The King of Heroes raised an eyebrow upon hearing the question; the mongrels in Chaldea had certainly grown audacious, hadn't they? However, he merely poured himself another cup of wine and reclined upon his throne, clearly intending on answering. "Be thankful I am in a good mood, mongrel. If I find you have dozed off, your head will leave your shoulders before you take another breathe."
He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, expression softening unconsciously as he reminisced. "Siduri? Shy? Perish the thought. She was bold even as a child. Where other girls dreamed of becoming my future wives or concubines, she walked up to me and outright declared she wished to work for me when I became king! At that time, we had barely become acquainted; there was a room full of scandalized looks all around us, fuhahaha! I cannot quite recall what I was like as a child, but I remember seeing the impassioned look in her eyes and agreeing. Mmm, I had quite the eye for treasures even back then, as expected of myself."
He took a sip of wine to quench his thirst, then continued to speak. "As for how we bonded initially, well. As the heir to the throne, naturally there would be playmates selected for me. Siduri was one of them, and had stood out from the beginning. The others, knowing my mother was the goddess Ninsun, could not disguise their fear of me, but Siduri, although nervous, was not afraid of me. I took a liking to her and she became a favored playmate, although we did not truly bond until that moment of declaration. After that...I often took her out on jaunts to see Uruk and asked her opinion on the city and how to improve things, considering that if she really wished to work on me, naturally she should have an opinion on these sorts of matters. It was on one of these jaunts where the idea of her becoming my secretary came into being. Hmm, I was rather diligent when I was young, wasn't I?"
The King of Heroes snorted, having evidently finished speaking, and waved his hand in dismissal. "I have spoken enough; I am hardly a storyteller. Begone, do you not have duties in Chaldea to complete?"
