Poseidon decided that he liked the Egyptians. When he first saw them at the Panathenaea, Poseidon had assumed that they would be like his brother, Hades, a bit too serious for his liking. They blew his expectations away with how wild they were at the party. Anubis and Thoth were the life of the party! And Khepri had some pretty decent puns when drunk. Artemis was laughing a bit too hard at some of the jokes though. Poseidon would have to use that sort of blackmail at a later date.
Leaning back in his chair as he waited for the Egyptian trio to arrive, Poseidon stuck his index finger inside of his ear, much to Amphitrite's disgust.
"Don't worry babe. I blame Zeus for this one." After some digging, Poseidon managed to pull out a few large flies that snuck their way inside his ears. That was the worst brunch Poseidon had ever been to, but it was funny seeing Zeus scream like a wuss when a dozen spiders got into his hair. Why and how did all of those insects suddenly swarm the strip club's dining room, Poseidon would most likely never know. "I'm still finding spiders in my underwear."
Amphitrite shook her head. "I'm glad I didn't ask to come along this time." She flashed him a sultry grin. "Maybe we could go together next time, for date night."
"I like the sound of that." Poseidon started wiggling his eyebrows causing Amphitrite to start giggling, the tips of her fin ears darkening as she blushed. "Make sure you bring your tail with you."
"I always do. I'll be sure to polish my scales just for you." She gave Poseidon a wink. Damn he loved his wife. And women went unsaid though Poseidon didn't particularly care about gender. He still prefered women though, especially sea nymphs. Mermaids were the best.
"Babe, if we didn't have guests on the way I would say let's go lock ourselves in the family restroom." Poseidon pointed over his shoulder where a large cyclops exited from said restroom, cringing at the smell.
"You're such a romantic, babe." Amphitrite leaned back dramatically in her seat, her revealing dress leaving nothing to the imagination of anyone passing by in front of her, the lucky bastards.
"You know it- oh hey! They're here!" Poseidon stood up from his seat when he caught sight of the arriving animal headed gods, and one masked goddess.
"Psst! Anubis, Thoth, Khepri!" Poseidon whispered loudly, causing the other patrons to look at him weirdly instead of the Egyptians. Anubis' muzzle broke out into a large grin, while Thoth and Khepri remained serious. Eh, they would loosen up once they got some alcohol running through their veins.
"Sit down, my new friends!" Poseidon motioned towards the fancy table, bottles of alcohol ready to be drunk. The familiar burning flowing through their throats before settling in their stomachs.
Anubis sauntered up to the table first, his hand extended. It was time for the secret handshake they came up with at the party.
One slap to each side of their palms, interlocked fingers, a kick to the tip of the feet, a small hip bump and a kiss to the cheek.
Amphitrite could barely hold in her laughter when Anubis' face suddenly turned serious, and Poseidon followed suit with a blank face as they stared at each other.
"We are never doing that again."
"Agreed."
It was better drunk anyway.
"Hathor! What did they do to you?!" Anubis shouted once a nymph waiter placed a rather large steak in front of him. Thoth, who was in the middle of taking a sip of wine, immediately started coughing violently. Even the stoic Khepri had to place a hand over her mouth to keep herself from laughing. What was so funny?
Poseidon and Amphitrite stared at the Trio in confusion.
"Who's Hathor?" Poseidon leaned towards his wife and whispered.
"I have no idea." Amphitrite whispered back. Damn it, maybe he should have researched the Egyptian pantheon before this dinner. Nah, that didn't really sound like fun. That was something Hades would do.
"Hathor is one of Amun-Ra's daughters." Thoth explained as he cleaned his beak with a napkin. "She has the head of a cow and is Khepri's older sister." Said goddess was rubbing her grey forehead, half of her face hidden by a small mask. Poseidon was honestly surprised she didn't have an animal head like her companions. It was probably for the best, after the events at the strip club he wasn't going to enjoy seeing insects anytime soon. Poseidon simply nodded along. So Khepri was some type of Egyptian princess? Now that was interesting. Hopefully Zeus wouldn't find out and try to arrange some political marriage.
Anubis kept staring at the steak, giggling like a little girl.
"Should we call an ambulance?" Amphitrite turned to Khepri who was in the middle of biting into her onion.
"He'll be fine." Khepri shrugged and went back to eating in silence. She was a bit too stick-like for Poseidon's taste, but Thoth! Now that was a god, with incredible pecs. Amphitrite already called dibs on him sadly, so Poseidon was stuck with Anubis or Khepri.
Anubis poked the steak with a knife with another giggle as he took another sip of nectar, several empty bottles around him. He grabbed the large, bloody steak and started eating it with his hands.
"Soooo, Anubis buddy. I was watching the news earlier and-" Poseidon spoke as he started cutting into his second steak when Anubis interrupted him.
"It's all Thot's fault!"
"No it wasn't, you overgrown oaf." Thoth responded calmly with a glare. Poseidon took a long sip straight from the nectar bottle.
This was going to be a fun dinner.
