I'm not really lookin' to finance ads either. Mostly I figured I'd make a post or two, make it clear I was interested. Let people ask questions from there. And if there's some debate or Q and A like there was for the last one, that'd be somethin' too. But I'm not interested in buttons and posters 'n such. Gonna rely on word of mouth.

[and whatever happens, happens. People could decide for themselves whether they wanted him or not; Sam would have his new business either way. But Baelish had convinced him his services could be useful to the people here, which didn't fail to strike a chord with the community-minded shifter.]

I just thought you'd help me keep track of some of it, point out areas I was lackin' in. But it's all right that you don't want the job, you've done more'n enough for me with helpin' bring Merlotte's together. [a pause.] Even with Six bein' Ported out.

Are you really sure? If you're going to run, you should run to win. Otherwise it's just inviting danger.

Danger?

[jacksonian]

Well...Yeah. An attempt at seizing power that fails makes you look weak. And weakness invites attacks.

[ Mark might have a...slightly skewed point of view on things. ]

There are one or two people who don't like me, but I don't think there's anyone waitin' to attack me.

[Sam's getting that.]

[ He shakes his head. ]

For now. Yeah. But as soon as you make it clear that you want power, you turn into either a potential threat or a potential tool to the people around you. Depending on how competent you seem.

...I think you might be worryin' a little too much, but I'll try and take that to heart.

In any case, I'll send over the paperwork on the building I found. And I hope I've got your support, even if you wont' help me run.

voice;

[jacksonian]

Yeah.

[ A hesitation, and then, a bit gruffly - ]

And if I'm not just worrying too much - remember that, uh, your business is an investment for me. And I protect my investments.

[...he can sort of tell that's meant to be something friendly. He thinks.]

Well... thanks. I appreciate that. You take care, now.
