[ it's strange, to have things explained to him like he's a dim child, or a cartoon villain who has no concept of love or camaraderie. he stares at Rose as if she's grown a second tail, or a second head.
(that sort of presumption performed again and again and again is probably what drove Emet-selch to behave as he did alongside the raging narcissism, but that's for another Gilgamesh in another time to contemplate.)
his voice takes on a familiar tone; the tone of someone who's found themselves neck deep in talking with a person who doesn't understand that 2 for $9.00 and $4.50 per unit were the same sale. ]
Yes, and the people in the city that I count among my allies, I know their names and their general desires, occupations, and obligations. I do not devote my time and energy to people who've stated they don't like me. Do you know what you're even arguing for or about?
You have plenty to do, and yet you are here, haunting me like the world's most ineffective ghost as I don't fear spirits, and I don't care what your opinion of me is. Hate me all you like, but it is baffling that you're devoting that level of energy to someone that you don't know, and does not know you.
[ he leans in, down, so that he is eye to eye to Rose, as if that'll drive his point home faster, deeper. ]
You. Approached. Me. You ran your mouth. At me. You weren't even a blip on my radar, and yet here you are as if I've committed some sin against you, and I don't apologize for my mere existence, you madwoman. Are you jealous that no one loved you in another time and place and I'm catching your temper because I had records to consume? Because you're neither my employee, my lover, my companion, nor of use to me, so I absolutely refuse to play your sounding board.
