[ Such a mistake for the King of Heroes to draw such conclusions.
Ozymandias sees that the other will not be backing down. No matter, a minor irritation and several wasted minutes. Ramesses does not back off despite the more aggressive stance that the other has taken. He merely observes, his eyes flickering momentarily— of what exactly, isn't known, before bringing one hand to rest on his hip.
He is not inclined to be wagering anything he owns, really—not because he fears losing it but because it is inconvenient to offer and then take back. The rewards sound interesting and with potential but he does not trust any of the carnival nor its employees. Their magic is obvious to him and it reeks of mischief and deceit, albeit not necessary all of ill will.
Nevertheless, it is untrustworthy. ]
Hou? For such a claim to be made... [ this'll be indeed rich, at least, one way or another, he supposes.
Very well. Conjure a game. I will offer an appropriate wager should it be of such merit as you say.
[ there's no need for him to be waving possessions about in offers for games he knows nothing of concerning its content. To do such is to commit to the game before even knowing of it's true nature.
Ozymandias will make the choice when he is fine good and ready.
His own stance has become a warning. It acknowledges the other's existence, and there is aggression to be had if one is not careful, but there is no aggressive suggestion of pushing forward without first a reason. More or less, he's still giving Gilgamesh a chance to avoid a mistake because he is a tolerant and generous Pharoah that likes to show mercy at times when it is most needed. Such as now. The window only remains open for so long, however.
He does not take kindly even to the thought someone may be dishonest with him in their words or actions. ]
