[Anubis's smile back at his mother could only be called beaming.]
I won't give you any reason to be sad, Mom, I promise. I'll be so careful and only take on what I can handle. I know I'm not big and tough like Horus and Sobek or smart like Osiris.
[She's right, of course. She's got a way of being right all the time, which makes the faith she's now showing in him that much more important.]
Then I just promise to do my best. [That's when the realization really hits that she's not just sending him right back home. Something major has changed here, and she's letting it change even though she's so worried for him. Throwing his arms back around her, he exclaims for everyone in the lobby to hear:] I love you so much, Mom!

(( The renewed affection takes her by surprise, though she does squeeze him tight after a beat. ))
Sweet child, you are my whole heart.
