There was always so much friction between them, when Artoria relaxed she always did so completely. Even under such rough treatment she found herself incapable of doing anything but accepting. Perhaps, this was simply the way for those with innately violent natures? Maybe, but regardless Artoria found her body at his mercy and her mind was tugged along with it as a direct result. This was the way.
But of course, Gilgamesh could find fault even in Artoria's generosity. She would scoff only to have a retort simple as it was, she was not sure it would count as flirting... "Oh, and the eons long hoarder would know what of generosity I wonder?~" there was moaning to be produced, but still sarcasm and sass. No one could accuse the Queen of Knights of being one who quietly accepted the ridiculousness that was Gilgamesh. He deemed her a liar and thought to punish her for it. Explaining in the moment how such crimes were dealt with. So close he was, he wanted her tongue? How very rude. "I do not lie, Gil..." she mentioned. At the same time there was that gentle tightening of her nether. She did not argue with being a criminal, just argued with the crime. Never a liar, but never one to admit an absolute truth either. Her own nature would only allow absolutism in the narrowest of senses. At the same time, she would not deny this man the desire he presented her. She'd killed people for less audacious claims than calling her... a criminal. He claimed she should present her tongue, she thought to use it for herself once more... it traveled over her own lips before protruding gently between them. Imagine her shock when it was taken immediately and accosted by the King of Heroes. Was this to be her punishment? It could hardly be considered such. What a strange mix of breakfast and wine... she supposed this was why people liked brunch. She would partake of such a kiss matching oscillations of her tongue against his, as if she'd take from him his drink of choice as he stole the last taste of her previous meal. How delightful... if this was punishment perhaps a few more laws could be broken? Criminality was much more her speed than being queen anyway...
