[ And who would enjoy disappointing a king who regards himself so highly?

Gilgamesh does have a point, however, and Kavi acknowledges it with a dip of his head. They can banter more later because Gilgamesh seems more than ready and rather eager to go to a place where he can enjoy being lavished with attention, bathed in it until he's been polished to a shine.

Kavi does take the time to point out a few places as they walk further into Gobang Alley. Some he warns Gilgamesh of (Not worth the money unless you would like to chat and nothing else. Saw something rather unsanitary happen over there, too, so I'd keep my distance.) and others he praises. But he truly did leave his personal gem for last.

The building looks more elegant than the others, with glowing red and yellow lights in the windows. It's still early and business hasn't picked up yet which is perfect - Presumably, gilgamesh would like to have as much attention as possible. Through the open doorway, low laughter can be heard before a young woman steps out with a spring in her step, nodding at them with a smile before she continues on her merry way.

Someone has had a good time. ]

Welcome to the Shrinking Violet.

[Gilgamesh was proud, indeed, but he knows an expert when he sees one. He makes note of everything Kavi says, files it away for future reference—reference he'll make ample use of, as he'll most certainly be returning here again and again whenever he has free time and freer coin. He nods politely in response, and for once lets the other person do most of the talking. He'll be doing plenty soon enough. Or maybe none at all, depending...

When Kavi pauses before one building in particular, Gilgamesh glances up at the bright lights, takes a liking to them immediately; they are his signature colors, after all. Spying the exiting woman in a cheerful mood, he perks up like a dog on a leash. One might even consider it a cute reaction, as now Gilgamesh appears very, very eager, invisible tail practically wagging.]

Well, the name could do with a bit of touching up, but...

[Gilgamesh breaks away from his partner and marches right in! Kavi really shouldn't have expected anything less from the daring King.]

[umberly]

Don't mock the name, Gilgamesh, the ladies here are rather fond of it. Unless you enjoy being scolded, in which case I recommend you go right ahead.

[ Scolded, Kavi says, and smiles fondly at a memory. The only workers here tend to be more on the feisty side, despite their initial demure appearance and they will surely take good care of Gilgamesh and his, ah, behavioral issues.

And any other issues he might need help with.

Shaking his head quietly at the way Gilgamesh strides into the building like he owns it, Kavi trudges after him, nodding to those faces who are familiar. He's happy for Gilgamesh to explore on his own, for now, the Madam will surely tell him off soon enough.

And there she is, in all of her strict beauty, gliding towards them. ]

[Gilgamesh makes a beeline for a trio of cuties in the corner. He quickly starts chatting them up, however shockingly he does mind his hands. Gilgamesh seems to be taking a curious but undoubtedly calculated approach, letting his charisma attract others to him rather than forcing it. He's loud, certainly, but in the way that speaks to earnest confidence instead of faux bravado. The act may work simply because Gilgamesh believes in it, and fully commits to it, confirming that this is by far not his first time in a house of pleasure.

But indeed, eventually the Madam does take notice, and Gilgamesh departs from current company to extend her a cordial bow and polite greeting.]

Good evening to you.

[He keeps his tone civil. Careful. Because though whores were whores, harlots were highly respected in Gilgamesh's culture. Guess who knows to mind the difference here.]

[umberly]

[ Do excuse Kavi as he leans back and watches Gilgamesh with apparent indifference. He stance is relaxed and his hands tucked into his pocket, he's even doing a bit of a wall lean as Gilgamesh works his magic over the trip of cuties, who seem to be, at the very least, amused by his direct approach and his confidence. And receptive to his words.

The indifference might as well be as much of an act as Gilgamesh's loud confidence. Kavi only trusts Gilgamesh as far as he can throw him but he is giving him the benefit of the doubt and so far, Gilgamesh has yet to set anything on fire.

The politeness he shows the Madam nets him another brownie point and Kavi's lips quirk up when the Madam gives Gilgamesh a very thorough, calculating once-over before gesturing for one of the workers to lead them into a different room.

And as Kavi passes Gilgamesh to follow her, he briefly places a hand on Gilgamesh's back. Doing well so far. ]

JUST WINGING IT HERE feel free to lmk if you want anything changed!!

[babbylon]

[They are led into dimly lit quarters, no more or less special than the others. Left to wait, but only for a few minutes before two women—a gorgeous set of slender yet shapely twins—come shuffling in, bowing in tandem at the hip. Their features are soft but their eyes are sharp, narrowing upon their guests discernibly. Despite their profession, or maybe because of it, intellect shines clear in their gazes.

"How may we serve you?" they ask together. Gilgamesh starts to answer, but both shake their heads and interrupt.

"No, the correct question is, how you will serve us."

They lift their skirts, revealing all manner of blindfolds, handcuffs, and devices otherwise intended for restraint strapped to their legs. To his credit, Gilgamesh does not shy away; however, he does look to Kavi with a hint of question to his features.]

You knew, did you not?

[Or at least suspected just what sort of play the King of Heroes was into.]

YOU ARE AWESOME AT WINGING IT GOOD SIR

[umberly]

[ Perfect. It fills Kavi with no small amount of glee to see the pair of lovely twins enter the room. They are two of the lovelier gems this place has to offer, possibly the ones suited best to deal with Gilgamesh's tastes and desires. There are others, of course, gentle, sweet flowers who lure customers in by offering warmth and love which draws men in like fire draws a moth.

But the twins and their assorted... devices? They are different. They will ensnare you in a game, in a push and pull of power that leaves you breathless and panting.

At Gilgamesh's question, Kavi chuckles and resists the urge to take off his jacket. They'll do as the ladies command. ]

Meeting you in person confirmed it.

[ He had a hunch before but after seeing Gilgamesh... ]
