[ From the sound of it, the Heroic Spirits of her world were more extravagantly equipped than they had been as living men, or in their original tales. It lends less to understanding, but he can assume a level above his comprehension (Noble Phantasm, cosmic scale, endless weaponry) without chagrin. Again, it does not yet matter here, more a point of interest in worldly mechanics, that which would be impossible but for the impossible made possible here.

The personality, however.

Another twitch, but now in the disuse of his lips.

That someone would appreciate that less, he thinks. Is it because they had miscast Gilgamesh in the legends, or that this alternate version was as different as his universe? Surely one's deeds were more important than the words spoken or attitude worn during them, but that man had seemed to admire heroes as much for their strength of spirit and kindness, as for their sheer power.

Had seemed to.

That fleeting levity, that twitch, smoothing out again. No, he might not mind this at all, as long as Gilgamesh still retained his incredible power. The King of Heroes, indeed. ]


Did he make empty threats?

[ As to the threat to cut her into eighths, given that he hadn't. Given that, instead, he'd taken her away. If not so distracted by the scattering of his own mind, he might have been surprised to realize Gilgamesh was the one who had saved her, and urged her to live happily. It does still seem that his personality cannot be all that bad.

Instead, he keeps mild, observational. Apparently detached. ]


It might not be either or. Both impressive, and impressively patient.
