The business of Nippur would go about as well as Siduri expected. Of course, that being said, Siduri knew he wouldn't like the offer made at all. The king of Nippur was being a bit too short-sighted. And what would that get him? Well for starters, a whole string of insults, which made Siduri have to choke back laughter behind that veil of hers. Murky cullions... she'd have to bring that one up over drinks with Medusa later. Ah, two goats instead of the wanted cattle and barley. That was a bit more fair considering what it was that Gilgamesh actually wanted from the king of Nippur. "As you wish. I'll make arrangements and be sure to include that..." she paused. Was it a threat? Well yes, but how to make it sound like it wasn't that. "Provision in the notice," she said. Yes. Always the semi-professional, she'd been quick to pick up on how to interpret Gilgamesh's whims and words.
Speaking of the king's whims, the arrival of Saber and Lancer from that Holy Grail war. And what had changed about the king's greeting since his earlier bout with Ishtar? Well... he was markedly less demanding. A bit more passive in his approach now, good good. That would do, actually it was an enjoyable large change considering. He made a passing comment but it was one that could be taken lightly and without fuss, even by Artoria's own standards. Though she still couldn't stop that initial twitch of her sword arm. But she was on the job, and behaving, per Jeanne's request and it wasn't one she could ignore. Wiggling eye brows from Jeanne would be caused by Artoria's passivity. "No. Ask your question... he is very busy," Artoria said while closing her eyes. "Oh, right. No time. Since someone decided to listen to an hour long tale of his journey," she said in a slightly meddlesome way. Artoria's eyes opened and shifted to her younger sister for just a moment, and all she would do in response was a gentle narrowing of those eyes. Not quite a threat but very much not at all denouncing the thing she did. After all, Artoria wasn't a liar. "Anyway, I was told by the creepy weird voice that I needed to seek the King of Heroes, but I have no idea who that is and it wouldn't tell me. I need to get set up, so if you could point us in the right direction, I'd be grateful. " Jeanne was as calm as she ever was giving her point concisely so they could get out of a busy man's way.
