Oh the answer Siduri would receive. The man known as Gilgamesh, the King of Uruk was here now. Having made a long journey. He'd eaten what he killed to survive, he'd come to the garden of the gods, hiding himself behind his pompous attitude and for what? Because of the death of Enkidu, the Chains of Heaven? Because that was his friend and his friend had died. Because that face no longer walked beside his, he now feared what fate had in store for him. Death was a scary thing when one wasn't prepared for it. Death could be such a huge problem for those who wanted glorious tales sung about them. Death was what man earned as his main reward in life. To know that this is what the great king feared. To watch him break down before a relative stranger, to know that this was quite outside of his normal behavior... it moved Siduri's heart. Compassion was one of the things she had left, one of the things that was part of her being as she came together here in the gardens of the gods. She'd question him about his journey wondering why if he was so fearful he was trying to move on? "Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find the life for which you are looking..." she gave pause and then explanation. Maybe with the truth, he could be dissuaded. Maybe she could save him a bit of pain? "When the gods created man, they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping," she explained. She couldn't leave him like this though. A man so broken didn't deserve to sit at the edge of the world without understanding and without acknowledgement for his suffering. "As for you Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day," she explained to him. "Feast and be merry, dance and rejoice," she claimed. "Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, make your wife happy in your embrace, for this too is the lot of man." Siduri explained to this man what life was supposed to be for him. He was king, and death would come because he was mortal, but that didn't mean, his life had to be joyless. There was plenty yet for him to do, so simply could he live if he chose.
So disconnected where the Scorpions, but still... they'd helped. They didn't have to open that door, but it was part of their most important task that they did. What wasn't important or what was more important, was how they were entwined now. But the female of the pair did agree with her mate. The King of Uruk was more functional a being with that annoying laugh in his chest and a smile on his face. "He does to better when he is like that, this is a fair assessment. How long then will it take for his horrendous laugh to return to grace the ears of those who worry for him?" she ponded ever so curiously. What wasn't curious though, was the way their bodies currently entwined. Even in the sky, this great beast seemed just as at ease as they had been on the throne. Here and now the male met the woman's folds and told her how he liked to see her. Had it been so long since they'd last had a dance like this? A heavy breath left her as he slid all the way home and the adjustment period as her body tightened around his own was acknowledged. He wanted to see what she was like breathless, and absorbed? Well there was only one answer for such a demand and it moved across all of time. Two simple words would leave her lips as her hips shifted to create the scene he wished to witness. "Yes, Daddy."
