[It’s a small but important distinction! Anyone could go out and buy a dessert, but ol’ Sampo took the time to make one for you. Granted, panna cotta isn’t a very difficult dessert, so it wasn’t much of a bother, but it’s the thought that counts, right? Plus, he wants a little test run of his theory that Gepard will taste different if he feeds him differently. Maybe after a sugary dessert, he’ll be sweet instead of bitter.]
[And Gepard’s reaction is adorable. Worth the trouble for that alone.]
I’ll get it for you once you’re done with the main course.
[If Gepard had had the nerve to ask him about date adjacent things… who knows? Maybe he’d have said yes. Maybe he’d have said no. Maybe he’d have been the voice of reason and told Gepard that it was a stupid idea to get so close to a thing that saw you as dinner.]
[He even apologizes for making Sampo wait. The Captain is too good a man for his own self preservation, and it’ll get him in trouble one of these days.]
I’ve been waiting a few weeks. What’s another few minutes? [He assumes that Gepard’s already worked out the timeline, since he knows when Sampo’s victims were found and when the blood shortage started.] Besides, we want you as tasty as you can be, right?
[And theoretically, that would be after he’s all full up on tenderloin and greens and dessert— the latter of which Sampo will helpfully bring out once he’s nearly done with the rest of his plate.]
There’s plenty more if you’re still hungry, too.
[He’d given Gepard pretty hearty portions in anticipation of his appetite, but there’s more if he wants it. And enough that Sampo has ideas for tomorrow’s lunch, for the leftovers.]
