.005 ♛ [Video] Late Thursday Morning.

[golden_witch]

Once again, a video is broadcast across the network without either party's knowledge due to carelessness. Viewers may first notice a rather striking young woman sitting upright against a flurry of pillows wearing what appears to be a certain king's shirt. The second thing they will notice is a fairly fancy looking bedside table with various dishes sitting upon it. And lastly, there's the said king moving to sit on the opposite side of the bed wearing nothing but heart print boxers.

"Oh, you're finally awake? I thought you might sleep all day."

The witch will gently wipe the sleep from her eyes and give him a quizzical cant of her head.

"You made me breakfast?"

He’ll just laugh, pleased with himself.

"Of course. Even if you eventually returned to the land of the living, I doubt you'll be able to move around too much for the rest of the day."

His words would stir a yawn.

"Nn. You're right. You were far too hard on me for my first time, you know."

"Don't expect me to lower my standards just for you. If you want to play with a king, you have to keep up."

Huff.

"But, you promised to be gentle, liar."

"So, I got a little carried away. You can't blame me, can you?  It's been a while since I've had anyone as willing as you."

"I guess not. But you didn’t have to dirty my dress like that."

"Not my fault. You have to be prepared for anything when dealing with me."

"You'll at least be a gentleman and make me some tea, riiiiight~?"

"What am I, your personal butler now?"

"Yes. And I expect you to serve it to me as well. You owe me."

"I owe you for teaching you how to actually use your body? What kind of bullshit is that?"

"You never told me you'd be working me so hard. I think you just liked watching me struggle. You really are a jerk.~"

"Well, it's not every day you get to see a beautiful woman sweat and pant so hard."

"You should feel privileged to have seen me in a position no other man has.~"

"You should be the one who feels privileged. After all, how many women can brag about The King Of Heroes being their first partner?"

"Whatever. Just get me my tea and I'll be happy."

"And you dare call me the brat. Fine, princess. Just give me a moment."

Of course, now that the king's attention has broken away from the troublesome witch, his eyes just happen to catch a glimpse of a certain phone that must've  been knocked over sometime earlier. He'll simply give it a dirty grin and greet any viewers.

"Oh, good morning, Prospero."

“W…WHAT?”

That they are. But it's still fun to play along with the less informed. [ Yup, he's all too amused. Perhaps this modern technology did have it's warrants. If for nothing else than to provide amusement for himself.

But getting into a bit more serious of a mood, he'll cast his gaze to what is assuredly what was once her room. ]

Arturia, do you really take me for that kind of man? Not a soul beyond the cubs have entered your room since you departure. Although I can not guarantee that they haven't messed some things up. You know how growing cats are, yes?

[ Another pause. They still had the same hours, but he supposed he could provide special arrangements to make things less annoying. ]

Pick a day off for yourself, and you may come collect your things then.

[ He was being reasonable towards her. It was almost unfair in a way, as unfair as their relationship ever could be. Was he lying in wait for her to fall just so he could laugh as she struggles to keep everything from sinking under? As a lion, she must protect what she believes to be her's, but in the same definition, she must hunt weaker prey.

Just as he does. With a tiny huff, she holds up her head with the usual pride she retained. ]

You need not do that. [ A scoff follows. ] Unless you are suddenly terrified of my presence, Gilgamesh? Just keep your whores out of my sight and I shall not concern myself with their well-being.

[king_of_heroes]

[ Well, this was only going to make things slightly more awkward. He'll just let out an exasperated sigh and rolls his one way or another. ]

You know me better than that, Arturia. There are few things I fear. You are certainly not one of them. I only thought you would want to spend time with both cubs. Or do you intend on splitting them, as well?

[ And then he'll give his own little huff. ]

I'm fairly certain I have no whores in this realm of existence. I haven't had any since the end of my time as king.

[ex_cashcow493]

Then perhaps I need to give you reason to fear me, Gilgamesh. [ This would be a more intimidating tactic should it come from someone who was barely over five feet. ] Should we do battle once more just so that I might bring you down to your knees?

[ Fine, she's a little mad. Here she is dealing with the internal drama of Diarmuid and Shirou. Yet, within days he's replaced her presence with someone else and it was one she was unfamiliar with. Yes, there's a sting inflicted upon her that shows when he makes mention of splitting the cubs. ]

It is lonesome without. [ Yes, even though she had her beloved it wasn't as though they shared the same bed. Morals and all. ] I forgot how cold it is without another heartbeat alongside your own.

[ She's not even going to push her opinion of the woman in his bed right now, because honestly anything she would have to say about the subject wouldn't be nice. All she can do is be as polite as she can be. ]

Gilgamesh, am I free to come and go as I see fit? [ It comes out a bit too fast and sudden for the kingly girl as she glances off to the side. ] If I wished to do so, that is.

[king_of_heroes]

[ He'll give an amused smile to that comment, shaking his head. ] Considering the fact that I nearly killed you the last time we met in battle, I'll pass. At least, until you prove yourself worthy of being challenged. You need to stop fighting every night. When you are hurt, rest. Don't force yourself to do the things your body refuses. When you realize that you can not simply do the things you once did with ease, perhaps then I will accept your challenge.

[ Ah, but her naivety was rather endearing. He could tell she was angry, but why? Had not the same happened with her on multiple occasions? Ah, better to move on. ]

...Do not say such things to me, when you know they would only serve to fill my head with more false hopes. I know where your heart lies, Arturia. Enjoy your chance to be with him. You may not get the chance again, should this place decide to devour either of you and send you home.

[ Yes, it hurt to admit it. But that's what she wanted, wasn't it? If she was just happy, that was good enough for him. He could set these conflicting emotions aside for the time being. ]

I would normally object, but I do suppose Gal will miss his brother. It would be too cruel to keep them from each other for so many days on end.
