[ A long, pregnant pause in which Baelish takes a moment to draw in a breath of contemplation. ]
Whatever Lord Snow has told you was to be a private conversation. It's not indicative of the desperate need of my city as seems to have been implied. We are a rougher sort. That is undeniably true. And I believe we could only benefit from imPort presence. But I would much rather that presence be permanent than on rental. We need people who will choose to live here, see the problems at their root, and help to destroy that root. We need more Doctor Chiltons or Major-General Armstrongs or Count Dookus. We need more idealistic individuals like Ken Kaneki or Percival Graves. We need strong business leaders like Bela Talbot or James Patrick March.
Surely that is something you understand, Your Grace. De Chima has so many strong and prominent leaders, yourself included, and look at how smoothly things run for the most part.
