[Gilgamesh knows exactly what he's doing. He can't and won't make excuses for it. This sort of insolence would've invoked rage from Kirei, and so it invokes the same from Levi. How predictable, that all his partners should fall into such a pitfall. Humanity's ideal could not outsmart the one who oversaw them all. Though, unfortunately, Gilgamesh doesn't have very long to gloat over his supposed victory.
The phrase be careful what you ask for, because you might just get it leaps to mind here. Gilgamesh not only gets shoved back, but indeed, subdued. His arm bends without much of a fight and that kick comes before he can do much of anything about it. It's harder than he expects, and it's only now that he's reminded of their differences in strength. A Queen simply could not stand up to a Knight, at least in any physical capacity.
Still, he struggles. He growls. He glances past his shoulder at Levi, and his eyes are a furious and searing red. It would not be a mistake to see him as a monster he's so accustomed to cutting down in this moment. He certainly behaves no better than a beast, pushing back, trying to knock him over once he's recovered his breath. He may be a Queen, but he's feisty. Levi would need to work to put this one down, if it could be done at all.]
