Who: Gil, Enkidu, Slick ... curious parties ... ?
When: Day 38, afternoon (a touch backdated)
Where: shrine room and probably onwardly wandering who knows.
What:

[So sometimes murder happens and then you feel honour-bound to revive somebody. Here's a clue. Never feel that.

There sure are a pair of Babylonians and one Slick in the Shrine Room making faces at each other. Most of said faces are confused.

SOME DINOSAUR RIDING MAY HAVE OCCURRED]

The idiot is the person who breaks his ideals for people of no consequence.

There is no person of no consequence unless they are known to no one.

His majesty would insist otherwise.

[ . . .? ]

[sigh]

Nevermind. Obviously I've misjudged him.

It seems so.

[uuuuuuugh this is why it is a problem when people don't just tell me they care about me

tho i guess i wouldn't have done anything different since I didn't exactly plan it out

uuugh]

The boy who killed you . . .

What about him?

Please do be careful in the future.

He won't do it again.

That does not change the sentiment.

...I'll keep it in mind.

Please do. This is. . . going to be troublesome, I think.

Don't make ridiculous meaningless sacrifices.

"Meaningless sacrifices. . ."

If someone would be bothered by your death I cannot call it meaningless, especially if I am bothered. . . hm, perhaps, especially if they mean something to me.

And if someone important to you is bothered by the very sacrifice made? How is that an acceptable trade?

If you mean my king it . . . at the time it would have bothered me to have him take the full payment.

If you mean otherwise, we all make decisions selfishly at times.

I mean neither of you should have taken any payment.

Why would we not?

Because this wasn't worth it.

He thought it was and so did I. "Worth" . . . that is put on actions and people by others. The King of Uruk is part god and practically made of wealth and I am made of nothing but common dirt. So worth is forged by other means.

What reason is there to protest it?

You're making even less sense than usual. You don't care that there's something wrong with him?

[ thoughtful pause ]

I care but I do not know why. That makes it somewhat empty, doesn't it?

...what have you forgotten, then?
