[Oh, Enkidu knows that. There are no forevers for them. Mortality does not allow such things. Yet, when Gil smiles at them like that they think about what they once said to Diarmuid. Yes, it is true that they are a creature belonging to nature, wilful and weird, something ancient, a product of old gods. But something inside of them, something small and very human, would want to live alongside Gil the way other Bonded lived. As couples, as lovers, as beings waking up next to one another in the most basic human way.]
Then let us start our new life. Here. We will live in a small room, sleep in a small bed and we will be witches. [They lean in a little, their lips brushing his cheek briefly.] Friends but also lovers. [A pause.] Would you like to be my lover, Gil?
[When they said that they stay silent to listen to him and the only conclusion they can make is that he might have been able to hear them through the mirror. That they managed to remember him that they were here, that Hakuno was here. That he is needed here.]
When I finally rid my body of this illness the first thing I noticed was that my body was empty. That it lacked the connection it had with you. It has been a rather difficult time...but perhaps it is that that makes our second reunion even more important. Because now we know how happy we can truly be. Without gods even...without Grails and Moon Cells.
[When they see that mischievous smile on his face they chuckle softly and take his hand.]
Should I take you there? [When they speak it is obvious that there's some enthusiasm there.] Should we go now? [And then they nod slowly.] A new chapter, a new story.
