You were the one who told me of your bet when I suggested you vote for Dio. You also implied you had not lost, if I recall. And whether or not you have the self control to resist a vampire is not my concern. I do not appreciate being the chip you play when you feel you are losing the higher ground against Merlotte.
I am positive you will. And perhaps you will find yourself fortunate and there will be a generous bidder on the 12th. One who believes you are worth ten thousand dollars...
I certainly found it humiliating to be confronted by it in the middle of an endorsement for Dio. I especially found it humiliating to be confronted by it when I was in the middle of angling for your agenda in regards to him.
Now, then. I do not view this as unreasonable. You made a mistake, and I am allowing you the opportunity to make it up to me. It is not as though I will be forcing you into lewd and lascivious acts. You will essentially be helping me help this city by volunteering your time.
[ With a sigh. He almost feels like a parent, having to work out the differences between two sons. ]
I do understand. There are sometimes those we cannot help but antagonize. And those who in turn do the same to us. But if you allow him the power over you to a point where you lose control of your own actions, that will do you no favors.
Sam Merlotte will be yours in time. But you do not have to try so hard to capture him. You are already the smarter man.

Of course not, Mayor Baelish. My apologies.

[ At least until Baelish could solidify an alliance with Padme. Or whoever stepped into the Nonah office. ]

I have other capabilities, you know. That net a higher yield.
