[ 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.
