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.

So like, you guys are in a relationship, then?

I'm glad for you, Enkidu. Really. I could have told you that you probably had friends.

[enkidoh]

aren't all friends having a relationship? it is the result of their friendship, not? or is the relationship between gil and me different?

you are my platonic friend as well, louis.

[rightfoot]

I mean, a relationship that isn't platonic implies different things. Like you're dating.

And you're my friend, too, Enkidu.

[enkidoh]

i have heard more people saying that. when two friends start to do this dating they become boy friends, not?

i am glad to hear that.

☺️

[rightfoot]

Boyfriends. Girlfriends. Or just - significant others. It implies love beyond friendship.

[enkidoh]

and what is the difference between love and friendship?

is dating a sign of love? or is appreciating a friend a sign of love?

[Of course, humanity knows a wide variety of great love stories. But does that apply to their situation?]

how would one know if what you feel is love? is fondness love?

[rightfoot]

I mean...romantic love and friendship is really different. It's - hm.

[ Bad person to ask. What did Haru used to say? She didn't want money, she just wanted him to love her. ]

When you love someone that's all you want from them. Nothing else.

[enkidoh]

but how do you know that you love someone? and what will he give me in return?

[rightfoot]

Uh. Hopefully he gives you love in return. And I don't know. I think it's different for everyone, Enkidu. It could be that you accept things about them that you may not like from other people. It could just be that you just want to be near them and nothing else.

I've never been in love, though.

[enkidoh]

how will i know that it is love then? so if i express a wish to never want to leave his side it is because of love. because i like to stay at his side. his presence makes me very happy.

i cannot say that i have been either. love is a very human emotion, not?

[rightfoot]

I don't think it's necessarily restricted to humans or anyone like me.

You seem like you'd be capable of it, too. I think staying by someone's side is it, too, though.
