[Unbeknownst to him, Gilgamesh had made this same deal with another worker earlier. And in that case, he was also forced to pick a coin that was not of his choice. This time, he's prepared. He's enchanted both coins in his pocket, and made them appear absolutely identical—equal in every way.
However, the same catch as before exists. Gilgamesh, affected by fae magic, cannot lie if confronted with something directly. If the stranger challenges him on the fairness of either of the coins, he must tell them they are rigged in his favor. So now they play a game within a game: a game of body language, where Jajo must try to oust the deceiver before he deceives.]
Here. I have two.
[Gilgamesh pulls out two coins. True to form, they look exactly the same, and do not seem to waft any aura of magic.]
Pick whichever one you like; examine them as you see fit.
