I will have to make it up to him then.

Don't be too disheartened.

[familiarized]

[ eep ]

I think I am being just disheartened enough.

[originalhipster]

I disagree. He can be a magnificently simple individual. At heart he will have just wanted the problem solved. He will still feel slighted even though it has, but you will be able to assuage that. You are Enkidu.

. . .

Are you insulting yourself . . .

[originalhipster]

[pfft]

No. I tend to think a lot more than him.

[just raises his eyebrows]

It's true.

[familiarized]

I do not doubt your assessment.

[originalhipster]

He has his own strengths, of course. He is the person I used to be, I know them well enough.

[ petsssss ]

Yes, you two are very different but still both Gilgamesh.

[originalhipster]

It's strange to me, how I have settled into being comfortable with his existence.

[familiarized]

. . . I am surprised by that as well. I had wondered how you two would take it . . .

[originalhipster]

I do believe that eventually there will be no avoiding conflict between us. Inevitably there can only be one Gilgamesh.

[originalhipster]

Displeased? That is the conclusion we have both drawn.

[familiarized]

You know what my action will be during that time, I would assume.

[originalhipster]

I did doubt you would stand for it.

[familiarized]

It is counter to my nature to let it pass.

[originalhipster]

I understand that.

[familiarized]

But that is some ways off, is it not?

[originalhipster]

Oh, certainly. Unless he decides the fault for this misadventure lies at my feet and demands compensation. But I would not kill him over that.

[familiarized]

. . .

That seems a bit steep . . .

[originalhipster]

Hmmm? Do you think either of us would not kill to avenge your memory? Don't be naive.

What was lost has been regained.
