Snow and Lucy? Is that so? Does he normally keep his finger in nobility?

[baetiful]

He took a vow of chastity by becoming part of the Night's Watch. It's a group devoted to serving the realm itself rather than any specific king. But I suppose death may have freed him from those bonds. Being as young as he is, no doubt he's starved for female affection. That she is nobility only furthers her appeal.

[slightlyoffchilt]

And if I am to understand correctly, he would be the type to rationalize that his bond has since been excused? Given how his circumstance has changed.

Are you going to use him?

[baetiful]

I had planned on it. But I believe he may be more of a nuisance than an aid. Still, I'm always one to keep my options open. So for now, he's merely on standby until I can find some way for him to fit into my game.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Well, it is always nice to have extra pawns.

Is Jorah still in your employ?

[baetiful]

For the time being. I would prefer to keep him in my employ, but unfortunately, his loyalties will always lie with Daenerys Targaryen. And I have allied myself with the man who had killed her father. Which may very well complicate things, you understand.

[ Welcome to Westeros. All drama, all the time. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Was she close to her father, then? Because, if so, I certainly understand why you might not be her favorite person. But if not, you've simply cleared her path to power.

[baetiful]

Of that, I am uncertain. I do not know how Aerys Targaryen treated his children. But at the time, she was a babe and likely does not recall either. Her father was a mad man who would have leveled the entire city and killed many more. Perhaps one of the worst kings we've had. But she will always house a loyalty toward her bloodline that goes beyond reason.

Her brother is also here now. He is the sort you could potentially see in your hospital.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Her brother? I take it he is the one quite different from her. [Baelish had discussed the recent Targaryen generation, if briefly, and Chilton strove to recall the details.] You are keeping an eye on that one? From the context alone, he sounds menacing.

[baetiful]

[ The mad one. It's okay to say it. Hell, Baelish will do it for you, Chilton. ]

Ah yes. Viserys Targaryen takes after his father quite a bit. But he can be controlled and appeased by flattery. I'm certain you know the type. Quick to ire but a few well-placed compliments and they are quite ready to do as you wish.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I see.

And does he do what you wish? After a well-placed compliment? You must be speaking from experience.

[baetiful]

I believe in time he will. In this case, a well-placed compliment showed him I was someone he could trust. But should he prove to be a piece that cannot be used, I trust you will take him off of my hands? No doubt he will showcase his madness to the world well before then. You'll have more than enough proof that he belongs within your containment center.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I can handle what you do not require any longer.

[Chilton wasn't usually one to take being a clean up man easily... But Baelish controlled the purse-strings, and they had that weekend in Maine that really stripped raw their mutual ambitions.

Exceptions could be made.]

[baetiful]

It would not be without benefit to you, naturally. Perhaps his mind would be unique enough for you to understand. Or if nothing else, it will help you test out the kinks in your containment center.

But while we're talking, there is another matter I would like to discuss with you of less significance.

[slightlyoffchilt]

What other matter might that be, Lord Ambassador?

[baetiful]

I believe I have discussed my library idea with you before.

[ On their trip in Maine. Where a great deal of discussion happened. ]

Construction for it is underway and should be completed within the next month -- barring any incidences. I had hoped you would be willing to donate a few signed copies of your book as well as quite possibly holding a book signing right at the library when it opens. I believe your popularity could generate a great deal of interest within both the imPort and native communities. You are our very first imPort author, after all.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I certainly can, yes. It would be quite the honor. What opening date have you in mind? I'll be sure to schedule for it immediately.

[baetiful]

I would very much appreciate it, Doctor Chilton. March 18th is the intended date, but if it changes I will let you know. Reggie Mantle has very graciously offered to aid you in whatever you need.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Has he?

You must have worked some magic over him. Reggie is usually more reluctant.

[baetiful]

I merely told him how much you would appreciate his company. He must look up to you greatly.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Hm. He makes a habit of obscuring his emotional inclination. This is interesting to know.

Well, I think you organized a very good event, Lord Ambassador. I am utterly at your disposal.

[baetiful]

I do appreciate it, my friend. And I cannot say I blame Reggie Mantle in the least. You are someone to admire. I'm both honored and pleased to have you on board.

[slightlyoffchilt]

An honor, coming from you.
