[Some words require careful calculation, some requests require very particular turns of phrase, but here Gilgamesh just states it outright. He does take care to pull himself away, to unwind from her as she stumbles and leans back to grant her adequate space. But that's that, and there's not a ounce of doubt in what he's said nor any hesitation flickering through his eyes. He appears calmer than ever, composed from the very moment she walked in.
At the very least, any questions of friendship have been answered. Reaching for his wine—curiously now refilled, as if by magic—he sips away at it and studies her, lets the grandeur of the moment sink in.
It's alright if she doesn't understand it. This, that, the other thing. He'll tell her all she needs to know, soothe any doubts and chase away any fears. A marchioness could be very powerful, but with a marquis infinitely more so at her back... well, could it even be said that he lied at all?
Together they could destroy this world, tear it down, and rebuild it. In light of their combined power, the possible was very much possible, the unthinkable turned into reality. Such was the power of the King of Heroes who held a sword that could cleave through a planet and through life itself.

Nothing more need be said. Gilgamesh just waits.]
