[It's V/V with her guitar again. She strums a little while deciding what to say.]

Gilgamesh, I practiced something for you. I didn't find a lot that I could learn from, so I hope this is good...

[She starts to play and sing, a sweet, reverent melody. The words she's singing aren't easily understandable... To all but those who know Babylonian, of course. Gilgamesh's name might be able to be picked out a few times, though.

When she stops, she looks hesitantly at the camera.] ...Did you like that?

Well, in that case.

[ He'll pull himself up and pick... rather large collars and leashes up from the counter. And proceed to hook them around each cub's neck. ...Well, after a while. You know how they love to play and obviously think this is a wrestling match.

AFTER that little ordeal, he'll hand one of the leashes to V/V. ]

Alright. We should be good to go.

[heavenscorpse]

[She giggles, and away they go to the outside world. Where no one would dare to mess with them and their lions, of course, even if anyone possibly thought something was wrong with their walk.]

How have you been?

[king_of_heroes]

[ And if they do? They'll get yelled at. Or maimed. Something like that. Details, details. ]

Bored, mostly. Running a bookstore is more trouble than it's worth.

[heavenscorpse]

[Close enough.]

Mm, I'm sorry. I don't know how to make things that much more interesting.

[king_of_heroes]

That isn't your concern, angel. It's these mongrels that prove to be the most boring entertainers in the world. Perhaps I should go off on another trip.

[heavenscorpse]

Can I come? Would it be exciting?

[king_of_heroes]

Are you sure you would even want to leave this island for that long? I know you're friendly with a few of the people here. They would probably miss you.

And that all depends on what I actually do. Last time, I was merely collecting materials and weapons for myself.

[heavenscorpse]

I could still talk to them on the phone... Oh, but I'd miss band practice, I had better not. Even if it would be nice to get to spend more time with you.

[king_of_heroes]

See? You've got other priorities. Those are important. But no worries. I'm sure we'll have a chance, eventually.

[heavenscorpse]

I have responsibilities I can't break even though I love you, Gilgamesh.

[king_of_heroes]

I know, V/V.

[heavenscorpse]

But right now I'm happy that I get to be with you.

[king_of_heroes]

[ The angel will suddenly find a hand patting against her head, maybe ruffling her hair up a little. Awkward parent is awkward. ]

You could say the same for me. It fills my heart with happiness to be able to spend time with my child like this. We should arrange more time off like this in the future.

[heavenscorpse]

[She giggles.] Thankfully it should be easy to get my employer to agree, right?

[king_of_heroes]

I'm not sure~ He can be pretty strict, can't he?

[heavenscorpse]

Some people think he's scary, but I know better.

[king_of_heroes]

Because you're a good girl, of course.

[heavenscorpse]

Bad girls get punished?

[king_of_heroes]

Yes. Just like bad people in general.

[heavenscorpse]

Well then, I'd better not be a bad girl.

[king_of_heroes]

I don't think you could ever be one.

Not even if you tried.

[heavenscorpse]

You shouldn't make dares like that~

[king_of_heroes]

Why not?

[heavenscorpse]

Maybe I'd take you up on them.
