Is this really about the money? Or the control? That I can be an undefined variable. I thought you liked a little chaos, Petyr.

[baetiful]

Are you truly trying to masquerade carelessness as chaos?

[slightlyoffchilt]

You would punish me with humiliation. I think the comparison is not untoward.

[baetiful]

And you do not believe it was a humiliation, the things you told Sam about me?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Not your humiliation, no. Just that of your pet dog's.

[baetiful]

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.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I regret any personal pain such statements might have caused you, but I am not your pet to leash. You are a mayor here, not a lord.

[baetiful]

I am the mayor of a city where your hospital resides. Are you really going to make an enemy of me, Dr. Chilton?

[slightlyoffchilt]

[He doesn't reply immediately -- his silence is cold, and panicked.]

Of course not, Mayor Baelish. My apologies.

[baetiful]

A wise decision.

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.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You see now, I'm sure, how Merlotte is a problem. For me.

[baetiful]

A problem you will have to navigate. With the exportation of Miles and a potential new ambassador on the way, Ambassador Merlotte is vital.

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

[slightlyoffchilt]

I am relieved to find you so understanding.

[He even managed to say that without gritted teeth!]

[baetiful]

[ 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.

[slightlyoffchilt]

[His two naughty sons.]

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

[Pacified at Baelish's words, Chilton now turned to his imPort abilities to appease.]

[baetiful]

Capabilities other than the ones I already know?

[ The sedation as well as Chilton's vast medical knowledge. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

My imPort powers are more useful to you.

[He presses.]

[baetiful]

In certain circumstances, yes. But I do not have a pressing need for them in the most immediate future. Not as pressing as the fundraiser at my dear Haen's Endeavor Center.

[slightlyoffchilt]

And I know how dear the timing must be fore you. Needing to set a good impression... Especially now, what with the new Ambassador. She is all settled in, I believe.

[baetiful]

It is often true of this world that people do not recognize your accomplishments unless they are shoved right in their faces. A building, something for the children to do, something that involves the community in things other than murder -- well, all of those will be noticed far before the policies I make. It's the simplest way to make a good impression.

Putting your face out there would also be excellent publicity, you know. You are a desirable man in this world, Dr. Chilton.

[slightlyoffchilt]

And so you have... Other things. In mind for me.

[It dawned on him that Baelish's debt was a long term plan, one that did not necessarily rely upon the amount owed. He had Chilton cornered, he could do anything he wanted now.]

[baetiful]

Does such a prospect frighten you?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Somewhat. It is always hard to tell, with you, what may come.

[baetiful]

Well, I certainly prefer to keep you on your toes. You are at your best when your mind is racing with possibilities.

[ The unexpected drugging in Maine came to mind! ]

But rest assured, I will be in touch, my friend. For now, I do hope to see you actively participating in the date auction.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, you will see something, no doubt. Until then.
