.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?”


[ooc: Both Beatrice and Gilgamesh will be responding to all tags.]

[ Utter silence. ]

[ex_cashcow493]

These calls are incriminating out of context. [ Just going to take note of that now that she's on the other side. ] Does this mean your fascination with me has finally expired, Gilgamesh?

I have yet to finish moving all of my things at that. Surely you have not tainted any of my belongings with whichever woman you have brought into your bed. [ Sorry Beatrice, her beef really isn't with you. She just has stuff there and she might be a bit annoyed that the moment she turns her back, Gilgamesh is off doing who knows whatever. ] At least you kept to someone who can think for themselves instead of corrupting the naive one.

When would be a good time for me to finish packing? [ She doesn't really feel like interrupting any other potential sexy times. And knowing both parties, they would try to drag her into it too. ]

[golden_witch]

[Shiiiit.]

Garviel. So nice to see you. Good morning.~

[greyerrant]

Good morning Mamzel.

[ THe answer is short, clipped, and his face is stone. ]

I see the evening treated you well, then.

[king_of_heroes]

Ah, the Space Sheep. How goes the fight against heresy?

[greyerrant]

It continues, while you waste your time with trifles.

[king_of_heroes]

I fail to see how what occurred last night was a waste of time. I rather enjoyed myself.

[greyerrant]

There was a dark hour, and I went out to face the foe alone. You all could have been killed, it was an inexcusable dereliction of duty.

[golden_witch]

Oh, no worries, Saber. I see nothing that belongs to you in this room and I really didn't make it much further than the bed to be perfectly honest.~

[Out of context? Sure. But this isn't someone she's going to set right. Gilgamesh can do that on his own.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ If she was aiming to strike envy in her, it was a failed attempt. Saber understands the fascination Gilgamesh has with her and so long as she never bends or breaks, it will never go. It's frustrating, to say the least, but it keeps him from getting into trouble too much. ]

You should seek to repair your reputation with the others instead of wasting my time. I care not what you do.

[king_of_heroes]

Please. I wouldn't allow either one of us to be killed off so easily. Besides, this occurred after the dark hour. I'm not so stupid as to run risks that high.

[golden_witch]

You...could say that, yes.

[ THIS IS THE FACE

OF A STAKE

WHOSE HEART

HAS BEEN BROKEN

AGAIN. ]

[greyerrant]

Of course. [ He doesn't offer further comment beyond that. Hard to troll a stone wall. ]

[greyerrant]

[ He doesn't look hurt. He had no expectations. He just looks, withdrawn. The man of stone, blood, steel and war once more, that brief moment of confusion, emotion that she saw during the Ball is gone. Guttered out like a candle in the wind. ]

[king_of_heroes]

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.

[golden_witch]

[Saber should understand fascination very well since she gets so much of it from so many. ♥]

As if I'd worry about something like that. You'd have to have one to repair it.

Those who are bound to what others think lead lonely lives. I'm not that much of a masochist.~

[golden_witch]

Ah, Asmodeus, is everything alright?

[king_of_heroes]

...? What's with that look?

[king_of_heroes]

Besides, I did my duty as you did yours. Nobody had offered to help her yet, so I took the mantle up myself. Is that not what a king would do?

[ex_cashcow493]

[ 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.

[golden_witch]

[She's silent a moment, mentally reviewing the previous conversation. It was easy to see how he could give her such a look.]

O..Oh. In retrospect this might look misleading. I assure you it's not what it seems.

[greyerrant]

I could not say what it seems like. You came escorted by Gilgamesh, you went home with him. That does not seem unusual to me.

[greyerrant]

I cannot say. I was an advisor to monarchs, not one myself. What help did she need?

[youngestlust]

Y-Yes, Master! I was not aware that you wanted to spend the night with Gilgamesh!
