[ what is the concept of processed food to an ancient king? commoners of Ritsuka's era do find interesting ways to create meals -- and such fare is acceptable for peasants, if not kings, so he shan't judge. ]
Very well. I shall arrive shortly then.
[ he does know where she resides now, so it should not be too difficult to make his way there. ]
[ She does at least speed-eat the noodles to be finished by the time he arrives. There's no red carpet to roll out for him or anything like that, but at least he only has to knock once before she's opening the door, first to check that it's him, and then wider to silently invite him inside. ]
Good afternoon! Your Majesty. It's not Chaldea, but it's kind of home.
[ a red carpet would indeed be befitting of royalty, but mongrels gotta make due with what they have. again, he shan't judge. much. King's Generosity and all.
once inside, Gilgamesh proceeds to turn his gaze across the room, surveying Ritsuka's abode. ]
Aha, well met, Ritsuka. How have you been faring, hm?
[ well and with plenty of adventures, one hopes. ]
[ It's a cute little townhouse! Not super fancy or elaborate, but one of those places that has accumulated the clutter of someone living here, especially someone who has a hobby of picking up little tchotchkes as souvenirs.
She's pretty pleased at saying that, though. ]
I've been busier at home than I've ever needed to be here, though.
Ah... has there been that great of a divergence in time?
[ truth to tell, he had not really considered that such time might have elapsed between their interactions at Chaldea. time-hopping was not exactly a foreign concept to them, but to think Ritsuka might have been summoned from a future Gilgamesh had not yet encountered... this was not a leap of thought he would have intuitively made. but once she implies such a thing, neither did he find it incredibly difficult to accept, given the circumstances of their summonings to this world. ]
Well, mongrel, I shall let you exercise your own judgment in disclosing what details you see fit.
I'm pretty sure that's easier said than done... okay. Okay, c'mon, we can at least sit.
[ She leads him to the living room, where there is a Nice Couch, because Ritsuka still has dragon horde money, and if she's going to be living somewhere for a while, she wants to have nice cushy furniture. When she sits, she sits in a partial ball, her legs tucked up under herself. ]
So... uh. Between the time we left Uruk and now it's been... about three years? Ish? We dealt with the Incineration, but now it's a whole different problem.
So you emerged victorious in the temple? [ not that he was surprised... no, not after what they went through together. but... again, to think his future (or what would be so) is her past... a journey he has yet to hear. ] Hmm... though, if not the Incineration, then what? It seems I am indeed quite behind on these goings-on of yours.
