You're making it sound as if I was the first person you went looking for after you got back.
[He's slipping back into old patterns, and older habits, and he hates that Sampo still has this strange hold over him. After all this time. Gepard tried to smother that part of him, and here it is, springing back up in response to Sampo's stupid smile and his stupid laugh and his obnoxious voice.]
Please be serious. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but as a civilian I haven't been keeping up with my training, so I doubt you'll have as much fun outrunning me as you used to.
[...even if he's decided to start morning jogs to get that part of him back in shape- Sampo doesn't need to know about that.]
The only thing I can do is offer you a book- I run a bookstore, Koski. [He says this flatly, like it's a fact the two of them should know and is obvious. After all, the two of them had been right there. But also, he'll probably play dumb.] And I have a family, so I won't be able to stay up as late as I used to. I'm so sorry to disappoint you.
