Onwards

Gilgamesh was keeping himself busy as he could. He knew the emotional toll Jael had taken with the whole chicken situation and he knew Modesty too felt some sort of sadness about it. As much as he wanted to help Jael recover from the grief, he held back. Erish kept an eye on her as much as she could. Gil always finding a way to walk by her bungalow just to make sure she was at least somewhat okay. It was all he could do without fearing the wrath of Modesty. Surely she would begin to understand why he felt such a... pull to the girl.

It is with surprise when Erish comes to land in a tree near him that he turns to look back at the isle's main building. Modesty and Jael snuggled up together? His brows draw tightly for a moment as he feels confliction in his chest. How was he to react to that? Letting out a quiet, thoughtful noise, he sends Erish on her way before making his own way up toward his private room shared with Modesty.

Before he enters the room, he takes a deep breath, calming the fast pace of his heart. Calm, cool, collected, definitely don't show true feelings. He reminded himself of this as he makes his way through the living space toward the bedroom. Standing in the doorway, he looks from Modesty to Jael who is wrapped neatly up in Modesty. There is a beat of silence, his heart skipping a beat, before he speaks. "Room for one more?" Gil asks, his tone hesitant as his eyes move from Jael back to Modesty.
