I eat a mostly fish and vegetarian diet. For the record. Anyway, this is going to sound stupid because it always sounds stupid, but my grandfather a couple of times removed is a rhinelord. A sort of faerie. And I'm more that than I usually look.
I didn't learn illusions here, is what I mean.

Oh, I do not mean he would be a king here in the official sense, of course. But it will not stop others from rallying around him, from admiring him and his lady fair -- from starting to hold him on the same sort of pedestal. The civilians can sometimes go a bit mad over imPort couplings. They will even see it where it does not exist.
And this is where he would be able to find himself elected to a sort of position of power -- even if he's hardly qualified for such. A bridge we shall cross where the time comes -- because the one true thing that unites you and I is the fact that Ned Stark's children, bastard and all, despise us both.

Other ambassador, you mean. Singular.
[ Petyr Baelish, asshole extraordinaire, sounds a bit smugly pleased by this. Lucy had proven herself to be a hindrance to his goals. So, the porter did for him what he could not do himself -- got her out of the way. ]
But I could certainly make myself available for both. What did you have in mind?

I...may reach out to Lucy's surrogate, for politeness.
[ A pause. ] The one with all of us will be a Q&A, as well as a primer on government for those of us who aren't really used to that.
For us... perhaps something a little more...targeted. Something to further our mutual interests.

Do not.
[ It was a cautionary warning from a friend to a friend. ]
Jon Snow would sooner utilize any chance to talk as a chance to discredit me and perhaps you as well should he realize we are good friends. He is a fool, naive to this world's politics, and yet a fool who inspires people to follow him blindly. We cannot give him a platform that may allow others to vote for him should he decide to run as De Chima's ambassador. It would only prove to be problematic. So much so, that I've been thinking of convincing Sam Merlotte to go for the position, even though I had planned on grooming him for Maurtia Falls.
Perhaps you could invite him to speak? As someone who once ran for ambassador and someone who lives in De Chima currently. He has enough knowledge to be able to speak on the matter -- more so than Snow.

Not much, day to day. As far as I know there aren't any faerie courts around to complicate matters, and I'm a relative novice in terms of what I can do. Generally speaking it means I have different physiological needs which aren't anybody's problem and I have some elemental magic. If you find me charming, though, it's probably because of what I am and not my personality.
( real talk. )
And if you're ever anywhere handy to fresh water and you'd like to not be there in a hurry, I can travel between any fresh water sources in the world. If no one's tampering with them.
( not that she assumes baelish gets into tr--
no yeah but if he needs a quick out. )

A dark day for us all, but even a bastard's rule is a storm we might weather. Still--as it is upon the foundation of this grudge that we have, in part, built our own happy alliance--I'll be sure to send letters of thanks to the Starks and to Daenerys Targaryen both, the moment I lay my hands upon some parchment and ink.
Which, speaking of--do you intend to continue to employ Mormont after all of this?

I find you bright, intelligent and valuable. And I'd like to hope those are the traits of your personality and not your glamor. But all jokes aside, that is useful to know.
Define fresh water sources -- does the water have to be of a certain purity? We would be hard pressed to find something without the slightest bit of pollution.

A natural water source that isn't salt water - it doesn't have to be pure, but I will ask for hazard pay if it was really gross because I spend a lot of money to have hair this nice. I don't do the ocean. But lakes and rivers and things, as long as they aren't manmade.
Also thank you :)
Also thank you :)
[ There's hesitation. Not because he would shy away from telling Jaime if he was going to keep Jorah or not, but because Baelish still has yet to decide what the best course would be. ]
Mormont is good at what he does. He's kept me alive and he's been a large part of why I've been able to keep a relatively peaceful relationship with the dragon queen.
[ A pause. ]
However, I am not foolish enough to believe I harbor his loyalty so long as she is in this world. This most recent event has been proof of that.
[ There's another pause. It seems as though Baelish is working through it as he speaks. ]
I've contemplated both options and I'm leaning toward keeping him employed for the time being. We must still continue to play the game, after all, and so long as I provide him with a paycheck, he should not turn his blade on me.
Or on you again. Hopefully.

And I agree, Sam would be preferred.
[ There's a pause. ]
But I also don't wish to play favorites, either. I don't think that bringing Sam into something like this when we have a temporary, acting Ambassador would do us any favors, as clear leaders in the Political community.
[ There's a pause. ]
Perhaps we could instead have a second panel. Perspectives form all levels -- the Ambassador, the Senator, and... the candidate.
As clear of an endorsement as I can swing.
[A beat.] I'm honestly not worried about him trying to change or manipulate my associations. After all, my Deputy Mayor was once a supervillain -- back when I ran a city.

And who gave Lord Snow the authority to act as a temporary Ambassador, pray tell? From my understanding, if a port out happens, then the position should be vacant. No one voted him into office. The city will continue to run without an ambassador -- especially since De Chima has an imPort Senator. So him filling in is completely unnecessary.
[ He mulls over Mitch's words and has to give them credit. Mitch is a true politician who knows the way this democracy operates. It certainly isn't Westeros where they could be blatant in their favoritism. ]
I do agree that having Sam there may wind up looking unfavorable, but Jon Snow also has no place there either. And having him speak may come across as an unintentional endorsement as well as condoning his unjustified behavior. He fucked the ambassador. That does not make him one.
[ The proposed idea of the panel does get an approving hum from him. ]
The idea for your second panel could work. I have to wonder if there might be a more subtle way to do it -- some issue that ties the three of us together that could be utilized to show Sam's competence and put the idea into the minds of those who attend that he might be a good pick? Perhaps something related to imPort business since you and I championed for tax cuts on imPort businesses, and he is an owner of one of those businesses.

It also looks like a purposeful snub when we both endorse Sam.
[ He pointed out. ]
In our politics here, someone close to the politician normally fills in until there is a new replacement voted in. It's not...ideal, but it allows for people to have a semblance of consistency. And while I don't...necessarily have any fondness toward Mr. Snow...
[ A pause. ] I also don't want him to come out and say that we were unreasonable and unwilling to work with him, when he runs, and Sam is his opponent. Then there's cries for nepotism, and even if heand if he tries to talk shit about you later, you were the one entirely willing to work with him.

If you believe coin will still his hand, you either know something I don't, or you do not value dragon cunt very highly. At least, not so highly as Mormont values it.
[Love and devotion and loyalty and allegiance, all mixed up in one blinding force. Jaime counts himself lucky that his love is neatly bound up with the interests of House Lannister, in every way. Even then, he would as of like choose Cersei over even his lord father.]
Still. Your business is your own. Though for my part, I must tell you, Lord Baelish, that I do not like the sound of that hopefully. If there are any blades turned on me, I can't promise to smile at them as readily as you seem able. Call it a strength of mine--one that will, I suppose, be an asset to you in turn, should the promise of pay turn out to be less tempting than you believe.

I am not willing to work with him. I extended that invitation from the beginning. I tried to work with him. And he snubbed my invitation, turned Lucy against me, murdered my birds, and uses every opportunity he can to discredit me. This panel would be no different.
So respectfully, if you still wish to extend the invitation and have him take part, I will have to decline participating on my end. And it isn't out of stubbornness or an inability to see the truth of your words. It's simply that I have exhausted all efforts to try and work with Jon Snow already. I can recognize a hopeless cause and would much rather focus on making FanPort as productive as I can.

I don't think so. I don't know how I would, anyway. I can't hear anything properly from underwater and I'd be right there, so it's not very subtle. And if you've ever looked through water, it's sort of blurry from underneath.

[ Jorah is not a fool in Baelish's opinion. Unless Daenerys went mad someday, she would likely not order him to turn on the man who paid him well and also served as an ambassador. He could be wrong, of course. But he kind of hopes not. ]
Should he turn his blade on you again, I give you full leeway to see him dead. Of course, bear in mind that death means little in a world where we can revive at the will of the little machines in our bodies. But I am certain Ser Jorah knows that his continued employment relies solely on being able to keep the peace within our little group. I'll not give him a third chance.
