Sisterly Advice [shortly after marriage to Thoth] (tag: Tawaret)

Seshat was, by nature, a learner. Though some might think that given her proclivities she'd be a know-it-all, Seshat recognized that she did not in fact know it all. But she wanted to. She had a constant hunger to discover new information that she didn't have before. So she never hesitated in tracking down ways to feed that hunger, particularly when she found a topic that was completely unfamiliar.

Except this time. )

Raging Hormones [Ancient Egypt] (tag: Seshat)

[info]poneomenos
The trouble with being a god, and the son of Zeus most likely a big part of that, was how quickly he grew. His first day of life, Hermes had done more and grown faster than was natural by any stretch of the imagination. A baby that could already walk and talk, steal cows and invent musical instruments, lie and bargain, and turn a man to stone, all on his first day of life was far from ordinary. The rest of his childhood was no different. While it had been measured in years, it was not as many years as others, particularly mortals, spent developing. Perhaps that was part of why now, as a young man, Hermes still had all the characteristics and feelings of an adolescent.

Not just any adolescent. An adolescent smack in the middle of puberty. )
