[It is all very peaceful. Surprisingly so, considering how they got along at first, but now...
When Masamune pulls out the sweeter cakes, Gilgamesh doesn't think twice. Driven by instinct, he tears into the wrapping and devours them within a few bites, a fair bit faster than any human being should be capable of. Somehow, he also manages to look utterly composed while doing so. There's not a crumb out of place and the only real sign he's eaten anything is the subtle lick of his lips that follows. In reality, he could easily inhale twenty more and still hunger.
That alone would be enough to make this a more than hospitable evening. But then Masamune reveals something special: a gift of gems and of jewelry. It takes him aback a little—Masamune had no obligation to give him anything, at least not of this magnitude. At first, he is uncertain of how to react; pride and ego dictate he accept it all with a grin, but perhaps Masamune has managed the impossible and humbled Gilgamesh, if only slightly, as he pauses a moment to process the present.
Rather than thank him, Gilgamesh removes the studs in his ears and instructs Masamune:]
Put them in.
[This... this was intimate. Even more than sharing food had been.]
