blue-houndā:
Lancerās eyes barely narrowed at the comment as he continued to chew on the delicious meat. Would he have continued to serve had the King broken his word? Boredom was a dangerous foe, and with each passing day, even worse enemies appeared. He had chosen his allies before, how different could this be?
āĀ Hmphā¦ā He swallowed and added the clean bone to the pile on his dish.
āI wanted to keep fighting, that was my wish. So it happened, I can heal my wounds. Itās nothinā like a servantās regeneration, but itās more than what I had.ā Lancer picked another rib, his eyes still on Gilgamesh.Ā
āEach one of these trials, the goddess is judging us. Itās almost as if she wanted us to prove worthy of recovering our power. Annoyinā, but how many annoying things are out there?ā without another word he git into another rib, peeling off the tender lamb flesh.
āWine? Rumor has it you have the best ever existedā
Gilgameshās hands only parted once whileĀ CĆŗ spoke, pulling off a small bit of meat from the boar dish in order to pop it into his mouth. Merely a bite, hardly a joining of this feast. He sucked the gingerly sauce off of his fingers tips, leaving his hand clean.Ā
āAh, indeed. My wine is the finest this world has ever known, brewed by the hands of Urukās citizens themselves. However, it is still out of my reach.ā The King sighed his disappointment, and with a raised hand, opened yet another shimmering portal. Out he pulled a large glass mug, filled to the brim with rich golden beer. He slid it over to CĆŗ.Ā āThis is the best I can offer for now. Again, not quite the beer of my Uruk either, but it is satisfactory.ā
And that was the extent of his granted power for the day. How pathetic. There was a glimpse of a sour look on his face, before he pushed himself to dwell on other more vital matters.Ā
āSo youāve regained some of your regenerative capabilities. Useful. Especially considering what I must ask of you.ā His fingers tapped together at their tips.Ā āFrom now onward, you will protect not only myself, but my friend as well--Kingu. Surely youāve seen him beside me before, with that long green hair of his. I have reason to believe that certain individuals may seek to harm him.ā
