"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."
Petyr? Petyr Baelish? I haven't sent anyone to - !
Did Baelish say I had? [sharply.] Because I wouldn't trust a word from that forked tongue, if I were you. He probably sent whoever it was himself to pin this against me!
...Are you being ambiguous on purpose? I don't know what you're talking about. What has "chemical influence" to do with you thinking I sent someone to attack you?
No, he is not. Have you spoken to anyone recently, anyone new? Or strange? He didn't pull your name out of thin air, he must have met you at some point to accuse you.
Right, we're all from different universes and we've got powers, everyone here is strange. And I don't know, I talk to a lot of people. No one who really stands out, not recently. There was an unpleasant bodyguard of Baelish's, but I've a feeling you'll say it wasn't him.
Well, you know how it is. You find out a bloody dangerous person who already hates you now gets to think you're sending inept spies after him, it can make a person nervous. [he's tired of tiptoeing around his standing with the lord. Lucifer's gone; there's no point anymore.]

You are saying to me that you had not encouraged a man to investigate my relationship with Ambassador Baelish?

[there's a pause. An uncomfortable, anxious one.]
...You believe me, right?
no subject
[But he noted that pause. Spoke nothing of it, yet noted it all the same.]

I feel I've something of a right to know who's accusing me, anyway. Are they in jail?

You know him then.

[he couldn't.]
I assume he's already been told about all this then?
