Oh...my...god,Drew whimpered.Who...Anubis ignored her {bless him for that} and held out his elbow for me - a sweet old-fashioned gesture. May I have this dance?I suppose, I said,as non committally as I could. I looped my arm through his, and we left the Plastic Bags behind us, all of them muttering,Oh my god! Oh my god!No ,actually, I wanted to say. He's my amazingly hot boy god. Find your own.
In the excerpt from "The Serpent's Shadow" by Rick Riordan, the character Drew expresses shock and disbelief upon meeting Anubis. He seems to disregard her reaction and instead offers a charming gesture by extending his elbow, inviting the narrator to dance. This moment illustrates a contrast between the girl's dramatic response and the calm demeanor of Anubis.
The protagonist responds to Anubis' invitation with a nonchalant attitude, determined to keep the situation casual, even as they leave a group of surprised onlookers behind. The narrator’s internal thought reveals a possessive pride in Anubis, indicating a deeper connection while humorously suggesting that others should not covet him.
