[Oh, yes, Gepard, you look very captain-y right now, very scary. The conman currently known as Figaro is just shaking in his boots about it. You're a very big and intimidating man.]
[Sampo taps a finger against his chin, thinking.] Not a whole lot of people have seen me up in the Overworld! And if anyone starts asking questions, well... maybe it wouldn't be so bad to let them draw their own conclusions and just not correct them.
[So what if someone thinks things about their relationship? That might make it easier, be a convenient excuse for why he's around Gepard all the time. Even if the assumption is just that it's one-sided, that Sampo is the one harboring feelings for the stoic Captain... the worst that happens is the rest of the guard feels sorry for him for all the effort he's putting in. He can handle a little misguided pity if it gets him a stable food source.]
It wouldn't be without its benefits for me! [Nudge right back.] If you're going to be a big part of my diet, than I have a vested interest in making sure that you're healthy. Investing in you is investing in me.
[Besides, Gepard's offer is useless for him if he isn't healthy enough to handle getting blood taken from him regularly, regardless of how it tastes. And his body might not be able to take too many additional stresses before he really does start getting sick, iron willpower be damned. It's kind of in everyone's interest to take care of it before it becomes a real problem.]
