[ Part of him had expected to hear something like that from Seteth. A smaller part of him asked why he would say these things knowing this, but perhaps he'd have rather heard the man say it. Such was the nature of King Gilgamesh.
These little, but amusing protests were simply more proof that the man he had been endeared towards hadn't changed from the honest man he had appeared to be. ]
Hm, I do suppose it would be odd to hear yourself champion your long-lived status over others, like myself. No, that would be far too ill-suiting of someone of your nature.
[ He smirked again...or rather, it was possible it hadn't really faded from his expression much. ]
Therefore, out of the generosity and magnanimity of my heart, I have decided to grant your request. There are appropriately far more qualities that you exhibit which warrant praise for me to give when I decide to. Just as I have a short few moments ago. Besides, it would be unfortunate to see you pout for the rest of evening just because I could not do such a simple thing for you.
[Seteth's mildly annoyed expression softens a bit at that, because it's... well, something that makes more sense to him, really.]
I thank you for that, and really, the same is true for you. I have known other individuals with lifespans not unlike ours who are... well, I suppose I should not cast too many aspersions on them. Let us just say that I enjoy your company and I believe your qualities as an individual are the reason for that, and I would feel the same even if you had a human lifespan.
