No. I developed a proposal for Rutyer, which he is in full support of.
[It's vital that point be clear even before she begins to unwrap the jam packed folio, its various mismatched contents - wrinkled old receipts contrasting sharply with heavy, official looking documents - rapidly unspooling across the desk. Salvio's afternoon work is rearranged accordingly to accommodate it all.]
I have inherited a bit of Hightown property. It is all evidently perfectly legitimate, as you can see here in this sealed statement and here, in this copy of the initial filing documents. That said, I have very little personal use for a mansion in Kirkwall. I suggested to the Ambassador that it might be donated - metaphorically speaking; unfortunately it has been stipulated by a host of clerks and my solicitor agrees that if I were to attempt to divest myself of any bit of the property or its contents that the sum would default to the city - that it might be borrowed by Riftwatch for the purpose of hosting guests and special events and so on and so forth. Personally, I would have a great interest in having scholars and lecturers use it as a place where they might speak. There is a wall that might be taken out to elongate the parlor into a proper hall. Mr. Stark and I have already decided it isn't structurally vital.
All of this would be infinitely more possible, of course, with just a little financial assistance from Riftwatch. There are fees, you see. To the Viscount's office and a half dozen lower magistrates and the like, and some minor material costs for the renovation— In any case [she says, producing at last a carefully earmarked ledger] Ambassador Rutyer said you are to review and approve the expense.
