[ It is because Setsuna wants to understand. He believes in reason firmly. There has to be an explanation for everything. Gilgamesh became the person he is for a reason, and he wants to understand that. It's not as if this King beside him is completely atrocious, otherwise they wouldn't be here together in this moment. He knows it's not as simple as black and white. Maybe he's still blinded or is on more on the naive side despite this knowledge, but he will judge it for himself once he fully understands one day.
Right now, all this time... Setsuna was given no ground to hold doubt against this King. No, instead he keeps receiving reasons to stay closely with him. Even though he is constantly overwhelmed by this King, he never sensed true malice yet. Those benevolent, ruby eyes that looks at innocent children with such affection — he will never forget them. His heart tightens as he feels unfamiliar contact. He wants to slide back, turn his face elsewhere — somewhere in his comfort zone. He's gotten better in recent years regarding physical contact, but it's still something he's slowly adjusting to. It's the same way... with him trying to adjust to his emotions, too.
But it didn't feel bad... Is it because he can feel that they're harmless? He knows it to himself, at least in this specific moment, no one will hurt him. This King doesn't want to hurt him. So despite the faint colorization against his cheeks, he does his best to follow. He allows his lips to be curled up, causing a nice expression across his face. He smiles. ]
... Sipas.
[ It's faint, and really short... But Gilgamesh of all people should be able to understand it. "Thank you," in the language they both know too well. ]
