[It takes a lot of time tapping this message with less fingers but Enkidu manages.]

recently my truest friend has been summoned from the mirrors but for now he lacks platonic friends to spend time with. he has been living a solitary life as a king and i do not want him to be alone anymore.

his name is gilgamesh. he is very fond of his treasures and also knows the greatest stories about them. he enjoys wine as well. he is great to spar with and likes to go on adventures. his favorite color is gold. once he introduced me to beer and bread and allowed me to eat and drink everything i wanted.

would people like to become his platonic friend? or another sort of friend? as i know that many sorts of friendships are possible.

let me know if you have questions or want to meet him. he can be a bit fussy at first but please do not let it get to you. he has been alone. for a long time.

of course i am kind. he is my friend. i do not want him to grow lonely again.

[Oh?]

yes you may.

[showsnopiety]

As I said, you're very kind.

But as for the slang...drinking often refers to having alcoholic drinks, and most friends are already considered platonic. Also, most of the names you see on the messages are not people's literal name.

Also, Gilgamesh is more of your life partner then a friend.

And also...have you ever used money before?

[enkidoh]

when you drink you drink. you can drink beer or wine or water. i prefer beer. or ale.

edelgard told me there are different sort of friendships. platonic ones and true ones and friendships in between. someone said to me that gil is my boy friend. but that is not true, for he is most definitely a man. i think he would not appreciate it to be called a boy.

a life partner? that cannot be right. if gil were my life partner i would have stayed at his side for his entire life.

i have used coins.

Human speech tends not to be literal. Not always. Sometimes they try to shorten it so the message can come along more quickly.

Drinking applies to drinking any fluid, but also short for drinking alcohol. I will say that I do enjoy drinking wine. Red is preferable.

They're also saying that you have a romantic, sexual, and platonic relationship with Gilgamesh.

Just like how your commitment to him was for the rest of your life if not his. We know you would have stayed if you could have.

Have you used coins in this city?

[enkidoh]

you must teach me this. because i fear i lack this knowledge.

but that remark about drinking seems insignificant. because that depends on how a human interprets the word.

gil is my best friend. i will always stand at his side. and we do pleasure one another and i know he wishes to take saber as a wife.

[The thing is, with missing fingers it takes a long time to type a message.]

i have. but there is also paper money.

[showsnopiety]

That's fine. I lack knowledge too-we can help each other. But you may have some misunderstandings you can clear up beforehand. Such as with slang terms and using money-

Wait.

Wait.

Did he propose to Saber?

[What a...dumb...dumb...stupid...boy....]

[enkidoh]

i do not know if he has proposed. but he seems quite taken by her and he expressed a wish to take her as his wife.

[A pause.]

between us, i do not believe she will agree.

[showsnopiety]

She certainly would not take to such an invitation. Honestly, he's lucky she's not the kind of person who would take the insult out of his hide.

[Caren would, if she was in Saber's shoes.]

Until he understands her and treats her as an equal, he will only be refused, again and again.

[enkidoh]

i fear it is like that, yes.

i hope he will overcome this.

[showsnopiety]

Which part?

It may be good that he's refused. You and I have already had the hard lesson of how this place changes us.

It may be better for him to know he needs to work with the world, in order to reshape it into a pleasing image.
