[X] Plan Goldfish & Crake, may the Heavens tremble before them!
-[X] "Ah, yes, I understand. The lack of an obvious hierarchy must seem nearly as strange to you as the workings of magic. In truth, I have no desire to cement my household into a rigidly structured organization, but it is a concern I have often thought upon in recent months. On the matter of Leila, however, I have merely been waiting for the proper time to make the announcement. As you've already seen, we are often forced to rush from one problem to another, with little time left in between for less pressing issues."
-[X] "I do not mean to sound dismissive, Mother, I actually thank you for reminding me. In truth, abandonment of all formality just isn't tenable, not with the scale of my ambitions, but facilitating a court the like of which we've known in Westeros, or even in the lands of the East? Where nobles may scheme and indulge in petty politicking and backstabbing in organized fashion, may hide behind their words and trade barbs rather than accomplish what is expected of them? Perhaps impossible to eliminate in entirety, but I see no reason to encourage this behavior in the manner to which they are accustomed to. Do you honestly miss Father's court?" You shake your head. "I barely remember that time, but of what I can the niceties and falseness behind every smile and empty flattery... what use were they to us?"
-[X] This evening, after the smelter is up and running, Viserys and Lya will arrange an informal meeting with Leila. Apologize to her for delaying this for so long. Explain to her how much we value her efforts and how important they have been to Sorcerer's Deep. She has more than earned this.
--[X] Inform her that she will receive an annual salary of 600 IM, with an additional commission of 5% on anything she crafts for us. She will be given the official title of Artificer and legitimized under any surname she finds acceptable. Depending on her preferences, we can make an announcement of her elevation to our subjects or be more discrete and simply allow others to learn of her change in fortunes more organically.
