Shesmu frowned, looking at Anouke. "I just don't like the idea of her being... out of my sight." He realised as he finished saying it how ridiculous it sounded. What was he going to do when she started going to school? (Although Shesmu didn't think Anouke needed to go to school. He and Sekhmet could teach her everything she needed to know. Sekhmet would teach out hunting and about healing, and Shesmu could take her down to Duat and show her how to make wine out of the blood of evildoers - what more could any little girl need?
"I just worry," Shesmu said. "She's really small, Sekhmet!" Because maybe, somehow, Sekhmet had missed that their baby was just baby-sized. "What if someone falls on her? Or what if she's on the floor and gets kicked? If anyone tries to kick Anouke I'm gonna kick their brains in!"
