Well, between the discussion going on and the staff, which was also now talking, Anubis looks clearly confused. It's only compounded as the young woman apologizes to him.

"Apology accepted, though I'm not certain what for." His voice is a bit raspy, sounding a little older than what his younger face appears, but that shy smile in his expression is genuine.

He reaches up to tilt his hat back, his eyes shining a little bit in his amusement at all this strangeness. He pauses when she asks if he wants to come along, and then if he has any food. Even though the staff 'face palms', he shakes his head and reaches into the pouch around his neck.

"I have a little, if you are hungry." He produces a modest rice ball, holding it out to her. "As for..." Just as he's about to say he's on a trip of his own, there's a gentle rattling of the rings from his staff. It's not something he could have produced on his own and he pauses, looking to the staff and going quiet for a moment.

"Very well, if you would have me, I will join you." Why the spirits of the Ancients would have him take this journey he's not certain, but he'll do as they instruct.

"I insist. I have some more, which should last long enough." He holds it out to her, appreciating the restraint she's suddenly shown, and feeling it was only right to reward her for the thoughtfulness. He had two more of the small rice balls, and he had practice making such food last.

Well, that didn't last long, but at least she offered him some thanks. There's an uncertain smirk, he's not entirely impressed by the manners, but he's seen worse.

Goodnight!

"A wise suggestion, thank you." Anubis nods, having tried not to mind all the prying eyes fixated on the strangers conversing in the streets. "I will follow." He had no idea where here was, technically, but he should soon find out at least where this trio were going.

Anubis follows, the staff jingling only faintly behind them as he keeps up. When she questions about foreseeing the unforeseen, it brings a wry smile to his expression as he ducks the brim of his hat slightly. It only helps to hide the smirk a little as he walks along.

He watches as she's given a deck of cards, a curious parting gift and one he doesn't take at face value. He doesn't know what they mean to her, but there's probably something more to them. He's not about to pry just now, however.

As the man pats Najaran's head, Anubis is addressed, and he's not certain if it's a warning, or something else. He simply nods, sandals and staff dug into the sand as the man walks off.

"You are fortunate to have such guidance." He finally speaks after a time, looking over at her as he tips up the brim of his hat. "He said you are a fierce friend, but I believe we have skipped introductions."

Anubis just has a gently amused expression on his face as she talks about her mentor. Anubis could have used someone like Master Horowitz about 400 years ago, but even the few short days he'd had with the Ancient One had been enough to turn him back toward righteous ways.

"Najaran, Gooligan, it is a pleasure. I'm Anubis." He presses the free palm to his chest and gives a nod of his head.

When she pauses, so does Anubis, an uncertain expression working on to his face as Gooligan repeats his name. Surely Talpa's evil reach hadn't made it this far? He couldn't remember setting foot here, even as she asks him.

"It is the name I was given many years ago. Is...there something I should be aware of?"

"The card?" He watches her closely, seeing her eyes glance out to the water, and then back to him.

He watches closely, and doesn't so much as flinch when the cards fly into her hand. He's used to many kinds of magic, and his own staff can be called back to his hands if he needs to do so. He studies the card a moment, head finally tilting.

"So there is a card called Anubis." His words are reflective, he can tell there is more magic here than her flourish, but he's never seen a magic deck before. "You will have to forgive my ignorance, my friend, but I don't understand the importance of my name being the same as one used in a deck of cards."

He gives her something of a lost look in response to her stunned expression.

"I am - new to these parts." He hopes that helps her understand his lack of understanding.
