[idk what YOU are doing, but slick has gotten tired of being holed up and has headed downstairs to clear the baths of any renegade bathmonkeys so that he can then enjoy himself in a warm hotspring

he is still at the part where here is trying to stab the suckers though]

How could there even be this many...

I wish you wouldn't.

I've been provoked.

Yes well, decide if avoiding dealing with people coming after your fingers is worth being at odds with me, because I have an alliance with her too, you know?

Don't pick fights you won't win.

I may not win but I can still make losing extremely uncomfortable.

Mhm, well . . . if your loyalty to that is so much greater than your loyalty to me, then that is an unfortunate situation. One assuaged far more easily by removing her than giving ground to you . . .

[this is a healthy relationship]

[yes we are super good at this

puuuulls you down if allowed because I want to be able to pet your hair while discussing the conditions of our divorce]

If I weighed you against each other you would obviously win, but not by such a margin that I'd stand by while you killed her. And even if I didn't rather like her, which I do, you can't offer me what she does.

[leans obligingly for a moment, but then straightens again, because that's an awkward way to lean]

Ohhh, yes. The little trick with your feelings, that's her, isn't it. So I suppose it is not even a question of whether your loyalty to her is greater, so much as whether your loyalty to what she has built for you is greater. And yet . . . I am not necessarily deterred by the thought of you fighting me.

[you could just lie down '-']

My life would be far less enjoyable without that 'little trick'.

[saah]

And I don't mind the idea either, but you realize you would have to find someone else to lend you power.

Mhm, so that's how it is . . . ? If I were to attack her, our contract expires?

It would be stupid to fight someone who's going to use my own power against me.

[hmm. i think i am displeased. smilingly thoughtful despite it.]

And yet I made you aware of my intentions toward the gods some time ago.

[oh honey]

And I made you aware that I like her some time ago as well.

Hmm! Then I suppose we had best end our contract now. I am an unstoppable force, so our conflict is inevitable.

[still think you're adorable k]

I refuse.

Hmmm. I'm unsure whether I can permit that. I will need to find a new energy source before I try my luck with your god, you see.

Aren't you escalating a little quickly just because you're feeling stubborn? I've always been aware we would probably conflict eventually, but the only reason it's happening now is because you've decided you would rather sacrifice your current 'master' and everything I offer you and condemn me to misery despite being rather fond of me than deal with a god periodically sending people looking for your fingers.

I would have you face your nature. I do not believe that is condemning you to misery or abandoning you. And I know better than all that if you constantly deny the gods, the stakes grow higher and higher . . . would you rather me wait until she tries for something I would rue losing?

This is my nature, Gilgamesh. I reject what I do not desire.

[sigh]

You may be set on it, but don't take this the wrong way; I'm not convinced you can even scratch her. With me or anyone else lending you power.

Everything that can take shape can die in it. One way or another. It is just a case of finding the proper route.

You could still start with someone else.

I am naturally inclined toward starting with the one who started with me.

She doesn't want to kill you.

But I want to kill her.

[duh.]

So you are still the one taking this to a level that is making you so unhappy.
