At the same time, the older girl helps her mother to raise your upper body up a little on the bed. As you rest your back against the pillows, the maester enters the bedchamber.

He is many years younger than Duncan Tuttle, yet he has an even longer beard than the castellan. He also has the look of a man from the Vale. There is a gentle smile and a caring expression on his face.

"You summoned me, my lady?" the maester says to Elissa, as he follows Talia over to the bed.

"Yes, Maester Ortengryn," the Lady of Ironrath confirms. She places a hand on your shoulder and announces "This boy arrived less than an hour ago. He seems to have fallen ill. I would like you to examine him."

Maester Ortengryn nods his head, continues to smile, and states "As you wish, my lady."

At this moment, Lady Elissa and Mira are seated on either side of you. Mira gets up to make way for the maester, and he takes her place at your right side. He then proceeds to give you a short medical examination.

He measures your pulse, your heartbeat, and your breathing. He also gazes up your nose and uses a very small stick to take a nasal specimen. Then he presses his hand on your forehead to check your body temperature. He handles you very carefully, as though you are made of glass. Because of that, you feel as though you can trust this man.

Thankfully, he does not go so far as to examine your private section. At least you are spared THAT much dignity. Interestingly, he says nothing about your padding. You are certain he has noticed it, but he does not seem bothered by it. It is almost as though he regards it as perfectly normal.

Now that you think about it, it IS a bit odd that they would just happen to have diapers large enough to fit someone your age. That makes you wonder; could someone else at Ironrath wear nappies? Maybe even one of Lady Elissa's children?
