[Oh. Oh wow. He takes the rose. Takes a moment to smell it. (It smells perfect. He savors the smell. He has to.) Logically, he knows this is probably some kind of...platonic friendship moment from a skilled salesman who really wants to make a sale. If it means anything, it just means that Sampo Koski is friendly.
Logically, Gepard knows he should smile and move on, but emotionally, he knows that he's going to put the rose in a vase, stare at it a lot, dry it when the time comes, maybe preserve a petal in a bookmark, and some rose-based tattoo flash is going to pop up later.]
I'd like that. [Understatement. He's following Sampo like they're old friends and there's nowhere else he'd rather be, which, well. There isn't.] Honestly, as much as I like flowers, I'm not good at keeping them alive - the closest I can usually get is either a bouquet or drawing them. I think that's one of the reasons why I include them every chance I get.
