There's no accounting for taste.

[As far as Sampo can tell, this woman had the Prize-- she had the galaxy's most loyal partner. That's what everyone wants, right? A guy who's a hundred percent husband material. Considering she stuck around long enough to have a kid with him, marriage must have been on the table at some point. And assuming that Gepard is a reliable narrator here, she got bored enough to ditch not only a presumably loving partner, but also her own child.]

[Lots of people have called Sampo a snake before, for many different reasons, but boy. Even he'd call that pretty cold-blooded.]

[(Unless she noticed something about the man she was with that would make her want to go. Still pretty cold to leave your kid, even so.)]

[But that explains the empty bedroom, the lack of Lily's mother in the house. She's gone, out of the picture, gave up her claim. One person's failure is another's opportunity.]


Lily's a cute name, though. [He smiles and looks at Gepard side-long.] Did you name her?

[Mister Can't-Keep-A-Plant-Alive, naming his daughter after flowers. This is one lily that he's taking care of pretty well, right? Blossoming like anything.]
