He supposed that protecting them was more important. They obviously could not protect themselves. They couldn’t even fight very well. “Okay, Mama. I’ll help protect them.” Maybe he could show them how to fight better. He would have to think about that. Maybe Nanna could help him figure it all out.
Nergal guessed his mother was right. It wouldn’t be much fun if they only had each other to boss around. Nanna was older, so he would get to be the boss above Nergal and Nergal did not like being bossed. Maybe he could boss Nanshe.
