Oh no, my queen. I simply see the look behind his eyes when he speaks of you. It's unmistakable. He is a good man. A bit serious and stoic, but those Starks often are. It would do him well to have your friendship.
[ And probably more. He knows how these young romances seem to go. They work out for everyone except Baelish himself!!! ]
[Because they're more like her in terms of knowledge than they are like those who come from this land.]
But, this is not a productive line of discussion. And so: I must insist that you have my support, on measures of increased health and safety, at your discretion, my lord.
I do appreciate your kindly offer. And should there ever come a time when I have need of it, I will certainly call on your aid. Is this all you wished to discuss, Your Grace?
[ He shakes his head and rises to his feet to see her out. ]
Only that you be careful, sweetling. When it comes to those of us from Westeros, there are some dangerous sorts. As more and more of us keep porting in, I fear you may start to be swept up in personal family wars and politics.

Should you find a need for some additional forces, De Chima is most happy to help you, sir.
[She tilts her head up just a little. Lord Baelish.]
I cannot help what his Grace said to me. As you know, very little is private in matters of poltics.

Thank you for your care, Lord Baelish. I should be so hard pressed to find someone as considerate of my safety. Please.
Do not hesitate should you need things, and I will certainly take care, sir.
[She stands and takes his arm, carefully, but she's smiling softly the whole time.]
