She sounds like someone discussing the punishment for an unruly dog, or a naughty child, which is a funny thought to associate with someone who is a fully grown man and, from what Liem understands, probably also an accomplished mage. But perhaps to someone like her, no one is beneath being punished like a naughty child. No mortal being, at least.
(From his perspective, the jury is still out on whether she might treat another god that way — but if he had to guess, when it comes to Set, the answer is probably still yes.)
He thinks about this for another moment, leaning against Set’s cocoon like the lumpy back of a green and growing couch.]
