"Hades tried to physically stop you from leaving?" Anubis leaned against his Crook, frowning at the other. That was the first time he heard of that, first time he heard of Hades trying to stop anyone from leaving the Underworld by his own skill. He wondered why it mattered so much that Zagreus didn't leave the Underworld. Anubis left the Duat all the time, ran tasks on the mortal world, returned home and did his job there too. He didn't find the mortal realm that interesting and he definitely didn't consider it dangerous enough to tell other young gods or demigods (whatever he was) to stay away from it.
"I wonder why he's so bound and determined to keep you here. Granted you won't blend in very well among the humans but that can always be fixed with the right glamour. Even if you can't cast it yourself others can for you. I could do it for example. It's not the most fascinating place, humans die easily and most the time they seem unhappy but that's not a reason to trap you down here too. Besides, doesn't it keep you from Mount Olympus?" He frowned and glanced to the ground. "I'd avoid that place more than the mortal realm."
Following after the other into his bedroom Anubis glanced briefly to the mirror before filtering around. He touched the books, the chest of clothing, and peeked over at his bed. It wasn't that messy, Anubis' own bedroom was in a much more chaotic state. In his defense though he was barely in his room long enough to so much as sleep let alone clean it.
"So you die and start over. But you cause just enough carnage in between to drive your father insane. Osiris would be proud." He turned back around and looked at Zagreus. "And to explain to someone who doesn't realize Gods outside the Greeks exist, Osiris is essentially a different version of Hades for a different afterlife. He's also my father." Just don't ask Osiris directly if he is, the God will deny it until both their deaths.
"I can help you, I can do it without being caught. You just might be on your own at certain intervals if someone who might recognize me shows up. You've failed how many times?" Anubis shook his head and looked away. He couldn't risk sitting around up there and not having the other show because he can't get out. It would make more sense to just wait here until he could get Hades to agree to help him. If Zagreus hadn't gotten out so far, what were the chances he'd manage now? If Anubis didn't get caught, he'd be fine.
