I heard you got yelled at.

I reserved a title three weeks ago. Waiting on the lender to return it at their convenience isn't a luxury I can presently afford.
If you would root out the cause of the problem, I would be obliged.
[Is it a request? Or a demand? Who knows! FIND HIS BOOK.]

[it takes a certain amount of willpower on Rincewind's part to answer this text - it certainly doesn't happen immediately. There's pacing, and fretting, and the weighing of pros and cons and dangers and finally, there's him gulping down enough wine to type something back without experiencing heart palpitations.]
I can call them, possibly? Or have another library ship one over, I could do that.
What's the title?

Rincewind? I needs your surname for this employee paperwork. This is official, serious business and I cannot accept simply a first name interaction on such documentation -- that might demonstrate favoritism.
We cannot allow people to know that.

My - ? Oh.
[this is awkward.]
Right, so... I think it possibly is a last name? It's true it could also be a first, though, and I certainly use it as one, but the point is that's... something else they don't have to know? You could sort of put it down for both, sort of thing.

[attached is a mirror selfie of Harley wearing a very expensive lingerie set, that seems to have an impressive support structure for how little of it actually exists. It is, in theory, red lace, but it gives the impression of being flesh colored because it does not actually cover a damn thing.]

[ HEY RINCEWIND, HAVE SOME FUN SPACE FACTS that the Doctor's texting because he cares, not because he's at work and it's really boring today and he doesn't wanna do paperwork, having a job sucks, how can humans stand doing this all day? ]
- Because of its unique tilt, a single night on Uranus lasts for 21 years. Darillium's got it beat though, a night there lasts for 24 years.
- There are approximately 200,000,000,000 stars in the Milky Way.
- That bit about how in space nobody can hear you scream is actually true and not just a movie tagline.
- You become taller in space.
- The Milky Way's a spiral galaxy. However, there's elliptical galaxies and irregular galaxies as well.
- There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches and deserts on Earth.

[ Baelish assumes Rincewind will probably throw it out. He contemplates wasting his time on sending the letter. But there's an off chance he will read it, and it's better to get all of the information out upfront like this. How likely would Rincewind be to listen if Baelish just gave him a phonecall? And so, the message arrives for Rincewind via mockingbird. Sealed closed by a wax mockingbird sigil, the letter is hand-written in careful cursive. ]
Dear Rincewind -
I know we have never been on the best of terms, but I do hope you will take the time to read this. I write to you on behalf of a project I am working on within my city. Construction has already begun on rebuilding a much larger library, but I wish for this to be more than simply a bigger structure. I hope to inspire education and the spread of knowledge to the natives of Maurtia Falls as well as provide an invaluable resource to new arrivals here. But more than that, I wish to use it to pay homage to the natives who lost their lives within Maurtia Falls due to imPort related tragedies. Their names will be honored within the library itself and donations will be set up to be made to the families.
For this project to succeed, I need your help. If you are able to donate anything at all to the cause, it would be most appreciated -- whether that is rare books, money, or simply your time. I believe you would be an excellent candidate to work in the library. And considering that you already work within Maurtia Falls, would it not be more convenient to have a library near Doctor Chilton's office instead of having to go all the way to Nonah? Please do consider. I truly believe this would be a good fit for you.
I thank you for your time, and I do hope to hear back from you soon.
Sincerely,
Ambassador Petyr Baelish

[Rincewind absolutely throws it away. One look at the return address and he's tossed it over his shoulder, fully content to go the rest of his afternoon while cheerfully avoiding whatever surely terrible news is inside that envelope.
The trouble is, sometimes instead of a rubbish bin over a person's shoulder, there's a bloody-minded box on legs. Said box eats the letter, seems to mull its contents over, and eventually, hours later, spews it back up into its master's face.
There's some hemming and hawing from the wizard at this (and a threat of termites which the Luggage nips at his robe for), but this time he sits down to read the damn thing. For the first time. And then a second. ...And then a third, eyebrows up so high they've nearly been lost to the unkempt thatch of his hair.
Baelish wants donations from him? No, no - Baelish wants him to work at his library.
Baelish has a library.
...Right. Bugger letters.]

[luckily, Rincewind is a light sleeper. So the only delay in his reply is that it takes him a moment into his sprint from bed to realize the sound which woke him was only his communicator and not, in fact, an assassin come to kill him.
Although honestly, a bedroom assassin would currently make more sense to him than the words on his screen.]
my pants?
you won't fit my pants
