An Odd Pair Arrive

[Gilgamesh]

Gilgamesh smirked at the man’s remarks he raised his hand and shook his head, declining for the apple. While Gilgamesh was welcoming his assassin, Ishtar was much more, defensive of his King. It got up from it’s nice cuddling with the King and peered it’s eyes at the man. The Lion bared it’s fangs and growled a little bit before Gilgamesh spoke.

“Ishtar, down! Come here.” His voice echoed through the halls with vindication and the lion cowered away from the man and returned back to the King’s side, it’s eyes still glued to Victor.

The King remained in his seat and continued to pet the lion that lay at his beck and call.

“Why hello Victor. I see you continue to be of use to me. I assume you aren’t here just to see the truth and some simple recruitment. Are you here to reclaim the favor that I so graciously gave you?

His eyes looked uninterested and he snapped his fingers. A humble servant rushed into the room, sweat dripping off of his brow. It was obvious that he was new in the castle and had heard stories of the King’s anger.

“Go fetch me and my guest a bottle of...oh I don’t know. Surprise me. A malicious grin came onto his face and the Servant’s face paled. “Make sure you don’t serve me some of that swill you drink. Your life depends on it.”
