[ This is Baelish, coming to you from the Maurtia Falls Ambassador office. Not Baelish coming to you from his casino or Baelish coming to you from his strip club. That makes this professional, right? ]

Greetings, my fellow imPorts. For those of you who do not know me, I am Lord Petyr Baelish, Ambassador for Maurtia Falls. I wished to address you all to talk about a few things, but most importantly this Nonah election. It is of utmost importance that we vote and show support for our fellow candidates. The job of ambassador is an important one, and I believe all of these candidates have qualities that would work to benefit Nonah. It is in your hands to decide who best will fit your city. But I implore you to truly look into who has the policies and qualities you seek. I would be more than happy to illuminate some of those to any imPort who may not have been following the race too closely.

[ And that's all he says on the matter since his good pal Dorian Gray had always harped on him about talking too much in his network posts. ]

Second of all, for those of you who recall the attack in Philadelphia at the ambassadorial celebration -- did any of you happen to return with the remains of one of those monstrosities, whether it be for scientific study or perhaps as a souvenir? I have been curious about what information can be gleaned from them -- especially in relation to the ImProcreats, if anyone still happens to have their little creature from that Swear In for comparison.

[ A beat. ]

And lastly, I understand this day to be a day of gratitude -- a nationwide celebration for families and friends to get together and sit down for a meal. Unfortunately, on this holiday I find myself largely alone and I am certain there are others who are in a similar position. If anyone has need of company, I can provide a place and wine if you can provide a dish of food or two. It does not have to be traditional in terms of what is served, but the important thing is that we are not alone when we could be together.

That is all. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I thank you all for your time and wish you a wonderful holiday.

[That's fair enough reasoning; Chilton can't fault it, obviously. And the implicit distance that Baelish created between himself and Julian, socially, proved to be acceptable to Frederick Chilton.

It wasn't like Petyr thought the bald weirdo was desirable. Platonically.]

You are a Francis Bacon fan?

[Different kind of bacon. But Petyr's own chosen house motto appeared in Chilton's world, too, published in the Meditationes Sacrae and Human Philosophy.]

Francis Bacon? I'm afraid I do not know who that is.

[ But bacon does seem to be the running theme of this conversation. ]

Oh, awkward. Here.

[Chilton swiftly sends over a link to Baelish's own catchphrase.]

Maybe he would be something of your analogue in this world.

[ While perusing this: ]

It's something I've always tended to live by. My own personal philosophy. But I'm glad there are others who live by the very same statement. I appreciate you sharing this with me. Are you a fan?

Marginally so, I suppose. There is certainly nothing to dislike. I find it more interesting how his philosophy relates to your own.

I find it interesting how you find that interesting. Your mind always seems to latch onto comparisons and how they can help define a person more in your perspective. A talent of your craft, no doubt.

Do you find the tendency unappealing?

Fascinating more like it. You have a much different way of thinking and analyzing than most I've come across.

Good thing that I run the hospital in your city then, isn't it? Yet another resource you have acquired, for your citizens.

If only the others would learn from you.

I'm grateful that you decided to join my city and bring your knowledge there. Even if there were to come a day when I port out, I believe Maurtia Falls will continue to prosper by having your expertise there to spearhead the psychological community.

[ This holiday is all about showing the things you're thankful for, right? ]

All testament -- and in your absence, legacy -- to your own name, of course. I wonder how the other Ambassadors might envy that.

Perhaps you could write a book about their envy. Although I doubt any of them would be fascinating enough to catch your interest given you are only interested in unique minds.

You remain my favorite from your world, if that is what we're speaking of.

Oh, no. I was referencing the other ambassadors.

[ And insulting them for not having unique enough minds to interest Chilton. ]

Oh, in that case: my statement remains accurate.

You've always been a man of fine taste.

If only others would realize this truth.

How could they? It takes class to recognize it in others.

I suppose I will have to reluctantly deal with my disappointment in others. [A beat.] Do you feel the same?

Often. One of the most difficult adjustments I've had to make is dealing with how outspoken and disrespectful some of these people can be. We still have people like that back home, of course. But most of the people I interact with in Westeros are of a different make than the imPorts and natives in this world.

It must be an isolating feeling -- between your personal expectation, and the unfolding reality.

It's certainly a disappointment. But I'm adaptable and I'd like to think I can adapt to even this.

You and I understand the importance of that, at least. And -- perhaps a couple other might, as well.

Credit where credit is due.

Credit goes to you as well, my friend. You've done quite well for yourself in this world. A house of your own, a steady girlfriend, a hospital under your authority, and a best selling novel. Your continued adaptability means you likely will only continue to grow and spread your reach.

Will you still be seeing imPort patients in your new hospital or will you only see the criminally insane?

Oh, imPort patients, certainly. I find that they especially require a delicate... Touch.
