Of course not! I've been hoping someone'd start getting up at the same time as me but it's not really a human side thing, I guess... anyway, please pull up a seat!

[Once she's comfortably seated, he'll wipe his hands with his napkin and then extend one across the table in greeting.]

I'm Anubis, by the way! Osiris, the sorta leader of this whole thing, he's my dad. I usually live in our afterlife.

(( Of course she matches the gesture, reaching across to take the proffered hand. Her own are warm and soft, not unexpected of hands that needn't do labor. Even the bulk of her healing is done via magic (though she's capable of making potions and poultices and even stitching up a wound). ))

Anubis.

(( There's a musical quality in the way she speaks, but especially in the way she repeats his name as if trying it out. ))

I'm Ianuaria.

(( Yan-yu-ari-ah. Almost like January, in some languages. ))

What do you usually do in your afterlife, Anubis?

[Oh... his name does sound prettier the way she says it. He smiles down at his breakfast for a moment, suddenly feeling shy, but then she says her own name and and realizes he'll have to do the same thing - try it out, make sure it fits on his tongue. Hopefully he won't mess it up too badly.]

Ianu - ari - a. [The soft name gains a few sharp edges when Anubis says it, but he's got the gist.] That's so pretty. I've never heard a name like that before.

Oh, I... well, not much, these days. No one new really comes to our afterlife anymore. But I used to help with the funerary rites and judgment of the dead, and now I'm its guardian when Osiris is away. [After a pause, he rushes to add:] But I've got people watching it now! It's still safe! This is just more important.
