Common knowledge said that you were supposed to greet new neighbors. Enkidu did not like that common knowledge. Still, if one interested them enough, they were willing to make an exception. For example, this guy. Every time they saw him, he was alone, but he was generally around other people. They could tell he was listening in to their conversations.
They wondered what it would take to draw him out of his observation. Unfortunately, their usual partner in crime was not willing to “lower himself” to participating in their little test.
So instead of staging a conversation, they simply acted as if they were about to walk past him, ensured that he was glancing up, and dropped their grip on their physical form... falling into a puddle of clay on the sidewalk.
