[Enkidu watches him silently. The look on his face changes again. It becomes a little distant. And all they can do is patiently wait for him to respond and when he does they merely smile.]

One day we will part. I want to leave you behind knowing that there is a reason for you to look forward.

[It is difficult to explain to him why they want this. To be so selfish in the face of a king. To not trust the strength of his will and the exceptional way his soul could grow.]

Thank you for your generosity, my king. [Enkidu pauses and smiles.] And thank you for your kindness, my friend.
