It's not often that Gilgamesh could be said to be outside of his element, given how adaptable his sort are, and how he in particular really has been known to have a few ... incarnations.
Look, his summonings have had some variety. Gilgamesh was even made aware that, in one summoning, he did in fact enter the future and a digital world. But not this summoning -- and even if it were, he somehow gets the sense that this world is really nothing like any of the possibilities, even of his other summonings/incarnations.
Nothing makes one more acutely aware of being in a whole new world than these cybernetic flora/fauna.
"It would be rather strange if I did not, wouldn't it?"
Lucy's Bios is white-purple: Gilgamesh's is a pale signature of gold. Fitting... there were those, including himself, who said his own soul was golden. But some of those other hues were rather nice, too. He wonders if the magic or the technology (though what this world called technology certainly felt magical in its own way) of this world has the ability to change the hue depending on context. Would the colors shift with other implementations or abilities?
As for Gilgamesh... he had very nearly considered the magic path. Sure, mages were mangy. Wizards... one need only think of Merlin. Sorcerers? That Other Mongrel, the King of Mages or whatever. Just an insufferable bunch. Really, even this Caster identity of his was somewhat built around the trollish potential thereof. But even with all that, and his attitude on the mage society(ies) of latter centuries, magic was still the more familiar of the two options presented here. Technology of the sort presented here was seemingly rather alien to anything Gilgamesh had encountered. But if he had to make a choice, well, leave it to the King of Heroes to be something of a contrarion. Some of Gilgamesh's reasoning was admittedly that if his magecraft were to return organically, this path might be better for the bling aspect.
But, also... in his own way, he's open-minded. If there are treasures or adventures, then something can be worth pursuing.
"We should probably work towards getting them settled. Quite obnoxious -- "
Well, he waves his hand -- he outfitted the circuit to his gauntlet, and, tethering the Bios from his body to the Bursterfly, as well as with the tech affinity, he can now control its movements with a thought. The Bursterfly emits a soft hum. The goal, of course, is to help modulate the birds' song.
"Using a metal bug to placate a metal bird? Utter nonsense! I suppose I must approve of the absurdity in some respect, yet how is it that this is a training activity? Ahaha..."
