["FRIEND" IS... ALSO A STRONG WORD... It catches him off-guard a little bit, even though it probably shouldn't. He remembered how Enkidu saw themselves, and he'd had far too much time to think about the things they had said, from the beginning of their friendship until their dying breath. He understood why they would ask such a silly question, but...
Well, he'd made himself clear on that matter before.]
You are my friend. That is a title for you alone. [That would always be true. As long as he lived, and long after—none would ever be more important to him than them.] But I suppose I have met some tolerable people in my life. You are a Servant of Chaldea, correct? Then you should be familiar with some of them already yourself.
[Calling them "friends" was a lot for someone like him, but he had still grown quite fond of them when the world was supposed to end. They were probably the next best thing, though, at the very least.]
The alcohol here is nothing like home, nor the food, for that matter, but it serves its purpose well enough. [Still, the thought makes him smile. Of course they knew would think of something like that.] You'll have more time than you know what to do with here, so there will be many opportunities to try them.
