#a'body = anybody AND everybody

They lay comfortably in bed together, and with Bal in his arms there was no other place Mhoirbheinn would rather be. The silence of the night enveloped them as they began to doze off. That was, until Mhoirbheinn spoke up.

“I’m certain I could find you another advisor. Surely he’s not that good. There must exist someone in the world better than him, and more pleasant too. It would be my pleasure to find and present them to you.”

Yes, he was still on about that.

Truly it felt as though peace could only be in the presence of his lover. It all quelled to a din as Balmoral could idly take in the other. The prospect of rest hadn't even felt dreaded. He nearly was lulled towards slumber when Mhoirbheinn spoke.

And instantly he felt sleep drain from him. Balmoral groaned as he shifted so he could better speak to him, "Och aye, but that would require finding a'body that willnae run t' their da from ye. And fir em t' not be a scunner t' ye. And ye convincing em t' come t' the Unseelie."

That alone was a tall order. But knowing his love, he'd at least try if it was a chance. Dragging a hand over his face and hair, Balmoral went on to say, "Ah have no patience t' teach someone aboot the Unseelie and their workings. And the time it'd take fir em t' understand how t' navigate with their own style. If we had someone with intimate knowledge of how a'body plays their games and how t' operate effectively and tirelessly, maybe. But need ah remind you, m'eudail, that most people with that knowledge...we slaughtered. And those with that kind of zeal, we eliminated. So no, we cannae find another adviser."
