Erynne has been with the baby quite a lot since we came to London. She always asks me if I don't think that ... or rather, then she tells me that Caiomhe is beautiful.
OK, to me the kid looks a bit like a little pink frog, but babies are that shape. Her face is OK, but she doesn't look much like Erynne. As far as I can tell, she's a standard issue human baby. I can understand why they're proud of her, though, she's got a nice contented mind when she's clean, fed and happy - and very powerful lungs when she isn't.
The thing that puzzles me is the name. From the reaction of the Hospital Staff it's so unusual that they can't remember it or work out how to spell it. It looks like one way to handle the problem that children need a label, but, done rightly, the name can be used to give a kind of hold on the one that wears it.
Even some of the major demons and powers have to be wary of that. Having a name that outsiders can't cope with looks like a way around the problem. Then Erynne put the kid's name in her LJ and didn't even firewall it!
I wondered if the mojo doesn't work in this dimension, but I've run a couple of tests, and it does. Know the true name and you can spellsinganybody most people or thrall the one named.
When I thought about that I warded the kid, a bit. She and Erynne are kind of bonded. Even at that age some kids know what they like. This one likes a song about a spider, Erynne sings it to her a lot.
Some babies like most kinds of singing and Ciaomhe seems to be one of those.She's quite a nice little thing. OK, if I have to be around them I prefer kids who stop crying for lullabies.

a job you exactly wanted, but I felt safer knowing there was someone
nearby who could play as rough as a werewolf if the situation
demanded it.

It may not be like anything you've seen before...

Including my own.

Date: 2003-10-14 02:47 pm (UTC)There's a hunt we need to call,
and soon we need to go,
nothing like the things you've done,
or anything you know...
Now, be ready, Little Wolf,
come out to hunt tonight,
I must build the mojo high
and London lights are bright,
Run with me now, Little Wolf,
Where all the strangers go,
to a place for passing through,
with nobody to know.

No power without cost,
sometimes one that bleeds,
I know full well what it means to hunt
Show me where you'd find our prey
Tonight I follow where your nature leads...

remember who you are,
you're my love, my life, my wife,
my home, my guiding star...)
I have heard you. Little Wolf,
You must defend your pack,
You need hunt the Lamia
and run the hunters track,
Hunt at my side, Little Wolf,
The city never learns,
I must build the mojo now,
and that means some must burn.

Fought and killed when trouble came,
I didn't chase it down--
but afterward, I didn't cry...
What needs be done,
we do together,
Husband and wife,
Fire and shadow, two are one.
