[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.

Your dedication to your friend is truly admirable, Enkidu.

he is my only and truest friend. he deserves it.

do you want to be his platonic friend as well? he is of the archer class. i would like it to spend time with you both.

[ua_duibhne]

[oh dear it's very hard to turn him down when he's so earnest]

Perhaps. He must be quite an exceptional man if he's so dear to you- that alone makes me curious.

[enkidoh]

i am very fond of him. a long time ago he was the one who called me a friend. it has been an amazing thing, since i have always been a weapon. i have been a weapon created to make him return to the gods.

he is the reason why i exist.

will you meet him?

[There's a lot there to take in but, thought-provoking as it is, Diarmuid stills his metaphorical tongue. He isn't qualified to comment on it, neither philosophically nor with the knowing depth of a close friend. Instead, he files away the information in his mind, hopeful that he'll receive more of an explanation later.]

I would be honoured- assuming a king would have any interest in meeting a mere knight, that is.

[enkidoh]

gil can be a bit fussy and might call you a mongrel. i will tell him not to do that. my platonic friends aren't mongrels.

[ua_duibhne]

[Genuinely, Diarmuid had intended to meet with this friend of theirs but the situation has... changed. With his identity revealed, he's far less inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt- that is to say, not at all.]

I'm sorry to say this but if that truly is your companion who posted that video then I already know him. I don't know if it would be wise for us to meet again.

[enkidoh]

[Ah, that response. Enkidu sighs deeply. He should get in touch with his human side more. Much more.]

have you also fought the moon cell? i believe that is how gil called it. a moon cell, some sort of old recording device disguised as the grail.

or did gil beat you in a battle?

[Big long sigh.]

if he gets hostile i will intervene and tell him to stop. at times he tends to listen to me.

[ua_duibhne]

Neither of those things. I cannot say that your friend has wronged me in any personal way- I would have relished the opportunity to fight him- but the Grail War in which we fought was

I'm sorry. It sounds as though he might not be quite the same man I knew. I will give him a chance, if you believe it is the right thing to do. I trust your judgement.

[Enkidu frowns a little at the device. It seems Diarmuid wanted to tell a story but didn't finish it.

They fidget with the device for quite a long time before they manage to activate a 'private' function.]

you can tell me. i would like to know.

he needs to meet new people because i want him to look to the future that lies ahead. and i want him to like humans. but i do not expect him to show kindness to you or to others. and perhaps it will take a long time before he will.
