stop and stare — lost, duel joiner

[Anubis.]

Without Ebra's guidance, Anubis would not have recognized him, not in this form, for the boy had been a ghost last he'd known him.

In contrast to Ska'arq, he offered a small smile.  Anubis was nothing, if not customarily polite.  The question had been poised, as tradition, and the wolf settled on his haunches, studying the mountain cat curiously.  All alone, unfortunately, but Anubis knew the siblings had been separated for some time.  "You need help?" I thought he traveled with your sister, Ebra... Where is Tena?
