[The coffee is good-- it's just Sampo's taste buds that are ruined, attuned now to having an all-blood diet. But he's stomaching it all right this morning, able to take a few sips of it so long as he's careful and slow, and the smell of it and the familiar routine is something like a comfort. One tiny, little normal thing that he can still do, have coffee with someone in the morning.]
[When Gepard asks the question about his feeding schedule, well... it's a pertinent question. A smart thing for him to ask, really. It's just an uncomfortable one, too.]
Ah, well. Sooner rather than later, probably! [He has the decency to at least look a little apologetic about that.] I was kind of already pushing it. I don't have to eat as often as people do, but I have to eventually.
[Or else he'd die, presumably. He hasn't really tested it that far, because he likes not being dead, but one has to assume. Anything that needs to eat can starve, if given enough time.]
No pressure! I'll figure something out, if I need to. It's not like you're going to taste better immediately anyway, it'll probably take a little while. [Better health doesn't happen overnight, after all. It's the result of consistency, of a commitment to changed behavior. One day of eating well and getting a good night's sleep won't cut it.]
Getting you to a doctor is the first thing. They'll probably tell you the same things that I have, but maybe they can give you something that'll help?
[A course of vitamins, maybe, or something to help him sleep if he has a hard time keeping a consistent schedule.]
