I know that there have been deep concerns raised about the state of the work done by the Ambassadors. I urge you to, if you have questions, concerns, or any other matter that you suspect we may be able to assist you with, to contact us.

My office is always open to petitioners, and I am more than pleased to speak to the populace on any matter.

I thank you, especially those of De Chima, for your constancy and your support, and I urge you to contact me if you require assistance for any issue, great or small.

Baelish is planning something. First the library and now the pictures of him around the city.

His ambitions aren't limited to being an ambassador.

We might want to consider doing more good works with the city. Not a library, but something? If we're not careful, he might try to spread his influence to De Chima.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Honestly, I thought this sort of thing goes without saying.

[illuminescent]

I do not think it wise to speak of such things if we are not together.

[illuminescent]

I should hope it does, and yet I say it in the case some need encouragement.

[song_of_ice]

Then where are you?

[illuminescent]

Home. In my office.

[Thank the gods he was at the farmhouse. It was only a short walk to her home. As usual, he strides inside without bothering to knock at the door.]

I didn't think you would be here. I thought you would be working.

[illuminescent]

But I am working.

[The dogs, as usual, bark and come up to greet him, and Lucy stands up from where she's looking over papers.]

I have a great deal of work to do here. And you? I did not pull you away from something critical?

Wise words, your Majesty. The communication of concerns to representatives is vital to a democracy, after all.

I don't believe I have had the honour of speaking with you before, although I have certainly followed the fine work you have done for De Chima. I am Count Dooku.

[illuminescent]

Ah, of course. It is a pleasure, Count. And I thank you muchly for your commendation on my work, sir.

[song_of_ice]

[He knelt to greet each of the dogs properly.]

Better that it's here you are working.

[He stooped to give her a kiss.]

No. I was...there have been things on my mind. I was home alone.

[dendarii]

Apparently so. I'm really not sure why my came up, for example.

I kind of miss living in a country where the most controversial political thing was whether aliens should be offered amnesty.

( She sighs, shaking her head. It's been a weird two months here. )

I appreciate how direct you are about that, ma'am. I've heard of a lot of things it's probably not a good idea to talk about in public.

But if you saw that anonymous broadcast from a little while ago, that's what I'm referring to.

[illuminescent]

[And he gets one back, but she's heading into the kitchen, smoothly.]

Anything I should know of?

Would you like something to eat?

[illuminescent]

Oh, I cannot say. I find you quite easy to speak to.

[illuminescent]

Should you like to speak more privately, then?

Ah-

Well. There are always those who do not agree so readily with us.

[song_of_ice]

My father wants to legitimize me.

[It still feels so surreal to say aloud.]

I turned him down.

[ex_clobbers559]

That would be a good idea for both of us, I think. Yeah.

( She heaves a sigh, twirling a lock of hair about her index finger. )

I'm predisposed to be wary of messages like those for reasons of my own. Did you want to meet? I can get pretty much anywhere in a jiffy.

[rathercommon]

[ With a bit of irritation: ]

Honestly, it oughtn't even need to be said. Don't mistake me, I'll never fault people for speaking truth to power, but there's something to be said for someone speaking truth to power. Rather than muttering angrily to unrelated people.

[illuminescent]

But why would you?

[illuminescent]

I can be in my office in De Chima in no more than fifteen minutes, and would gladly meet you there.

[illuminescent]

Oh, yes, I do agree. You see, I feel as though what is said to me, without hesitation, most clearly, allows me better to determine what the people wish.

But I know, too, that some people do not know that they can always come find us. That we work for them.

[song_of_ice]

I don't know.

[He made objections and they seemed good at the time, but now? He wasn't sure about his convictions anymore.]

I feel ashamed.

[ex_clobbers559]

I can be there in around the same time, if you text me the address.

( She doesn't say how, though there is a bit of an impish light in her eyes. )

Thank you, by the way.

[illuminescent]

What should fill you with such shame?

[She looks puzzled, then.]

Oh, Jon Snow.

[She takes his hands, presses her mouth against them, sweetly.]

You are so unhappy. I do not wish to see you so. Tell me how I may sweeten your mood.
