[The news of her kidnapping shocked him -- Chilton had yet to hear a word of that, and it took effort to fathom why anyone would subject sweet Lucy to such a traumatic experience.]
I know Lucy, yes. We were diplomats together, a few months back. The summit meeting in Paris. [A beat. Minor correction:] Ah -- Queen Lucy... Pevensie.
[Chilton wasn't so convinced that whoever this imPort-stealing imPort was had also captured Raina, but evidently Baelish had a remarkable network of intelligence. If anyone could determine what Chilton really needed, what he knew he needed and just could not bring himself to acknowledge, it would be him.
Given how imPorts kept their power cards so close to the chest, however, it would be tricky. Anyone with the power to predict if an exported imPort would ever return would be in tragically high demand.]
Terribly sorry to hear about it. I -- must assume you are close with her?
