"Yes, very nice speech, Cass, but this isn't the time or place for noble sentiments. In fact, it's not even the problem, is it? The problem is finding someone who isn't related to me or considered too close to my family or too close to you, or anyone you haven't had sex with, which makes whether or not you had sex with Savage very relevant. Considering the size of my family and your... enjoyment of sex, it makes the job difficult," Percy replied, because he wouldn't let Cass drag him into a discussion about their personal lives.
"As I said, I'll have to speak with McLaggen and see if he's comfortable with the assignment." Hopefully he would be and Cass was right and no one would know about them. He was counting on the fact that McLaggen couldn't be out in the field just yet and this would give him an excuse to do something other than paperwork.
