But you were once. If we cannot help but act out because of the past, then what is stopping him? Does he possess such great self control?

He doesn't remember it, of course. And the only reason he'd have to fight with me would have been over her, which, obviously, is no longer a potential point of jealousy.

...as it should stay.

[Gil settles back into the couch cushions, though his whole body is tense and restless. In the back of his mind he knows there's no real cause for alarm yet -- but right now the rest of him, every other spare ounce of his being is screaming.]

I don't see why that would change. I have someone of my own already.

[And to make his point, he'll bring two cups of hot, sweet tea over and sit next to Gil on the couch with them.]

Here.

[He takes the cup without argument and adjusts, only a bit, to allow Tokiomi room to sit down. Sipping the tea takes his mind off the anger, if only for a moment.]

Someone of your own? And what are they like?

Unimaginably egotistical, but very handsome.

Ah, did you mean 'egotistical' or 'honest and confident'?

Definitely egotistical, and he has terribly gaudy taste.

[pulling his legs up on the couch with him, and snuggling up -- he might tease, but he's more than content]

But he's also a dedicated lover. He's at my side when I need him, and he'll protect me from anything I'm afraid of. I wouldn't trade him for anyone else in the world.

You'd be hard pressed to find something of equal value to trade for...

[...fine, he'll lean into Tokiomi and take a deep breath. The banter and the physical contact is taking the edge off, something that he's grateful for. Because Gilgamesh isn't apt to admit the murderous rage was beginning to frighten him.]
