[ Gilgamesh just laughs under his breath, typically haughty, but now at least their expressions align more. rather like old times for Kirei. sizing this Kirei up, the King of Heroes has a distinctly different impression of him than his NPC counterpart. both have the same aura of being somehow incomplete entities, individuals who simply provoke an unsettled or even hostile feeling in those that they encounter, but there is, well, flavor to this Kirei. Gilgamesh does not yet apprehend it, but he shall soon. he deems himself the ultimate judge of character, even with sha naqba imuru having been dimmed in this world. ]
It is as you said. You are too weak at this time. I would be insufficiently entertained.
[ Kirei himself probably does not know that Gilgamesh is no longer a Servant, but a Witch, and that he has lost the use of all his original powers, including Ea and Enkidu. as the King of Heroes has been a member of the Coven for months now, of course he has been learning spells and gaining abilities, but his all-confident persona obscures his own relatively less powerful status. at least for now.
-- but there was one thing Kirei said that was far more important than anything else, and this must be addressed. ]
What ...? What absurdity is this that you speak of? Your Servant was none other than I?
[ by now, of course, Gilgamesh has come to learn something of this Fuyuki Grail War. he even saw a glimpse of his own battle with the King of Conquerors and its aftermath. thinking upon it now... ah, strange though it may seem, it has never once occurred to Gilgamesh to wonder precisely who was supplying him mana during said war. but of course he had a Master, and certainly the Master was not that mongrel Hakuno. now Gilgamesh looks at Kirei as though seeing him for the first time. ]
... if you are deceiving me, I shall not hesitate to strike you down. [ really, it's not cute, Kirei!! ]
Yet, if you are honest, speak further. I must know more of this.
(have fun ~~~savoring the gil confusion, kirei)
