Sampo had an idea that maybe, just maybe, this time they'll send someone other than Gepard to go after him. Y'know, to catch him off guard? Well, he didn't predict it to be today.

"H-haha, are you sure I'm the one you're lookin' for..?"

He said a bit nervously but still grinning as you closed the handcuffs around his wrists. Sampo was sitting on his knees right on the snow, a poster with him drawn by Gepard laying just beside him as you looked between him and down at the poster.

Yeah. It's totally him.

"I mean- Pffft! Look at that poorly drawn poster! That's obviously not me." - He continued, trying to fool you.

Merchant chuckled sheepishly once you gave him a look that said 'I'm not buying it'. He murmured something under his breath, and you could've sworn you heard a subtle curse.

He was used to getting away with anything. He spoke up again, looking up at you, head tilted now.

"...Shucks.. Uh, hey, come on, pal. What abouttt— Let's have a deal instead? No?"
