video; [KINGOFHEROES]
[Greetings and salutations, comrades of ALASTAIR! The face of a handsome young man opens the feed today, smiling wide and surrounded by lions on his bed. Yes, that's right, lions. Shishi, his mount, sits in the background, with his mate nestled nearby. And atop him, crawling across his legs, over his shoulders, even rubbing at his face, are cubs, golden and white and feisty. They growl and chirp at the jewelry floating just a few feet away, and a particularly brave one bats at it.
Their parents, as well as Gilgamesh himself, look appropriately proud.]
Good day. For those of you who have not had the pleasure of meeting me before, I am Gilgamesh, King of Heroes, and your resident lion tamer. I bred them as a hobby, back in my native Uruk, and so I have once again come into possession of several cubs.
[The cubs themselves appear no more than six weeks old. Gilgamesh has to shift a little to accommodate them, as they are absolutely intent on making the broadcast difficult by shoving their little furry bodies everywhere. Not that it bothers him much—he's laughing under his breath.]
They have all been weaned from their mother and thus are ready for distribution. Alas, I cannot keep so many for myself; I aim to find good homes for them among you all. I do ask you bear in mind these are wild animals at heart, requiring a great degree of time and attention to train.
[Though you'd never know it, seeming so harmless, so adorable.. After a time, Gilgamesh surrenders, and gets swallowed up by their insistent pawing.]
They are not... just... housecats to sit on a shelf and... w-wait, do not touch it...!
[The necklace goes flying down the hall as a mischievous cub bounds after it. Gilgamesh will snatch it back... eventually.]
(( All lions have now found loving homes! Thanks for the interest, everyone! ))

[ There's no need to ask whom he means, is there? ]
no subject
I believe her to be your keeper, not the other way around.
no subject
no subject
[Got it in one.]
no subject
As I said - she doesn't need another.
no subject
However, I believe we are both in agreement that such a gift would go a long way in establishing good will, of which I am in forever short supply.
no subject
You want to bribe her.
no subject
[Though not altogether inaccurate.]
no subject
Don't go too far with it.
no subject
[Of course he will anyway.]
no subject
Of course, you have.
no subject
[Gilgamesh shifts into a teasing tone, the sort he'd only dare to use in private, given the familiarity it suggests.]
You adored Shishi. Do not act as though any child of his would be such a burden upon you, as though it would not make her very happy.
no subject
I did not 'adore' him.
[ Of course, you didn't, Archer. Not even a little bit. ]
She dotes on that bird of hers enough as it is.
no subject
[Oh, Gilgamesh. You're such a card.]
no subject
The linefais should be audible even though it's not visible. ]
no subject
[Sighing in resignation.]
I believe it will be good for Rin. And she seemed very adamant; I find her a difficult woman to refuse.
no subject
Just don't get carried away.
[ Or get her carried away. Whichever. ]
no subject
[Sorry, Archer. You're just too much fun to poke at.]
no subject
[ It's a shame his sense of humor isn't all that great, sometimes... ]
no subject
[It's a shame that Gilgamesh has no sense of shame whatsoever.]
no subject
[ Yeah, that's all he's got. ]
