That I have. Otherwise you two wouldn't have bonded so well, even after everything was said and done.
[ Given the particulars of the accursed house, honestly. Which, even thinking about it, made him desire to take another taste of his drink, and so he did.
But luckily, it's the oncoming question that's caught his attention much more closely...for obvious reasons. ]
Oh? What's made you suddenly present such an audacious question, Hikage?
[ There's amusement that did seep verily into his tone, almost as if he were on the verge of laughter rather than any true offenseโit'd be immediate if there were any. But, he's curious to hear what the other would say. ]
[ Hmn, was that what had happened? Maybe, but Hikage has no desire to dwell on the past. The present and the future were much more entertaining. ]
For one, the Foundation hasn't been destroyed. Yet. [ There's something unmistakably dark in the end; his feelings towards the Foundation are well known at this point between them, but there's something to be said about the current he's found himself in due to his current lifestyle. ]
[ And then his expression darkened, though he was still smiling. ]
King Solomon WILL always be mine. Now and forever. There is no question as to my satisfaction regarding him, despite our difference in opinion.
Though, his desire to try to see if he could change the Foundation so is amusing. But, indeed if he had been dead, I'd have wiped out such a sad, sordid organization swiftly and be done with such a unsightly blight. With how disorganized it'd be, it would be much easier than it should be [ because of its size ] to tear it apart. I'd kill the rest of that leadership first, naturally. Followed by that bastardization of a clown; if anything I'd probably have killed him first just because of how much of a nuisance he could be and I can barely stand him breathing as it is.
Though I'd consider for some of the leaders to take my time to hear the same screams some of them may or may not have heard from those they've allowed to be experimented on. Ha! Now that would be amusing in of itself, even if it wouldn't be much entertainment for long.
[ Though Gilgamesh kind of still wanted to kill Mayuri and the leadership (his boyfriend obviously not included here.) Well, he supposed he'd spare Friskgore to keep Solomon happy. After all, he still loved the man dearly.
It's not too unusual to care about his beloved's happiness, right? ]
[ Ahh he's familiar with this, the words hum pleasantly in his ears like a favorite melody. He lets himself grin and enjoy the show, sinking back into his chair and idly tapping the wine glass as he does. There's no need for any liquor when he has all the entertainment he needs right in front of him. ]
I'm not new to this, you know? But it's good to hear that I'm right. [ But as for the rest...there's some things he gets and some things he doesn't; hikage can certainly be possessive which is the sole reason why a certain book never saw the light of day after he died, but he's also remarkably not a yan. The destruction on the other hand he resonates with soundly, it's a key part of his own relationship after all. The sparing though....]
That would be a sight to see. But I wonder if they won't test your patience again? Solomon aside, of course.
They're already living on borrowed time. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when.
[ Gilgamesh wasn't the type to really have faith in anyone being able to change the organization...but this wasn't about faith or anything like that. He just didn't have it, bluntly stated.
Sissel had more or less expressed some worries about people being upset Solomon was in Mayuri's place as well. Naturally the easiest solution would be to kill off any possible opposition.
But, anyway, future thoughts of plans regarding killing people aside... ]
For the time being, I've graciously allowed their existence. 'I give and take away', so to speak. [ It's taketh away, but Gilgamesh wasn't exactly really a religious man. ] For now, I'll spend my time partaking in even simple pleasures such as this, and other things, while seeing what can be done about what kind of insect is coming to try to steal our future.
[ Actually he planned on trying to kill whoever was responsible for that too, but only time will see how things shake out. Maybe he won't have to lift a finger there.
He'll finally finish his first drink and service will fill it up. ]
It's almost like you possess future sight, Gilgamesh-denka. [ He doesn't even need to say he concurs, but he will take a sip of wine to that pleasant agreement. ]
An insect? Are you being specific or simply stating that they'll find themselves in another mess of their own making soon enough? [ Keeping track of what happens in chat is difficult when you're globe hopping. ]

[ Is it any surprise that he did burst into sudden laughter. He practically was on the verge of it. Mirth practically sparkled in his eyes. ]
...Astute observation.
[ He seemed pleased with the answer. He still despised the Foundation. That never stopped being a thing. ]
