"Er... yes, okay, I suppose I should tell you that if you're trying to reach me I'm not here, and if you're trying to reach me because you want to do something involving pointy bits of metal or otherwise painful objects, I'm never going to be here. So sorry."
We have alcoholics, certainly. Brigands in particular are quite fond of that foul concoction. But... heavens, you aren't saying that Lord Baelish is among their number, are you? He's such a pleasant man!
[how do you lead a horse to water that has never seen a river?]
It's... a bit different. [patiently.] Bit worse, actually. Perhaps look it up on your device later? - But anyway, I was only thinking perhaps you could get through to him. Preach a bit, maybe. Er. Tell him how great serving the Light is.
[or what...ever it is priestess princesses do. As long as it will annoy the man to no end, Rincewind will be satisfied.]
You would have to be subtle, of course. If you mention me he'll know what you're up to and will refuse your help. But I do think you're one of the only people who could. ...Unless you know some other noble women who might lend their aid?
I think so. But different states. So lived a million miles apart.
It's kinda weird how the Porter, like, usually only pulls in two or three people that know each other. Jeff and me never met until he started trying to seduce my husband.
[Rincewind lifts the hat enough to cast a startled look.]
Oh, gods. Oh, you don't - I'm no good at that! I'm really not! Wizards aren't even allowed to be with women, surely you'd want to rely on someone with more recent experience! I can't very well take out an ad!

Worlds like mine don't get picked that much. Somehow. So you just...start sticking with other people. And animals. Because they're way better.
