That is to say, he couldn't leave Adra alone. He refused to, that imagery of bloody claws carving into his back still all too vivid from earlier in the dungeon when his attention slipped for just a second. So when Adra falls, so does Gilgamesh. They fall together, and Gilgamesh suffers nearly as much being so magically inclined; he can feel his reserves depleting near to zero, and when actively engaged in battle, that spells disaster.
Gilgamesh cannot spare any thought to Adra's preferences right now. He thinks the elf may be willing to forgive him, for what has to happen, as he draws him so close he's nearly magnetized to his skin. His arms hold him steady in an embrace as lightning crackles all around them in the background, the rumblings of Tianya not far off. For now, the dragon has stopped attacking... but the reprieve will prove brief at best, Gilgamesh knows.
