"Knowing when to act clueless?" Gilgamesh cannot contain a slight scoff at that. "Your philosophy may have merit as concerns weak mongrels, but a King is of another stature."
Servants who relied on falsehoods and fakery... Assassin classes, perhaps. And then there were magi who played at games. Gilgamesh knows that some must resort to that, and in such cases, he would agree with Sparkle's comment.
But he cannot agree overall, because whatever Gilgamesh's (many) flaws -- whether he would acknowledge them as such or not -- there's not a duplicitous or deceitful bone in his body. What you see is exactly what you get at all times with the King of Heroes.
"... as to that question: certainly not." He does smile somewhat at the image she paints of him, and for that matter, Gilgamesh will even accept the dazzling golden flash. He is just fine with that touch.
Beside him, a golden portal of light opens and Gilgamesh deposits the blooms he has retrieved thus far, exchanging them for a small piece of enchanted glass -- a tool which he hopes to use to help him Perceive the locations of others of these flowers.
"It is better indeed to insist that the 'small and beleaguered' grow to stand upon their own feet and save themselves. I was the north wind to remonstrate the people, the hero-king who journeyed to the ends of the Earth and collected all treasures for myself, just as I am here now to collect these flowers with the enchanted potentiality. But are you also on such a quest -- do you indeed have any higher ambitions -- or do you merely seek to play a game as a fool, Fool?"
