[How nostalgic, being able to talk like this again. Their voice, their tone, even the teasing jabs... Gilgamesh got along with people in general now much better than he used to, not unlike when he was much younger, but there was still nothing like this. They were literal worlds away, yet in this moment, he truly felt at home.

(Nevermind the presence of the hugbugs. At least Gilgamesh is pretty used to unwanted attention.)

As for their question...]

A few months short of a year now. Compared to the time and place we left, it is somewhat peaceful here, though it is strange and not without problems of its own. I imagine you will find much to busy yourself with here, however.

[They were naturally curious, and there was plenty to see and do. Gilgamesh was not impressed easily, but he, too, found plenty to be curious about.]
