We arrive back at the manor after some time..

And my father is waiting atop the stairs.

I feel the immediate need to explain myself under his fatherly gaze.

But, before i can speak a hand is placed over my mouth..

And i feel Gilgamesh's breath on my neck..

The internal screaming begins as he whispers in the ear "He cannot see you, he can only sense my presence. Be quiet. Go to the bedroom"

I have to take a breath to compose myself..

Then, trying to be as silent as possible, i walk out of the main hall into the adjoining corridor.

Eventually making it to my room, and flopping onto the bed.

I lay on the bed relaxing and closing my eyes when I feel a sudden touch on my leg.

I instinctively kick outward, which in hindsight was not a good decision.

Then sitting up, to see Gilgamesh, holding my ankle to stop my heel from colliding him..

Great..

Looking very unimpressed, he says "Unless you would like to remain invisible forever, do not test me..."

"How was i supposed to know?"

I sigh and fall back onto the bed, i can't help but imagine his hand moving higher, the instinct to pull my legs together is kind of ruined by the fact that he is still holding my ankle.

Instead, i physically shake my head, trying to dismiss the thought.

His hand only rested on my leg for a second and i felt his magic disappearing before i could finally see myself again.

Thank god...

I really need to convince him to let me use my own invisibility spell.

"Could i use my own invisibility spell next time? Surely that'd be easier for you too" i say, watching him as he sheds his armour before sitting down on the bed beside me.

"No" he replies bluntly..

I wait for an explanation.. until i realise i'm not going to get one.

"..Why not?" i ask trying to provoke the explanation.

But, of course, i still don't get one.

He instead replies "You would question my decision?"

"I'm not exactly questioning it, i would just like an explanation"

I try to reason with him but i'm well aware it probably won't work.

He's probably in a mood now where he'll see anything as an insult.

"Well, how am i supposed to admire you if i'm unable to see you"

Seriously.?

That's it...

"That's it? That's ridiculous!"

I accidentally blurted out the last part..

But strangely he didn't seem to care.

I felt so awkward, i must have just spoke without thinking...

"The point of treasure is to admire it, it's something i quite enjoy..."

Uh..

I, um..

I don't what to say..

Don't get me wrong, i'm very offended..

But the other feelings are what's bothering me.

So, i quietly retort, "I'm not a treasure..."

"You are my treasure now"
