Anubis was not a scaredy cat, he was a jackal thank you very much! Jackals were animals of the night and they ate anything they could find! Scarabs used to be Anubis' favorite snack once upon a few centuries ago. They tasted best when paired with a fine shedeh, and sautede with some wild berries. Anubis would eat his fill until he was completely stuffed, like those turkeys that the people across the ocean seemed to enjoy so much. The various tribes were such lovely people. Their Great Spirits were a fine host as well, provided you didn't offend them. Anyways, back to the scarabs at hand. Anubis enjoyed munching on them everyday.

Everything was fine, until Thebes happened. Now Anubis couldn't even bear looking at scarabs the same way he once had. Anubis shook slightly as Thot held him in his mighty arms.

"Meet John, Paul, George, and Ringo." Khepri gave them a wide smile. Aww, it was so nice seeing her so happy for once. Did the bugs holding musical instruments with a bad wig make her happy?

She was up to something, Anubis was sure of it. Thot sighed and dropped him, a loud thud filling the awkward silence afterwards. Groaning softly, Anubis skittered behind Thot.

"I have three things to say to you!" Anubis narrowed his eyes. Khepri simply stared back as she held her Atas beetle plushie close to her chest.

"One!" Anubis extended his pointing finger before she could respond. "Those wigs are disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself. Bowlcuts? Really? Hathor would have a heart attack!"

"99.9999 percent accurate. She does hate bad haircuts with a passion." Thot muttered as he took a seat on a La-Z-Boy in the corner, depriving Anubis of his cover. Khepri raised an eyebrow in response. She usually wore her masks out in public, and never at family meals! Amun-Ra's enjoyed his family dinners.

Anubis wouldn't know, he got kicked out the last time he tried to sneak in. A few centuries ago, Hathor and Ma'at considered him a bad influence on their beloved little sister. Anput had to vouch for him to be able to even be within several feet of Khepri!

They stopped after the conclusion of Set's Civil War.

"Two!" Anubis extended his thumb as he scooted a few feet back, still sitting on his butt. "That is so cool! You really need to arrange a concert once we go back home. Daddy Ra is totally going to love it."

"No." Khepri's smile was completely gone now. Yay! Now that was the Khepri that they all knew and loved! Being all happy and smiley was so out of character for her. It's almost as if she was trying to hide something.

"Third!" Anubis extended his middle finger, a smirk overtaking his face. "You're totally hiding something." He ignored the surprised look on her face. "Me and Thotty here have known you for centuries, we know all of your tells by now. Even if others aren't able to tell, we can." Anubis stood up and marched up to Khepri, whose eyes hardened, the emotion leaving her face.

Anubis glanced at the scarabs, not turning his head as he stared at his friend. The scarabs were twitching, as if agitated. She was channeling her emotions into the swarm it seemed again.

"Stop that, it's not healthy and you know it." Anubis' eyes narrowed. "Don't make me tell Isis and Amun-Ra that you're doing that again." Anubis swore he heard Thot eating popcorn, but that wasn't something the bird brain would do.

"I take offense to that." Thot said randomly, ignored by Anubis and Khepri.

"No!" Khepri's grimace caused the both of them to start giggling like nymphs. Anubis sat next to Khepri on the bed and patted her head. Isis could be overprotective at times. If the rumors were true, she fashioned a suit of bubblewrap for Khepri's first visit outside of Amun-Ra's palace. If only he wasn't busy with work when it happened.

"We've been through a lot together haven't we." Anubis gave Thot a look. Thot stared back before sighing, and sat on the other side of Khepri. "I know you can't tell us what exactly you're doing, but I just want you to know that we are here for you." Khepri nodded slowly. Several centuries of friendship wasn't always a positive thing. Khepri still kept close to her chest, never fully opening up to them.

"Thank you." Was Khepri's response. That's all they were going to get out of her it seemed.

"I'm surprised that you are speaking with such wisdom, Anubis." Thot picked up the TV remote and turned it on, ruining the moment. Damn it, Anubis wanted a group hug.

"Liar, you know everything." Khepri smirked. Thot turned to the local news channel.

"Two members of the Egyptian delegation were spotted at the ribbon cutting of Plutus Corp's newest department store." A blue nymph news reporter said. Her co-anchor was a bright green cyclop with a large grin on his face."They caused quite a stir when Anubis, the Egyptian god of death and the afterlife tripped-

Anubis snatched the remote out of Thot's lotion covered hands right as the news channel displayed the various pictures of Anubis tripping om his own feet.

"Nothing to see here!" Anubis turned off the TV.

"Too late." Khepri smirked as she showed him her phone. It turned out that someone recorded the whole thing, editing it with funny noises as Anubis fell on his face over and over again.

"I hate you." Anubis groaned as he fell back.

"I know you mean love. Don't worry we are here for you no matter what-"

Anubis threw a pillow at Khepri's face. She dodged at the last second, only for the pillow to hit Thot right on the beak.

"Why can't I ever have a normal vacation?" Thot muttered as Khepri grabbed another pillow in response. Anubis looked at his watch. They had plenty of time before they had to meet Poseidon for dinner. Anubis grabbed his own pillow.

What was wrong with having a pillow fight?

A/N

I've been reading so many webtoons right now its not funny. I read LO whenever it updates, but I'm reading Lookism right now.
