Please, don't rush on my account. [He doesn't know human speeds but that seems fast? Not excessively so, but definitely hustling speed for people. Gepard's not a legs expert, he doesn't understand the ground in the same way a human does, but he's seen people rushing about and he's got an idea of how fast a person generally goes.

But it's nice. It's exciting. Sure, he's breaking so many laws at the moment, and, sure, he wishes it was under different circumstances like not hurting his tail like an idiot. But a sleepover with his, uh. Friend? Really nice. Very exciting.]

I wouldn't want you to hurt your legs after I- well, hurt my tail, like you slip and fall and then where would we be? And if you draw too much attention from hurrying, someone might find this place and we'd have to find somewhere else to meet.

[ :c And what would they do then! How many coves are there on this island? This should not be his priority! He's already breaking a lot of laws, why is he gearing up to break more, Sampo Koski is a bad influence. Truly terrible. What is this. From an innocent, law abiding merman to whatever he is now.]
