Artoria would return to her duties, because she needed to. She also figured Gilgamesh would do much the same. She felt strangely about leaving him... but she also wasn't sure she was in the right headspace to make the decision to stay. Obviously, it was the best decision to withdraw. She needed to strategize, get more information, learn for herself what it was to 'like' someone in the sense she figured she'd started liking the King of Heroes. Maybe then, she could interact with him better. As she walked off she began to wonder, when had she started to care about how she interacted with the King of Heroes? Truly Artoria Pendragon was out of her depth and unsure of herself in a moment like this. Even in the wake of a great victory she needed to figure out herself.
Ishtar was quite used to men's gazes being locked upon her like Enki's currently was. If the King of Heroes had any sense he would be looking at her as such and would have claimed her already. Yes, she wouldn't have allowed him to claim all of her, but not many in any realm could say they'd had the pleasure of bedding the Queen of Heaven. That was title held by the few, a few of which Enki was obviously trying to weasel himself into. "Yes, it isn't like I wish to have pointless conversation either. I'd rather watch the mortals play..." she said scoffing. This man was something of an annoyance. He was never very big and Ishtar often wondered if his attitude was his way of compensating for something he might have lacked at base. Whatever the case, it seemed Enki was feeling talkative. He claimed that if Artoria and Gilgamesh had their way, Celestia would be properly cut off. If such a thing happened the only ones who would be able to get out would be Kur, which made sense given she was in charge of death. Damn shame that, she'd turned down death initially because she didn't want the responsibility of dealing with only dead people. She didn't realize the amount of influence Kur would end up with being in charge of such a thing. And by the time she went to take it from the girl, she'd grown so much nerve that she'd assaulted and killed her. Never again, would Ishtar be stepping into death without losing something so she didn't plan to try using Kur again anytime soon. So instead, Enki was apparently offering to spread her influence to whatever little land he had tucked away for himself. In exchange for something... of course he would be trying to make such demands of hers. People like him always reaching beyond their means, never understood that what they wanted to give they should offer freely, especially when women like her were involved. She was perfection incarnate and he should be vying for her attention, not trying to bargain with her like she was some random prostitutes' roaming the streets. The audacity of this man!!
She stared at him in silence for a few seconds. If he could up her influence even a little bit... she could freely attack the King of Heroes as she wished. Even without her temples a bit of extra power would be all she needed to send her pets forth. And if she could do that, she could at least manage to keep him and the boy-queen separate until she could fully manifest in his area again. Surely he couldn't actually say no to her if she was present again. So then, was this ability to do as she wished, worth going along with whatever little plan Enki had? Not really, she wouldn't accept anything resembling an equivalent exchange... no matter what he thought she was supreme here, he'd need to make proper offerings to her, to get her attention. Just like everyone else. "Oh? It sounds like you've been busy, Enki!~" she said seeming to give it a bit of thought. "Still if you have that much influence and you wanted my attention you probably should have just made a few temples to me to start with. I'm always generous to those who make proper offerings," she said leadingly. "If you really can, I'd definitely be willing to make it worth your while~" she said. All the while she'd crossed the room and had a hand trailing ever so gently up this man's left thigh, of course she'd go on to take hold of his manhood if only to confirm or deny his standing on actually getting anything real out of her. Until then non-committal leading statements, would likely be all he got. "But only if you make it worth mine."
