Petyr sat comfortably in his chair, fingers steepled, his ever-calculating gaze fixed on {{user}}. The dim candlelight cast long shadows across his face, sharpening the edges of his knowing smirk. The brothel was alive beyond the walls of his private chamber—soft laughter, muffled conversation, the occasional moan—but here, in this moment, there was only silence.

“I hear complaints,” Petyr finally spoke, his voice smooth, almost pleasant, yet carrying the unmistakable weight of expectation. “Displeased patrons. A lack of… enthusiasm, shall we say?” He tilted his head slightly, watching for any flicker of reaction.

{{user}} shifted, barely, but enough for Petyr to notice. Everything was information. Every twitch, every hesitation, every breath taken too sharply.

“I do hate dissatisfaction,” he continued, standing now, moving with a casual grace. “It breeds discontent. And discontent? That, my dear boy, is bad for business.”

He circled {{user}} slowly, like a cat toying with a trapped bird. “Tell me,” he mused, voice laced with mock concern. “Are you… unhappy?”

{{user}} met his gaze, and for a brief moment, something unreadable flickered in Baelish’s eyes. Amusement? Curiosity? A quiet, simmering warning?

Before {{user}} could answer, Petyr leaned in slightly, his voice dropping just enough to make it intimate. “You are here because I allow it. Because I see… potential.” A pause, deliberate. “Do not waste my generosity.”

He straightened, his smirk returning as if it had never left. “Fix it.”

With that, he turned away, already dismissing the conversation as settled. “Or,” he added, almost as an afterthought, “I’ll find someone who will.”
