[He listens like he's a small child, at one point scooting closer on the couch to Sampo - not too much closer, a little closer - and holds the mug with steady hands as he stares and watches. He makes sounds as Sampo tells his story. Worse, Gepard lets himself get lost in that story. It doesn't matter what his past history had been with Sampo, all that mattered was the moment. Here. Now. The sound of Sampo's voice, which is, for once, calming? It's calming. He laughs as Sampo tells a joke, a soft huff that escapes his lips, and Gepard would be surprised by it if he was paying attention.
But then, Sampo stops, and Gepard blinks. Spell broken, he also glances over and it takes a lot to keep from cussing when he sees what time it is. He meant to give Sampo some of his time, but did he really mean to give him that much?]
...you're right. [He can admit this much.] I lost track of the time.
[He puts his mug (mostly untouched, he drank at first and then got lost in the story) on the tray, gets up- was he this close to Sampo? He could've sworn he was a little further away...who knows, really, it's actually kind of embarrassing that he just forgot himself this much. He should be rushing to unlock the door, flip the sign over, reassure people who thought something had happened, but- first things first.] You're a very good storyteller, Koski.
[He can bask in the moment for a little bit longer without it being weird, right...?]
