Doctor Chilton.

[ He sounds positively delighted to hear the man's voice. ]

I thank you for your kind words and your support throughout. Do go on about this proposition of yours...

[slightlyoffchilt]

Of course, Ambassador. [Hierarchy was to be respected.] As you are well aware, the city of Maurtia Falls suffers frequent bouts of criminal activity -- the current prison system is incarceration without real medication. Remarkable how often inmates suffer from untreated mental illness -- anything from depression to schizophrenia, and naturally the personality disorders. The social effects are as devastating as they are repetitious. A truly sufficient psychiatric system aligned with current institutions would impact the modern rate of recidivism greatly.

[A beat.]

If composed and managed by the right psychiatric authority.

[baetiful]

Yes, naturally. And given your credentials, publications, and best selling novel -- you would be the ideal man to head this project. Yours is a face of stability, a face the public can trust, and the only one I would entrust in this scenario.

So what does your proposed psychiatric system entail?

[slightlyoffchilt]

The Maurtia Falls Hospital for Behavioral Renovation. That is what I want built, what I want to call it. The focus would be on reeducating criminal offenders who exhibit a certain. Potential. The sort of potential that you think can be rehabilitated and engaged back with Maurtia Falls society.

The kind of people you find useful, Ambassador.

[A beat.]

And... I have a prototype of an imPort Containment Center, in my current hospital. I want to address the needs of both the native and imPort populace.

[baetiful]

I would like to see it at some point. If you do not mind giving me a tour of your current facility. But I do like the idea of what you are proposing. And I believe, together, it is something we can see to fruition.

So would you be relocating to my city? At least in terms of full time work. I believe the Falls would be well-suited to your needs, my friend.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Name the day, and I can accommodate.

[A beat followed, in the wake of Baelish's question.]

I am considering the move, yes.

[baetiful]

Have you simply grown weary of Heropa? Or are you seizing an opportunity because you know you and I will be great allies?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I might concede to both, actually. Heropa, for all its charm, has... Complications.

[baetiful]

Are we talking about something more than the horrid weather?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Not fond of Southern heat? I don't mind it, actually.

[baetiful]

[ Why must you always deflect, Chilton! ]

I will always be a northerner at heart.

[slightlyoffchilt]

If not for your accent -- [Which was maybe Irish? Sometimes?] -- I'd believe you were from Maine.

[baetiful]

My home was in the Vale. There are a few rocky islands that stretch toward the waters called The Fingers. My family owned land in the smallest of those Fingers, a few stony acres on the coast. I was mocked during my childhood for it. They called me Littlefinger. A name that was cruel enough to stick. But a name I have embraced as a reminder of where I began and how far I've come.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Children can be so vicious. [Said Chilton, as he looked at his own little finger. The pinky.] In my world, there comes a colloquial with that. Swearing by your little finger.

Funny how that works.

[baetiful]

Would you swear by this Littlefinger?

[slightlyoffchilt]

[A long beat.]

Will it get me my hospital?

[baetiful]

You shall get your hospital, Doctor Chilton. It was my very platform, after all. To see imPort businesses thrive in my city. I will be sitting down with the government officials soon to discuss what can be done to encourage these imPorts to create jobs in Maurtia Falls -- be it tax incentives, healthcare programs, or whatever it is they can offer. I will bring this idea up to them then. Of course, it will require that meeting and tour of your current facility first.

But it is the least I can do for you as my dear friend -- to help your dreams come to reality.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Then yes. I will do whatever is necessary, Lord Baelish, as long as I am Director of that facility.

[The highest of Administrators, the King of kings.]

Whatever you need.

[baetiful]

[ The smirk can be heard in his voice. ]

You would do well in Westeros. A man of your ambitions who seizes an opportunity where he can.

[slightlyoffchilt]

High praise, of course.

[Chilton took a deep, quiet breath.]

When ought I expect your visit? I imagine you'll want to see the prototype before we begin discussing a timeline for the Maurtia Falls Hospital for Behavioral Renovation.

[baetiful]

Whenever your schedule is free. I will always make time for you, my friend.

[slightlyoffchilt]

This Saturday. The morning, if your would, it is a quieter time. I imagine in the immediate future you have quite the busy schedule -- celebrations, perhaps?

[baetiful]

Well, I do intend to have a dinner this evening in celebration. You are invited, of course.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh? Is the venue somewhere I know?

[baetiful]

Fiore Di Mare. A classy Italian restaurant within the Falls. I am not certain how familiar you are with my city [ my city. ] but this place is lovely with a riverfront view.
