eyes own icons and casually throws this one at you

[effulge]

[ He takes in the information Kirei provides him, and weighs and measures it in the span it takes to tilt his chin up. It takes the punch out of their movements, and the thought over who might be among them, but Gilgamesh has never held question of his own strength and abilities. His words are just as powerful as he is, and these troubles aside - he wonders what plan Kirei will concoct in order to seek what he wants. If he is to be exposed for all that he is, and if he is to follow him in his pursuits - well, he shall see what manner of entertainment it will bring.

However, Tokiomi's daughter... Such an irony that is - almost laughable. However, he had been present for their discussion, after all. He assumes which he means.

There is a sharpness that edges his smile: ]

And that would quell you? [ There's much riding on that answer, even as he considers. He casts his eyes to the selections beyond him, and seizes another by the neck with all his usual ease. It betrays all lack of fear, all lack of trepidation. He does not wait nor hand it to him - rather, he places it directly into the basket Kirei holds with little more bother than the lazy shift of heavy bracelets and - almost absently, as he straightens: ]

It shall suffice.

i'm just abusing these icons at this point

[ Kirei debates, briefly, telling Gilgamesh that Saber is here as well. It would surely amuse the King of Heroes, and to not tell him might sour his mood -- should Gilgamesh accuse him of hiding the fact -- but Kirei doesn't find it to be the most pressing matter.

He has been hindered, briefly, when coming to this place. There was so much to adjust to... but nothing that would shackle him. He still has the same desires; he simply needs to give them new shape.

His response is immediate and without doubt. ]

No.

[ The response makes Kirei grin faintly, and he nods his head. Gilgamesh won't pay for this, but will he not accompany Kirei at all? Unlikely. He steps aside, moving down the aisle with the basket in his hand. ]

I will only be a moment.

[ Kirei finds himself again feeling an uncharacteristic excitement. He hasn't had a decent drink in some time -- and not for lack of the wine itself, but for lack of a partner to taste it with. ]

sorts through small collection of icons to abuse

[effulge]

[ Gilgamesh would argue that these matters are ones to be discussed with relative expediency, but there is, of course, potential amusement in finding such a treasure in the sprawl of the city. If there was one fact that remained, Gilgamesh was fond of such gems – and even fonder of obtaining them.

But, the immediacy of his answer is one that pleases. It reflects in the peculiar brightening of eyes, the smoothing his expression. Here, he speaks with the mirrored inclination of his chin. A rarity it is, to gain that much of him, but here he has earned it. Here, he continues to.

But, Kirei is not incorrect. Even if there is moment’s pause, he follows in his wake. After all, did he not say that he would? That aside, the prospect of wine and suitable company increases the odds. ]

oh god i love that one

[god_damned]

[ Kirei feels an odd sense of satisfaction as Gilgamesh follows him, but it is a muddied sensation. This reunion ought to be one which pleases him, but the knowledge of their future hangs over him like a guillotine. Gilgamesh obviously (blessedly) does not remember much more than Kirei himself. If he did, Kirei doubts he would still be standing.

The checkout is fairly simple: his basket is light enough that he can use the express aisle, and his dog tags are used for payment without complaint. Kirei is aware that imPorts suffer a severe discrimination in this place, but Kirei has experienced precious little himself. It appears that the natives will respect a man of God, no matter whether or not he is alien to them; that role has power.

That finished, he turns to Gilgamesh, bags in hand. ]

The church is not far. We can speak privately there.
