[Even when you're living an adventurous life, it's not all action and daring-do. There are some pretty long periods of down-time that can get kind of boring, and you've got to do something to keep yourself entertained. Sending out Nigerian prince scams to unsuspecting rich folks can only keep his attention for so long, after all-- sometimes you have to give your brain a challenge by planning how you'd open a business on a previously isolated planet to turn a nice profit and seduce handsome blond men.]
[It had sounded like a good idea at the time, especially the seducing blond men part. Sure, he had entertained the sort of wistful hope that said blond men could consist of a certain guard captain, but was realistically expecting to have to settle for a revolving door of Other Blonds. (Realistically speaking, he may still have to settle for Other Blonds-- even if Gepard's single, Sampo's only evidence towards his romantic proclivities is one failed relationship with a woman. While he could try his luck as Brughel Poisson, that would only last until Gepard saw what's under the skirts.)]
If I tell you, will you put in a bad word for me? Like you did with your sister! [Got him kicked out of the band, so rude. Just because he did a few scams doesn't mean that he was a bad band member!]
Word of mouth is one of the best forms of advertising, after all! If I have someone as respectable as you saying bad things about my business, I'll be dead in the water.
