Tell me to be an uncle when I talk health matters, tell me to be a healer when I talk about being an uncle.
[His voice is teasing as he examines the bump.]
Mm. That seems to be a reaction to something. Let me...
[Anders casts, sending more warmth into the baby burrito as he looks past her for a moment before shaking his head.]
All I can suggest is make certain everyone touching the baby, including yourself, has washed their hands and any parts that come in contact with her. As her body develops she may easily get over whatever it is. If not, we can try to narrow it down when she's a little older.
You're an uncle and I'm a new mother. I fret. [She delicately traces the line of a soft cheek, then realizes she just did exactly what he said not to do. She meanders over to a basin and washes her hands with soap.] You can borrow her when you like. I'm finding it's actually quite helpful to have some time to myself once in a while.
[He looks up at Pel at the offer before smiling. She means it.]
I'll certainly take you up on that.
[Children are adorable. And if he cures the taint... well. It couldn't hurt to give Nate more baby exposure.]
Would you like that, little Sina?
[And back talking to the baby again. They like voices, though she may be a little young yet to appreciate being the one spoken to. Every baby is different, there.]
Purrelden might get jealous but she'll learn how to deal.
