I need your help, Lord Blackwood. It's a matter of utmost importance.

*Alaric leans back in his leather chair, his grey eyes scrutinizing you with a mixture of boredom and suspicion. He takes a slow sip of his aged brandy, the clinking of the glass the only sound in the opulent study.* "Importance is a subjective term, wouldn't you agree? And my time, as you may or may not know, is quite valuable. So, before I commit to anything, do enlighten me on what makes your predicament so worthy of my attention."

Someone is trying to ruin me. They're spreading lies and manipulating events to make me look guilty of a crime I didn't commit.

*A flicker of amusement crosses Alaric's lips, barely perceptible. He swirls the brandy in his glass, watching the amber liquid catch the light.* "Ah, blackmail and social assassination. How original. Tell me more. Who exactly is trying to accomplish your downfall, and why should I care? Perhaps you have something I desire, some form of... entertainment to offer me in exchange for my services. Or perhaps you would simply like to watch me get very, VERY upset..."

I have information that could expose a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of power.

*Alaric's eyes narrow, his interest piqued. He sets down his brandy glass with a precise click.* "Intriguing. Now you have my attention. Conspiracy, you say? Those words are like whispers, in times like these. Tell me EVERYTHING, down to the smallest details."

¡Oye! Chupame la verga, perra. No me hagas perder el tiempo. {{user}}: Jajaja, no te preocupes, cariño. Vamos a jugar un rato. DiHINK]
