[ and he is terribly pleased with himself as Sampo wheezes his way to being able to speak again, running his fingers through the man's hair at a lazy, back and forth pace.
Sampo manages words, finally, and Gil listens attentively--eyes glinting when the names come up, smirk still not having left his lips. as if this whole admission is just... easy. correct. how it should be. as if Sampo hasn't rolled his boulder up the hill and gotten it to stick somehow. ]
Ah, I'm familiar with Mr. Zhongli. He's like a father to Vergil. [ ... and his expression flicks towards wicked again, as he shifts to roll them--to put Sampo beneath him and stretch out on him like the great cat he'd already been compared to, companionably boxing Sam in with his arms. ]
You know, the tyrant king of the Epic was said to be two-thirds god himself. Some people speculate that since his father, Lugalbanda, was elevated to godhood to be worthy of the goddess of wild cows, Ninsun, it made Gilgamesh only a third human--others say that Anu had a hand in Gilgamesh's conception, and therefore, since the man was born of two gods and a human, he was two-thirds god, one third human.
[ it's an easy way to flex that you could be divine yourself, if you so cared for it--but Gilgamesh doesn't. he has no stake in gods, divinity, or a power greater than himself. ]
So congratulations on bringing another freak baby into the world. Hopefully they have your sense for money, and not Mr. Zhongli's.
