[ The eighth floor had been unlocked for a while, but nobody has done anything with it, so Gil is now officially taking matters into his own hands. ]

Hi everyone, it's Gil! I'm taking charge of the inn now! Clapclapclap!

[ He actually does clap, and confetti fires out of the space behind him like a cannon. There's no actual confetti cannon of course, it's just the Gate of Babylon. ]

It's now called the Shuwa Shuwa Inn. If you have any complaints, come up with something better!

[ He stops and ponders one last thing. ]

I'm using the small rooms, the big one is for everyone, just give me a name and date and I'll book you in. None of you can afford to pay for a stay in an inn anyway.

[ Much less challenge his claim to ownership. At least, in terms of gold. ]

Even if you say that... [ Gil sighs ] I have all the memories from my entire life, and my friend will never leave my heart, but I'm not the me you know. I can try to express what he felt, but I can't really defend any of it. We're pretty different people, most of the time.

[ Yeah, that's right. Even Gil knows what Gilgamesh did was frequently ridiculous. Indeed, there was no defending some of his actions. ]

I say I'm the King of Heroes, but in truth the me right now isn't really a king at all. I'm too young to have taken the throne.

Even if you do not rule presently, you are still a king, or, in your case, a tyrant. You were born to be one.

If you do not feel to answer to his ideas, Archer, what is to you to be a king?

[kingpika]

A king is someone with the power to do whatever he wants, isn't it? A good king will lead his people from strength to strength, and a bad king won't. Something like that, I haven't thought much about it.

[ If he's not drawing on the memories and powers of his older self, Gil is still nine years old in heart and body after all. How many nine year old children have put serious thought into their destinies? ]

So I guess a king would be the greatest hero. Someone who dreams of impossible things, overcomes challenges, and draws people to his side?

[ She has, Merlin and Ector have been strict with her training even if she's a child. ]

If a king does "whatever he wants", he is no king, but a tyrant.
