...Do tell me that was a jest. Or... or an attempt to distract me from the matter at hand. Aha! That's what it was, wasn't it?
[She doesn't wait for an answer.]
I'll not be so easily dissuaded, you know! I was trying to be sensitive, but since you think you can toy with me, the kid gloves are coming off! --Oh, but I do know it's not your fault, of course. It's merely the drugs. And I shall free you from their dark clutches with the power of righteousness!
[voice]
[ Of all the absurd things he expected L'Arachel to say, that was not one of them. ]
What are you even talking about, Princess? I know that there are a lot of illicit activities that go on within Maurtia Falls but merely because I live there does not mean I partake in such things.
[voice]
As am I. So come now, stop playing the fool and tell me what would cause you to fall to such a state.
[voice]
[ Petyr's words were full of disdain. There is only one mutual acquaintance between the two of them that he is aware of. Only one who would petty enough to spread such lies. ]
It wounds me that you would believe such folly about my character, Princess. This has all been a grave misunderstanding, I assure you. I would not and will never use such mind altering substances. Clarity of mind is of utmost importance to me. Though perhaps you should consider your source and why they may have said such things. It could be that they are trying to distract you from their own vice. Their own problem with, oh. I don't know. Alcohol?
[ Rincewind is drunk like 95% of the time Petyr talks to him, so he has to imagine that's true with just about everyone. ]
[voice]
[She wants to believe that, very much... but Rincewind also warned her that Petyr might try to reject any aid. And she doesn't believe for a moment that the wizard would simply be trying to distract her from anything--she's only seen him drunk once, and if there was a problem, surely he would seek her help rather than try to avoid it. They're friends.]
I would like very much for that to be the case, and your words give me hope, but you must understand that I will not take any chances. This is for your own good. I must have your sworn oath, here and now, that you have seen the light of reason and that you shall henceforth have nothing to do with this evil.
[voice]
I swear my oath to you and your gods that I have not nor will I ever touch such vile substances, Princess. May I be struck down or met with swift divine justice right now if I were lying to you.
[ And when nothing happens to him, he goes on to repeat. ]
As I've said, this is a grave misunderstanding.
[voice]
Oh, wonderful! Now, that wasn't so hard, was it? I daresay this went very well indeed! I do have to wonder where the confusion arose... oh, but Rin--er, our friend will be so pleased to hear of this! You have put our minds at ease, Lord Baelish!
[She will just. Continue to believe he was joking about the brothels.]
[voice]
[ But oh. Rincewind is going to pay dearly. ]
