[Levi's surge of aggression seems to have calmed to a manageable level, so Gilgamesh dares to approach again. But he's more cautious about it, more calculated, sliding in from the side rather than behind. Maintaining a respectable distance, though close as they once comfortably were with each other. Levi may not have reached Gilgamesh, and it may not be possible for him to do so, but he has gotten him to stop and to listen. And that's significant.]
It cannot always be about the mission, for the mission, everything forgotten save the mission. You will also forget to live, to breathe, and to be.
[A tall order for a man like Levi, but Gilgamesh doesn't expect him to embrace that sort of philosophy. Only to bear it in mind.]
You need not "stick up" for me. But I will watch for you, because you are interesting. Because you are humanity's true ideal.
