[Privately, Ozymandias believes it will likely not be long before Gilgamesh begins seeking or demanding more space for himself. This is not so much a disparagement as an assumption predicated on the simple fact that being king affords one certain entitlements. While certain kings may be satisfied with less, comfortable with rescinding the luxuries that would typically be afforded to them, Gilgamesh is no such king.]
You may keep it. [He trusts them not to abuse the privilege.] Although if the King of Heroes takes offense at it remaining in your possession, it shall not offend me for you to return it.
[How Archer may respond to Enkidu still holding onto a key to their former residence is a little less predictable to Ozymandias, but he will not interpret whatever the reaction may be as an insult. The bond that lies between Enkidu and Gilgamesh is simply that. Between them.]
[Would Gilgamesh be offended? That is always a question they should ask themselves and for a moment the look on their face is a pensive one.]
I will keep it. Gil might complain but...I think of it as a gift. [They hold the key up as if it is the biggest treasure ever.] One of trust. After all, you trust me not to enter and take all your furniture.
[Then they nod.]
I will tell Gil of this. And explain to him that you trust me.
[...Were he not a king and more than capable of suppressing the very natural urge to make a face, he would have looked up at Enkidu plainly perplexed at the mention of taking his furniture.]
[Because... Well, yes. That's true. He doesn't anticipate that Enkidu would enter this residence and plunder it, but that's... That's not...???]
[In any case, Ozymandias decides to let it be. They understand the gist of the gesture even if the specifics are a little...off.]
I'm sure he will demonstrate wisdom and understand.
[Which is to say that Gilgamesh will be able to parse through Enkidu's somewhat strange logic and understand.]
He will. He has been very accepting about my friendship with others. [The platonic sort of friendship, that is.] He hasn't challenged any of them for a battle yet. Perhaps I have underestimated him, thinking his soul would not grow in such a way. [Enkidu tucks the key away.] I have been a bit of a fool.
[But then again, feelings are difficult, living like a human is difficult...]

Archer's mind is a difficult one to know.
End?
[When he shakes his head, they nod slowly.]
