Shesmu worked on washing the hands of the squirming cub in his arms and grinned at Sekhmet teasing him. He liked when she teased him.
"Bet Hathor would love it if you could manifest lotuses," Shesmu said to Anouke as he dried her hands and then looked to Sekhmet. "Though she'd probably like it even better if it was lipstick and shoes or something."
When Sekhmet began talking of taking Anouke out to other places and other children, Shesmu unconsciously began holding the baby a little closer. "We could...." he agreed, but it didn't sound like he was agreeing at all.
