[For a moment, when Sampo returned, he thought that Gepard had left-- there was no handsome merman visible from the shore. But then that blond head pokes up from the waves, proving that he hadn't left, he'd just been soaking for a little while to soothe his poor tail. Sampo would never admit it out loud, but he's relieved to see that pale head again.]

I'm here! [He hops down the rocks with his burdens, depositing some of them up the beach where it's still dry. The netting, he brings down to the water for his fishy friend.] I brought the net that you wanted. Is this enough? I got extra, I wasn't sure how much you needed.

[Because he wouldn't want to bring too little netting for Gepard to make his hammock and either have to have the poor guy shove himself into a small bed or have to go back up to town for more.]

The rest of the stuff is so that I can stay for a while! If you're stuck here, you might as well have company, right?
