[ Oh, Baelish is well aware of how this game is played. Give something to get something in return. He wouldn't expect anyone to expect handouts from him. And if they did, they would be in for a surprise! But the one thing that does give him pause is that he currently already has an imPort lawyer. Can one have two? He'll have to look into that.

But he's sure there's some way Dio can aid him. Even if it's just generating more of an imPort base in Maurtia Falls. ]

Have you met Jeffrey Winger yet? He is a fellow imPort in the field of law. And I believe he managed to obtain his successful practice not because of his talents but because when he arrived, they gave him his own reality television show.

Of course, I'm not saying you should stoop that that level. But having a way to generate interest in your craft will only serve to aid you. Would you be willing to lead a high profile native case -- just to get your name out there for imPorts? Or do you have no interest in working for the native population, even if it's only one case that serves as a means to an end?

[Yes, but how many time-stopping, mind controlling lawyers does he have? Dio thinks that even in this world of imPorts, one can value what Dio had to offer. Of course, he didn't offer those 'special services' to just anyone. He would have to find his way around the good Lord's morality first.]

Truly, a reality television show would not be my cup of tea. [All of those lights? No thank you. But he really has to think over the question for a moment.]

I suppose it would have to depend on the case. My primary concern is assisting those who are not used to this country and it's laws, but given the right case, I would not turn it down, whether for advertisement or otherwise. I am, however, intending to practice on my own, and would need to keep my pool of clientele small enough that I am not overwhelmed.

At least until I am more well-equipped to bring on [underlings] interns and the like.

[ Well, that needs to be in the sales pitch! Of course it's a no brainer between a time-stopping, mind controlling lawyer and Jeff Winger. No offense, Jeff! ]

I see. So you're interested in building from the ground up.

[ Not sudden overnight success that comes from manipulating Dio into the spotlight. They can work with this. ]

What I can do for you in that case is get you an excellent office space in a good location, and spread word of your services to any imPort who may be in need. A humble beginning, and one more than welcomed within my city which will be of benefit to you as well since I have been fighting for imPort businesses to receive perks within Maurtia Falls. Should there be anything you need monetarily, I can easily provide that as well. So long as you aid me in something I've been planning to do in these upcoming months...

[That's only part of the package for people who he knows well enough to be offering such things! He can't exactly go around advertising it. Some do-gooders might get their panties in a bunch about mind control used as defense in a court of law.]

I don't mind having to work my way up, as lucrative as a booming start would be.

An office space and word of mouth would be an excellent help to me. And I am all ears to provide you with assistance, just say the word. A small stipulation, though, I cannot go out in the sunlight. Anything that does not require that, you'll have from me.

A valuable thing to know, but fortunately for your condition -- Maurtia Falls thrives best in the night.

[ What with its drug trade, illegal activities, and amazing night life. ]

It isn't anything so large that would require much of you. Only a bit of support as I plan to run for mayor of this city. It's always regarded highly to have the endorsement of a fellow imPort professional, after all.

Yes! That was admittedly quite a large factor in choosing to move to this city.

[Very much including all of the more illicit activities. Dio liked that kind of immoral excitement. Humans were still so terrible, and thank god for that.]

Ah, something like that sounds absolutely up my alley. I wouldn't think to support anyone else, truly, especially since you have been so gracious already, my friend.

Then it seems you and I have struck the perfect arrangement. I shall be in touch with you soon in regards to all of this. Perhaps we can arrange for a meeting over a late dinner.

That would be lovely, so long as you do not mind terribly if I do not join you in eating. I'd be happy to join you with a glass of wine, though. I don't want to seem rude, but I have strange dietary restrictions.

[If Kaneki could openly be a cannibal, Dio could be a vampire without lying TOO much. After all, he could easily survive without killing, if he chose to.]

Ah, I will not be insulted in the least. I've come to learn that many of the individuals here have unique diets. But at the least, you can still enjoy a fine glass of wine. If you were unable to, that would be a true tragedy.

[ OOC: Log is here! ]
