lol heads up if you try to make a candle w food coloring, the food coloring will just sink to the bottom of the glass, and when the flame eventually reaches the bottom all the food coloring will catch fire and become one giant tall flame that you cannot possibly blow out and the glass will start to crack and then you’ll throw your tea on it in a panic and then the extremely hot food coloring will boil and sizzle horribly and then the glass will shatter. please take my word on this lmfao.

This is why division of labor necessarily exists in a city-state. If you lack a capacity, you purchase from someone who possesses the requisite abilities.

Tch, were my vault here, I should have innumerable candles, enough that I would even spare one for so lowly and hapless a being as yourself. Call it a rare act of royal pity.

Mister King!

[ flat lights up a little at the sight of him. he’s so so majestic. says the weirdest stuff—almost as weird as his own. ]

Thank you so much for your pity and insults, but I don’t need it! This was an experiment! It’s always much more fun to make things instead of buying them, because I get to personalize it to my taste. Next time, I absolutely won’t fail!

Oh? Alchemy, is it?

[ it is a class of magic here, so why not.

also, lies, Gilgamesh is completely down to Earth. just wait. ]

Had you thought to create a Philosopher's Stone with this so-called candle of food coloring? That would seem the eventual ambition in such a craft. Otherwise I do not see why you should want to put edible dye into your candle. When I establish my kingdom more properly, I shall see to it that you are assigned someone to oversee your endeavors. Then you may use that so-called food coloring in the service of my feasts to add great beauty.

Wouldn't you be honored by such a noble job, mongrel?

The philosopher's stone is pretty outdated, but I guess I could try to do that! but you wouldn't use food dye for that. [ flat chuckles. in reality, though, he's kind of thinking about it already...can you make a philosopher's stone with food dye and candle wax? ]

That said, enkidu asked me if I could teach them how to make edible candles! If we succeed at that, then I'd be super happy to take you up on your offer! It's very nice of you!

Ha, I shall permit you to use my property as your base of operations should you remunerate me properly. As King, it is natural that you must first pay tribute to my glory.

[ hm. he seems to size Flat up a little more, gazing over the video. ]

Though, if you are as poor as I suspect, I may require that you offer to pawn your valuables. Or shall I give you a secured loan?

Such preliminary measures are quite necessary, as I am the arbiter of humanity, here as elsewhere.

Moreover, I must have insurance should you engage in further of your destructive tendencies. Contractual methods are the only means of maintaining order in a human civilization.
