"I would have thought that the man who finally brought Gaedrann Lamm to justice wouldn't have balked at the opportunity to remove a man like Swastel from power - a man, I might point out, that likes to kidnap innocent people and kill and torture them for the entertainment of his pet mob. Still, he is a minor problem in the long run." He swirls his glass and looks over the rim at Mhairi."Now, the Grey Maidens that you mention, on the other hand. All they care about at the moment is keeping Old Korvosa bottled up and eating itself from the inside. For now. But who would you rather have looking after the Isle's interests if they should come knocking? A mad sadist, or an ancient noble house?"Before anyone can answer he holds up his free hand and gives an apologetic smile."I hope we are all friends here," he says. "I'm not deliberately being difficult about Orisini, but the situation is a trifle complicated and for me to help you, well, it could cause me a lot of trouble that I don't want. So all I'm asking is for a little demonstration of good faith from you. I'd like to think we can build a good working relationship."</blockquote>
