Of course, his heart leaps with the offer Saber makes; what more could he even want, dancing with the woman he so ardently lusted after? He even neglects that it's clearly done to relieve poor Adra and almost opens his mouth to accept the invitation before the elf asserts himself again.
Immediately, he turns indecisive. Was this a test of some kind? Was there a "right" answer Adra was waiting for here? How ridiculous. A King made his own rules. He didn't have to abide either of them, so he won't. He resents this being treated as a burden, so ultimately he calls her bluff. Their bluff.
Shaking off that momentary uncertainty, he makes his choice.]
I will dance with both of you.
[In one hand, he takes up Saber's. In the other, he takes up Adra's. So the dance resumes, with Gilgamesh playing each side with equal skill. Wooing both of his harpies. The door will open because he wills it to open. They will proceed because he wills them to proceed. And he won't be made a fool of, by elf or by knight.
He won't be the party member they deal with just because. A leader was meant for more than that.]
