[The alarm bells should have been going off. Gilgamesh was dangerous, if not for his strength then for his willingness to act completely out of turn and utterly out of his mind. Gilgamesh just stares flatly at Koon; Gaius may as well not even exist right now. His focus is entirely on the one who touched him without his permission.

[And he'd stand by that. Gilgamesh flexes his hands, as if he intends to strike. He doesn't, but the implied threat lingers.]
But I refuse to respect the likes of rodents. Mind your space and mind your hands, lest I relieve you of them the next time.
[Gilgamesh does not doubt there will be a next time, no matter how many warnings he doles out. Gilgamesh moves to brush past Gaius and all but storms out the door, leaving the two to themselves. For now, at least, they can breathe air that's free of the surly King of Heroes. It feels infinitely less murderous already.]
gilgamesh ducking out! feel free to go on without me! o7
