[Gilgamesh was already irritable from being yanked here and being forced to wait until he'd calmed down enough not to quite literally flip tables -- and wardrobes, and other heavy objects -- once he was finally released. Him? The King of All, pulled here by some trifling godling without even properly greeting him and according him the necessary respect? But the piece de resistance was, without a doubt, the fact that he could no longer open the Gate to access his rightful Treasury. The King of Heroes was feeling downright murderous. He doesn't so much as even acknowledge that there's anyone else out there in lieu of threatening the gods who brought them all there.]

Gods... [he smirks slightly and chuckles, but then he's back to simmering anger] Don't make me laugh. Any so-called god who would request an audience with the King, yet fails to so much as appear, is merely another cur to be properly disciplined.

I assure you that your punishment will be sufficiently agonising, mongrel, if my Treasury is not restored to me and I am not returned. Do not waste my time with offers of compensation; there is no treasure you could possibly offer in exchange for the one I was about to claim.

Several things, as a matter of fact. Strong opponents, confliced human beings... things of those natures.

[ She frowns at him. ]

You enjoy the suffering of others?

[gate_of_babylon]

Not in itself, no. Suffering in this era abounds, there's hardly anything special about it. However...

[Smiles]

Humankind are creatures in need of adversity. When they become too complacent, they become little more than a plague.

But suffering itself is not enough to interest me. That comes from those who have a wish too great to achieve with feeble human strength, and become something greater than human to achieve it. Such a person is altogether tragic and beautiful.

And what'll you do if you can't find that here...?

[Matter-of-factly]

Had I found nothing of interest here, I would simply make these 'gods' pay for their impudence.

But other things have aroused my interest, so I shall stay my punishment.
