[It wasn't truly intended as a threatening gesture, though it certainly looked that way. It was more an expression of frustration than anything else, annoyance at his situation manifested in the form of hands around a stranger's throat. For Gilgamesh, this wasn't really escalation at all. Rather, it was typical behavior, expected from a tyrant who always got their way no matter what.
However, when he feels something cool at his throat, he abruptly lets go. And he turns, as much as he can in such a position, and he stares at Koon, and he's treated to a front row audience of just how inhuman their noisy roommate really was—red eyes and the pupils of a snake, which dilate and narrow and suggest that he has just committed a fatal error.
Gaius is off the hook, effectively. Koon is not.]
Step away from me.
[His voice is harsh. This isn't spur-of-the-moment fooling around anymore; Gilgamesh will kill him he raises one finger further against him.]
