Ra...

I've got you, little jackal.
[ Pale fingers tangle themselves in Anubis' hair, the other running up and down the other god's back in soothing motions. ]
I would have been here sooner, but we were hoping to tear down the barrier that's trapping you here before any of us jumped in.
[ With the state of the sun here and all. However, the desert sun is relentless over Egypt. ]
