[No one but Sampo Koski, that is. But Gepard is lacking that key piece of information, that bit about being an Emanator, because Sampo's on such a backwater planet that they don't know about how the whole blood-drinking thing is connected to Aeons yet. They apparently haven't gotten the news that being an Emanator also involves drinking people juice. But that's fine, it works in Sampo's favor most of the time.]
[Let Gepard think that it's a joke, up until the very moment that he thinks his ticket is punched and there's a handsome rogue there at the very last second. Perfect timing, right on script.]
Oh, no, nothing like that, that's not my style. [He waves a hand dismissively.] All that vanity! It's kind of gauche, isn't it? I'd prefer cold, hard cash. I'm sure you could convince your Supreme Guardian to give me a nice reward for saving her favorite captain!
[For him to have that much sway with her, that he'd joke about how she'd do as he asks... maybe he's aiming high with his affections, and that's why no one else has snapped him up. Well, good for him for being ambitious. From what little he's seen of her, Miss Bronya would be a nice catch for anybody, especially a well-born captain.]
