Summary: Anubis shows up unexpectedly with a surprise

Anubis smirked to himself as he typed 'Knock Knock' and sent the text to Hanuman. He pocketed his cell phone and knocked on Hanuman's door. Anubis should have been in LA, getting ready for the new semester of school to start. This would be very unexpected.

"Wow." Hand still in Mason's, Javi's expression once more glowed with innocent wonder and awe. "This is... Oh, wow, this is beautiful. Sort of epic-ly beautiful. Wow."

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

"Yeah." Mason leaned over and gave Javi a kiss on the cheek. He took a moment to take in the sights. "Pretty incredible, right? I'm still doing some research on more places to try to get graveyard access to."

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah? What's on your list?" Javi twisted to return the affection and then released Mason's hand, striding out further into the lonely graveyard. He dropped into a sudden crouch and flattened his palm over a pitted stone. Intent, he studied the faded carvings even as his thumb idly traced one of the numbers still visible.

Mason watched Javi kneel and inspect the headstone. He let his hand settle on Javi's shoulder. "I'd like to get all over. All the way to New York would be amazing. And maybe down to New Orleans."

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

Javi looked up with a huge grin. "New Orleans? That would be so awesome! And that's where Baldr and Hel are so you could totally hang out with them, too." A thought occurred to him and he chuckled. "Or, hey, Mardi Gras, man. Mardi Gras."

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

"Mardi Gras, huh?" He chuckled. "Already making spring break plans? Or is that before spring break? I would like to get ins so I could get to my pantheon-mates quickly, if I ever need to."

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

"Good plan. Your group is kind of all over the place, aren't they?"

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

"Yeah, kind of. None are super close to me or anything. But I like travelling and this'll give me an excuse to get to know them again better, most of them anyway."

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

"It sounds like a good deal to me." Javi looked around the graves again and his palm once more ran over the old stone. His smile was a bit wistful as he glanced towards Mason. "I want to travel some day. I was thinking of some study-abroad programs. You know, go out and take classes other places and see other things but..." He shrugged a bit and then straightened. He stretched. "I don't think I can do it with this whole god stuff going on. I shouldn't leave the country. Can't leave Sita."

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

Mason cocked his head curiously at Javi's mention of Sita in particular. "What's going on there?"

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

"Huh?" Javi blinked, completely oblivious to any concerns about his choice of words. "What's going on?" he repeated. "Oh, well. I can't do what you do so, if I was overseas and something happened, it would be a lot harder for me to get back here."

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

"You worried that something would happen?"

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

"Not really but, well..." Javi wrinkled his nose. "See, one of the things I do is protect. Hanuman, that is, me. I'm an ace retainer, a total bro-BFF, and all that. I kick ass for a cause, you know? I protect people that mean something to me." He studied Anubis' expression with a faint smile. "Did you read my story yet?"

[measureofasoul.insanejournal.com]

"I did pretty soon after we met that first time", Mason told him. Thinking back on what he'd read, it started to make sense now. "I see what you're saying. Of course you'd still feel those same loyalties you had way back then."

[monkeyshinez.insanejournal.com]

"Those and more." Javi shrugged, laughing a bit, and then reached out to sling an affectionate arm around Mason. "The list's gotten longer, you know. You're on it, man. If you ever need anything, just ask, okay?"
