[No need to flirt? There's always a need to flirt with Gepard! Besides, Sampo had done it for years back when he and Gepard still played their games of cat-and-mouse, why break the habit now that he's returned? The poor man seems to have been dreadfully un-flirted with for so long, and he's clearly out of practice.]

You're such a worrier, Gepard! I'm not going out of my way to get chased around by your successor, it wouldn't be nearly as fun as our games were.

[Ah, the sweet nostalgia of the good old days, when Gepard was young and strapping and filled out a starched uniform to perfection, and Sampo got a front-row seat to him getting all hot and bothered in it. Not that Gepard isn't still a fine specimen of a man, he would still fill out a uniform excellently, but he probably wouldn't put one on again even if Sampo asked nicely. Maybe he'd be able to convince him someday, and they could play a whole different kind of cat-and-mouse game...]

If you must know, once we're done here, I actually have an appointment at Qlipoth Fort to file paperwork! There's all sorts of documents that I have to get approved before I can start an official business, especially if I plan to bring in off-world goods. Ah, bureaucracy!

[Sampo, filing official paperwork? That he hasn't forged? Brace yourself for the surprise of your life, Gepard.]
