Heaven's Feel



[Maybe you've heard, or maybe you haven't, but there's a new business in town. It's plastered everywhere, posted on the side of every building and shouted from the end of every street corner in Caissa. Heaven's Feel, Heaven's Feel, come fly with the angels at Heaven's Feel! Really, who writes something so cheesy? The owner must be a real piece of work, you think, yet there's something enticing about the sound of it...

If you do decide to stop by within the first week of May, you'll find a massive celebration awaiting you: the celebration of opening day! Eager workers wave down anyone who gets close, with offers of wine tasting, sweet treats, and even speed dating. The store's interior bustles with activity as visitors fill out cute little survey cards in hopes of a hook-up. The owner in question can be found mingling in the crowd, bartending, and drawing charcoal caricatures of couples for a nominal fee.

Overall, the atmosphere is one of excitement. Hop right in! There's plenty of room for lounging on the cushy furniture, and plenty of time to find your own hottie.

...or perfectly platonic friend. Look, we're not judging or anything.]

Because you are in league with each other, and therefore share similar ideals.

[Granted, Gilgamesh knew nothing of Celestial Being or of Gundams; of Ribbons Almark and his plans; of the Innovades and their greater purpose in the world; in the ELS or the brilliant future that awaited humanity. But he does know Setsuna, and therefore he has some idea what he gets up to with his comrades.

Gilgamesh straightens upon mention of his divine blood, something of a contradiction for him—he'd brag of it just as easily as he'd condemn it.]

As to why I refer to him as my knight, he swore his sword to me. It was his decision, not mine. And even if that wasn't the case...

[He tips his head up, ever so slightly. A subtle display of dominance.]

I would still consider him under my protection, as I have grown quite fond.

[buildyourworld]

[ He merely shrugs and takes a sip from his glass of wine, choosing not to answer Gilgamesh's assertion. This ancient king, how much does he knows? How much did Setsuna told him?

Gilgamesh's show of dominance however, slight as it might be, draws no reaction from Tieria. It doesn't matter to Tieria if outsiders try to worm their way into his family after everything they have been through. He trusts Setsuna to make the right judgement, even if it takes time to reach the right conclusion. All Tieria has to do is support him.

So, for Gilgamesh to lay such claim, Tieria understands that this is merely someone he has to keep an eye on from now onward, divine or otherwise. ]

Setsuna is capable of protecting himself. If he chooses to protect you, then you're mine to oversee, just as Setsuna himself is.

[ Arrogant as it may sounds, Tieria's delivery is completely devoid of such impudence. All there is to it is a declaration of duty. ]

[babbylon]

[Gilgamesh really only takes away one thing from all of that.]

I am yours? That is the assertion you would make?

[buildyourworld]

[ Are all Kings like this? Do none of them comprehend things properly? ]

Mine to oversee. [ He stresses the word, to make sure Gilgamesh doesn't miss it again. ]

[babbylon]

[Gilgamesh rises, slowly, from his seat.]

Then you shall fight me for the right. I challenge you.

[buildyourworld]

And what? Proof to Setsuna that you're incapable of accepting his family? Be thankful that I'm extending you this courtesy for his sake. I'm not always this lenient.

[ If anything, he doesn't seem all that perturbed by Gilgamesh's declaration of challenge as he crosses his legs. ]

Sit yourself down. You know more than anyone if I am qualified. [ After all, he already rescued Gilgamesh twice, and once while he was so low on mana that he only relied on his combat skill and experience.]

[babbylon]

To oversee me, a king among kings? Not hardly.

[Gilgamesh won't allow himself to be led, just as he wouldn't allow himself to be monitored as if some sort of wayward pupil in need of constant supervision. Every part of him rails against the idea and so every part of him will refuse Tieria, to his dying breath.

However, perhaps he can rephrase to something more palpable.]

I see no shame in simple competition. Especially if it would be a chance to sharpen our skills.

[buildyourworld]

[ Does this person not realized what Setsuna means when he sworn his sword to him?

Well, since it's Setsuna, it's likely that the Meister never explained anyway... Which mean, Tieria is going to have to. ]

You agreed to it when you allowed Setsuna. He will only offer such oath if he thinks you're in need of protection, not the other way around. If he deemed you so, then so will I. If you don't like it, take it up to him.

[ Taking a sip from his glass. ] Sit down, Gilgamesh.

[babbylon]

[Gilgamesh's features twist sourly. No, still not liking this, not one bit.]

You are accustomed to getting your way, aren't you? You'd order me around in my own place of business?

[buildyourworld]

[ Pout all you want, King. He's not budging. ]

Correct.

[ That's your answer there. ]

[babbylon]

[Gilgamesh sits back down. Irritably. Incredibly irritably.

Good luck getting him to talk now, Tieria, this man was a complete child when he wanted to be.]

[buildyourworld]

[ They can both sit there and be quiet. Just don't complain about the amount of wine he finishes. ]
