Chapter 05 ~ Video

[ It had been just about a month since a certain golden haired ~~asshole~~ king had simply vanished into thin air, without any sort of notice. He had to assume those that knew of him thought him to be dead or worse. That was exactly his plan. Truth is he had been traveling the world this entire time, doing whatever the hell he pleased since he is the King of Heroes, after all. He had collected many things, which would hopefully prove useful during that accursed Dark Hour. Still, it was odd that he had no contact with anyone. Not even his most prized treasure. Truth be told, she was probably the only reason he bothered coming back. So you can imagine his surprise and amused reaction when he stumbles into his home late in the night, only to find a certain king cuddled up on his bed with a pair of lion cubs. So, she had been using his place in his absence. That was fine, because it provided the perfect opportunity for him to show off. And since this is so early in the morning, we'll assume that videos can be taken and sent to inboxes en masse, so everyone will be greeted to his return as soon as they check their phones. ]

[ For anyone who was here before his disappearance, or even later arrivals that may just know him, a certain golden haired individual will be interrupting your usual morning routine with his arrogant voice and all too charming looks. ]

Mongrels... It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm sure you've all missed being in the presence of your king, not that I can say the same about the lot of you.

[ No, seriously. Why does he even bother addressing them? It's not as if their even worthy of looking upon him. Still, things must be said. This is what kings do, is it not? ]

Upon my return, there are a few things I feel I need to make clear, since you seem incapable of remembering anything for longer than a goldfish. Everything of value in this world is mine, that goes without saying. It is I, and only I can truly determine something's value. You see this condo?

[ Yes, he is sweeping through his own condo, showing off the ridiculous contents that shouldn't even be able to fit. It's like his condo was a pocket space or something. You'll see mountains of useless shit that serves no purpose other than looking pretty and expensive, among piles of swords and closets full of the most crazy expensive clothes ever. ]

Everything is mine. Yes, even them.

[ The camera suddenly enters a first person view as it travels down a hallway, eventually entering a dark room that is only lit by the moonlight. The camera will slowly sweep over the bed, where one may find a

caliburns outfitted in merely a large long-sleeved t-shirt, sleeping soundly between two rather large lion cubs. The look on her face would be enough to make the most manly men's hearts melt. ]

They are mine, and mine alone. Nobody can say otherwise. If any of you mongrels have a problem with that?

[ This would usually be the part where he says something about fighting and proving yourself and blahblahblahblahblah. But instead, they'll only get a close-up on his face. A face that just screams TROLLLLLL. ]

Too bad.

[ And just as suddenly as it had started, the video ends. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Unfortunately for him, the younger of the lion cubs is going to notice him.. causing him to hop up and bound over to inspect the familiar face. Goldie, meet Sir Pounce-a-lot, named for his most notorious feature.

Pouncing.

Which he might be bold enough to do. ]

Too soon.. [ Spoken under her breath as she shifts closer to the cub he left behind. ] You have awakened me too soon.

[ Which is perfectly fine because Gilgamesh is already used to being pounced by a certain someone ~~who he is completely unaware of being gone and will freak about about that at a later time~~. The cub may pounce, but Gilgamesh will actually catch him in his arms, giving a playful tug to some of it's fur. ]

Already grown this much since I left, have you? I wonder exactly what she plans on doing with you when you fully matur--

[ Ah, so that actually woke her up. A shame. He would have been content watching her for a while longer, but he supposed it was better to get this over with sooner than later. He'll put the cub back down and lean over the bed in a totally non-creepy fashion. And he may or may not be brushing a few loose stands of her out of her face. ]

You call this too soon? It's nearly dawn already. You must have been a poor king if you always slept in so late.

[ Listen, someone's had a rough little time since he's left. Getting murdered, fighting shadows, and those zombies.. She's not too eager to get up all too early, silently grateful that the irritation of hair against her nose has ceased.

Yet, there's a bad feeling nursing it's way back to health in her mind, years of trained battle instinct trying to kick in. She was in danger and yet the most she can do is try to stifle a yawn. ]

What is this madness... [ Still with eyes shut. ] To hear a voice that does not belong in my presence.

[ Hey, it's not his fault she can't exactly function without him okay. He had needs that needed to be met, this stupid island be damned. ]

Funny that the one sleeping in my bed should say that. Though if you wish to sleep longer, I suppose I can amuse myself with the cubs.

[ In a fluid motion expected of her, a hand withdraws from underneath the pillow with a knife in hand, pointing it towards him. ]

You!

[ Someone's awake. ]

[ Well, at least she was learning. It's just that he can't be intimated by such a tiny knife. Or, you know, her. ]

Now, Saber. That's no way to greet an old friend.

[ Tiny girl with a tiny knife. So moe. ]

You are no friend of mine!

[ So very moe and harmless. Especially since she's just waking up, you know. She'll probably end up hurting herself more than him if she did try anything. But he'll back away anyways. ]

Then explain why you are sleeping in my bed.

I sought a place to rest my wearisome self. [ Honest, as she always was. ] A last resort if you must know. The staff at the hotel are not fond of the companions I keep and have asked me to house them elsewhere.

[ Tossing the knife onto the pillow not too far away from her grasp, she moves to sit up. ]

I will take my leave now that you have returned.

[ A sigh. Does he really have to lower himself to a civilized manner just to talk to her? What a bother. ]

There's no need for you to go rushing out at this hour. Stay, get yourself properly prepared and eat first. I don't actually mind you staying here.

[ Now there's an idea. ]

Why don't you make this your temporary residence?

[ Yes, yes he does. It's called the art of wooing. Think he has what it takes to tame a third lion? ]

First you insult me for sleeping in until this hour. Now you insult me for leaving at it? It is as though you are grasping for reasons to argue with me, Archer.

[ Perhaps it's someone else who's looking for those reasons, Saber's face scrunching up in a slight pout. How dare he sink to such low tactics, to use food as a bargaining chip against her. No matter what, she wouldn't succumb to such pleasures. Nope. Not one bit. ]

So that you may poison me or perform some other cowardly act? [ With that, her stomach grumbles in defiance. ~~Mmmm poison.~~ ] Why would I wish to remain here? I only sought it out due to how cold the eve was! I have plans to purchase my own place, it was just so late at night, and I could not permit them to be out on their own during the Dark Hour!

[ This is Gilgamesh. Of course he doesn't. ]

Maybe I just like hearing your voice after so long, hm?

[ Oh, and it's such delicious food too. Would you really expect any less from a spoiled king? ]

Do you really expect me to attempt such cowardly acts? And I did said temporary, didn't I? Besides, what better way is there to keep an eye on a troublemaker such as myself than actually dwelling in the same space? And in the meantime, you need not worry about covering any costs yourself. I've already paid for five years rent here. I'll even sleep on the couch. [ Because it's even more comfortable than the bed. Go figure. ]

My voice?

[ Quit trying to woo her, foul temptress. ]

Then you can hear it over these devices they have provided us with.

[ With that, she moves to stand up, and realizes just how short his shirt fell over her body. Well, this is awkward. ~~Yes, those are striped blue and white panties with a lion in the middle.~~ Well, pride indicts that she doesn't back down or else he might have think herself surprised by this.

So she's gonna play it off. As if she had meant to stand up in such an embarrassing manner. ]

I do not need your charity, Archer. Nor do I desire such.

And yet you've already grown this close to the cubs, have you not? And I'm sure you've already put that sword through a lot of battles.

[ He's giving her that look. You know the one. In other words, you are a terrible liar Saber you need him don't deny his rabu. ]

It is as I say. I do not need your charity. If you lavish gifts upon me that require care, then care I will give them. I will not permit these cubs to wander without food nor that blade to not be put to proper use.

[ Waving her hand towards a pile of his accumulated treasury. ]

I will not act as you do. Gathering items and then neglecting to show them any care. Furthermore, it is poor manners to reject a gift even if it is unwarranted.

[ Well, this is going the exact opposite way from how he had planned it. Do you have enough despair, King of Heroes? ]

You know, you're really starting to piss me off, Saber. If you were any other woman, I would have killed you for wasting my time already.

[ An awkward pause, before he exits the room and heads towards the kitchen to fix himself breakfast. Totally not huffy or pouty or anything at all. He is not an overgrown child. Nope. ]

You would have tried and faced defeat.

[ Once he's gone, she's back to getting dressed as quick as she can. In attire identical to the ones she sported in the Fourth War (here comes the king in blaaaack), she follows him out to the kitchen a few minutes later.

Following her are the two cubs naturally. Swayed to her side with unwavering loyalty within a month, they weave between her legs.

Speaking of DEM LEGS, her feet aren't covered in the usual black dress shoes. Nope. Instead she's got cute and very fluffy lion slippers on. ]

Archer, you know my allies will seek to attack you if you made mention of my being here.. right? [ Concern? No, he's totes imagining it. ] You should be cautious about matters of this sort.

[ When she arrives, she'll find Gil in the middle of eating what looks like... what the hell is this even? Well, it's obviously some animal's ribs. What it was in it's previous life is totally anyone's guess. But he is totally omnomnoming away at it without giving a single fuck. ]

So? You act as if they actually pose any threat against me. I dare any of them to try and take me on. [ All dat blinding pride. It's okay, he'll suffer soon enough. ]

[ Saber will peer towards them, wondering if he actually bothered to cook them or anything. More importantly, where is her food? He's not going to seriously eat in front of her, is he? ]

Will you just continue to make enemies out of any who opposes you then?

[ He'll simply point towards the other end of the table where an actual breakfast lays out. Well, what these mongrels apparently consider breakfast. A bowl of eggs, a plate of bacon and sausage. Don't even ask how or why.

...And on the floor is the leftovers of some bloody carcass fresh for the lions to omnomnomnom. Don't worry, it's totally healthy. ]

You don't actually except me to go about making friends with those that dare go against me, do you? I'm not a complete idiot. That is how one gets sent to an early grave.

Yet, you chase fruitlessly after the one that opposes you the most.

[ Just telling it like it is as she sits down at the table opposite of him, going RIGHT TO TOWN with that breakfast. She's not going to let food waste, alright? ]

Not that the grave part matters much. [ Quietly spoken as she picks up a piece of bacon. ] The dead return to life here.

[ Those words strike him hard, not that he tries to show it. He may just glower for a moment or so, before continuing on with his own breakfast. ...Although his sudden change to being silent for more than two seconds may be a dead giveaway. ]

Then I'll just continue to kill them as soon as they return. There are no problems that can not be solved when one puts their mind to it.

[ You know, except whatever the fuck is going on inside of him right now. ]

Archer.

[ She's gentle in placing her fork down as she gives him her full attention. Yes, even over her precious food. ]

Did you not hear? [ May as well be the one to tell him. ] I fell to the grave during your absence. It was an act of deceit and I fell for it as though I were an ingrate.

[ Picking her fork back up. ]

I have also decided to accept your act of kindness. I will remain here with you for a while. [ Peering towards him. ] As a trial. So long as you remain on the couch and I the bed as you agreed to.

[ He didn't like that. Not one bit.

He didn't really like anyone getting to kill these mongrels besides himself, since, you know, they are technically still his as much as he claims to hate and disown them. But knowing that somebody killed her?

He probably knows she won't tell. That isn't going to stop him. ]

Tell me who it was. I'll see to it they get to experience the same unpleasant hell that you experienced.

[ He's not even going to make any mention of the next comment because his phasers are already set to kill. Nobody fucks with his bread and butter. Nobody. ]

A magus.

[ That's as much as he'll get from her regarding who. She's not going to send Sola to her death through Archer as she loses her appetite easily. ]

There is no point to it, Archer. You will kill her, she will kill another in retaliation, and it will become a circle that leads to a bloodbath.
