If he were the type to roll his eyes, Gepard would've done so already at that protest. Instead, he simply sighs under his breath as if dealing with a headache that he's somehow seen coming from a mile away; typical of Koski to make claims he can't meet at all just to get his hide out of a hole he's dug personally.
But it's Pela's next words that interest the captain more, his attention once more shifting to the smaller female.
And really, this entire conversation only proves one thing: Pela is the worst person to become one's enemy. The amount of information she's able to dig up and analyze on her own, proverbially piece together like a jigsaw puzzle that none of the other Intelligence Officers can do—it's a stroke of luck that she works for the Silvermane Guards.
"Well, then," Gepard remarks with a smirk. "Perhaps Koski will finally experience what it's like to be left behind in a precarious situation. They do say that what you give out will always return to you."
Not that he would intentionally do that, not if they're really to work together. But for once, they have a leash around his neck that's unlikely to disappear now.
"Let's see if his standards measure up to what he claims."
