"I've always been better at hiding in plain sight. You know, if everyone is watching what your right hand is doing, nobody is paying attention to the left. But I'm not here to trick you, just to make an offer," he explained feeling a little pleased. He thought it a little funny that she thought his assumptions were based on Jamie being like his father. "I know he isn't, but he does play the role of dutiful son quite well," he commented with a small smile. "Just one of my many observations, not an assumption." It was always comical in a way, how easily people found speaking to him. It didn't take people much to reveal a lot about their lives and pasts. He in turn gave very little of himself. He listened to her speak and was quietly thoughtful, letting her words turn a few times in his mind before he spoke. "I don't think it is a matter of you being too simple for me, I do think you are a fixer. Would you say that's fair, that your a fixer?"
Reaching the bottom of the stairs he nodded, pulling away to step ahead to hold open the door for Savannah to pass through, before heading outside himself.
"That's true, I don't know if I would commit to all that, it is a lot," he said as he lit a smoke and exhaled slowly. "I'd much rather watch than play but I don't mind filling in until a better option comes along," he offered. "I say give that option to him and see how it all pans out," he suggested. "As for the The Order, they were losing the first war, it wasn't until the end of it, and most of them had died, or been sacrificed that the tide changed. Conceited in some ways, I think more so idealistic and naïve more so."
Still walking he put a bit of distance between themselves and the castle before speaking. "So, Duchess. How would you feel about writing a letter to the Scarlett Letter?" He said tossing the idea her way. "You know she will answer. It will cause a little bit of upheaval, more so my problem than yours. I do think it will be worth it. I know it will yield results."
