[It probably isn't all that surprising that Gepard would've just gone right into work if he hadn't been interrupted. Whether it's because of the force of habit or sheer stubbornness isn't immediately obvious, but Gepard's nothing if not a workaholic. Either option is equally viable.]
Wouldn't you have gotten in trouble if you'd shown up, because you're on medical leave?
[Most employers would probably frown upon their employees completely disregarding a doctor's orders, especially when said doctor's orders occurred right after a particularly troubling shift. It wouldn't have been that strange for Gepard to have been told to take a day off after being attacked and kidnapped by their mysterious assailant, just because of the stress. The fact that it was less stressful due to Sampo being the closest thing to vegan that a vampire can be is beside the point.]
You're very dedicated! I'm sure no one minds handling your duties for a day or two while you get a little rest. [Many of them might breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the Captain had finally taken a little time for himself like a mere mortal man.] And, well, you at least know that I'm off of everyone's plate!
[No more mysterious victims waking up near geomarrow heaters with sore necks and amnesia. That also means no more time wasted on trying to find an elusive perpetrator, no more reports, no more meetings and patrol alterations. A fair bit of work cleared off of their to-do lists, all because Gepard decided to become a people-flavored Capri Sun.]
So don't feel so bad! You might be taking some time off, but it's after saving everyone some work, so doesn't it all kind of balance out?
