tvk | [Video] Backdated to Monday Afternoon

[ Anyone happening to check the network this afternoon will be greeted to the grinning face of a certain witch, who currently happens to be hanging off the side of Gil's bed while kicking her feet happily. Never mind that she isn’t the actual owner of the device. It seems the king that is usually present is occupied otherwise. Behind her are a couple of suitcases that look as if they'll burst any second now. And there's two more that lie open and currently have items being thrown in them from off screen. ]

"Hello, everyone~! This is a courtesy message from yours truly and the brat prince over here. We'll be out of town for the next week or so. I know you'll all miss me terribly.” [ With that she’ll glance away from the phone.] “You're kidding, right? You are not going to need a third pair of those awful pants. You have plenty. Pack something halfway decent or I'll refuse to be seen with you."

"Does it look like I'm kidding, woman? If I'm going to be traveling the world and hauling your ass around, I'm going to look good doing it. You can just deal with it."

"Siiiiigh. Do you see what I have to put up with? He's impossible and we're going to need two people to come with us just to carry the prima donna's bags.” [ That last part might have been purposely loud.] “At any rate, I'm sure you'll all be able to hold down the fort until we return.~ "

"Tch. I can carry them myself. I'm not as weak and feeble as you apparently are. And don't forget to ask."

"Of course not. You should be terribly buff from carrying the weight of that ego around all day. Hm? Oh, is there anyone who could possibly check on the lions now and again while we're out? They're very tame. I'll be sure to bring back presents for whoever agrees~! I’ll miss you all. Play nice while we’re out, okaaaay~?”

At this point, I don't think you could ever bother me. Unless I'm trying to sleep.

I promise to only bug you then if it's an emergency.

You really are too kind for your own good, you know.

Ah, I should pick something up for you. But I wonder what? That damn woman had to pick Italy of all the places in the world. Maybe I'll just bring you back some of their sweets. How does that sound?

That would be wonderful! Thank you so much, Gilgamesh.

Don't thank me before it happens. There could always be something that prevents it, and then you would be disappointed.

But the thought is nice.

I suppose so.

Mm, I hate to drop a load on your shoulders, but could I also ask you to make sure that dumb woman doesn't ruin the bookstore while I'm gone? Someone needs to keep an eye on her or she might tear everything down.

[Serious nod.] I'll do as much as I can.

Thank you, V/V. I appreciate it. I'll make sure you pick up something extra nice for you as reward.

Oh, you don't have to.
