@ofradiantgold — besides your riches. In fact, it's so simple a request, I might only have to ask once~”

Sing-song as opposed to that split-second of miffed pouting, it's nothing but confidence central!

[𒀭 𝑰𝒔𝒉𝒕𝒂𝒓. @DescentOfVenus]

Smacks @ofradiantgold across the back of the head with a paper fan.

[𒀭 𝑰𝒔𝒉𝒕𝒂𝒓. @DescentOfVenus]

@ofradiantgold — you weren't my biggest fan as a child.”

Shake, shake, a third shake of her head. Gingerly pushing off the ground, she comes to waggle her finger along, too—the relaxed lean of her body in the air a taunt returned.

⠀⠀“I'm here to /bother/ you into giving me something else —

[𒀭 𝑰𝒔𝒉𝒕𝒂𝒓. @DescentOfVenus]

@ofradiantgold — to bother you over nothing, even if you’re always making it seem like that, so... truce, okay?”

[𒀭 𝑰𝒔𝒉𝒕𝒂𝒓. @DescentOfVenus]

@ofradiantgold — to one that expresses perfectly what a buzzkill Gilgamesh could be.

⠀⠀“If you could hear yourself over the noise of your own jewelry, you’d know I’m absolutely fine with this vessel!”

Moving away first, she saves her from a dramatic sigh in her face.

⠀⠀“I’m not here —

[𒀭 𝑰𝒔𝒉𝒕𝒂𝒓. @DescentOfVenus]

@ofradiantgold ⠀⠀“Huh? That’s what you saw? ... Here, I’ll give you one more shot!”

It really doesn’t hurt in any sense of the word—think it more symbolic than anything. She still has her paper fan, anyway, and with a tighter grip on it, she strikes again.

Down the front of her face, fwip.

— even Ishtar herself would try to save face in her shoes.

⠀ “Youʼd be picking posies by yourself for hours if I left you all alone! Admit it, youʼre a little thankful.”

Materialising Maanna above them, she remembers: and anyone else would call her out on it, too.

She was capable of changing! Rather, the vessel itself suppressed the side of her that was vindictive to a fault; she suspected such was the root of the changes she had seen in her sister, as well.

Itʼs cute that the blonde pretends she has much of a choice, though —

⠀“I didnʼt fall from the sky in my hurry to have your company to be rejected, either, so—!”

Up. Ishtar wanted her off the floor and at the mouth of a cave in the next ten minutes, and she had every means to make it happen.

⠀“Prank you? Not even Nudimmud could have ulterior motives when it comes to water.”

This was a harmless invitation. Absolutely harmless. Her hands clasp over one of Ereshkigalʼs, eyes bright and sparkling—indeed, the way they shone at the sight of gleaming gems. —

@ofthegreatbelow — Though not all that committed to selling the act, she did manage a restrained pout; it comes as quickly as it goes.

“..... but today's an exception! When's the last time you'd seen a body of water on earth? When the Euphrates still ran?”

[𒀭 𝑰𝒔𝒉𝒕𝒂𝒓. @DescentOfVenus]

@ofthegreatbelow “Hmph.”

But it's a huff just for show. She walked two fingers the distance between her sister's shoulder to her cheek, poked. Poked again as she spoke, and again.

“Why do I have to be after something just because I came to see you? Talking to me like that, ouch...!” —

[𒀭 𝑰𝒔𝒉𝒕𝒂𝒓. @DescentOfVenus]

“Wouldn't expect any crummier an observation. Rub the doom and gloom out of your eyes, will you?”

Oho, but she's grinning still as her hand leaves her hip. Pushing off the ground, she breezed her way to the blonde's side, a suspicious air about her even without the golden eyes.

[❛ 𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐇𝐊𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐋. @ofthegreatbelow]

Eh?

It took a few seconds to realize that this was all that was about to happen. Hands moved up to, at least, grant her applause with a hint of pity, yet decided against it.

"Your sparkle faded. There once was a time, where you did better than that."

Impact in three... two...

...

–No impact (nor sign) of the boat, though she herself was subject to an emergency tuck and roll. The impact then is so light, it's almost certainly just to show off what a nimble vessel she had.

And to top it all off, she stands, posing at her.

[❛ 𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐇𝐊𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐋. @ofthegreatbelow]

Eeeep!

Two steps to the side. .... with an additional ten steps on top of that, don't let the pest touch you.

About to make a crash landing on @ofthegreatbelow, Maanna and everything.

Godspeed! ✌️
