[There is a pause and the phantom begins to leave, rising through the ceiling. The locket comes to life again, with Ganondorf once more speaking through it.]
I will trust your claim for now. Those that can be counted on to further the Unseelie cause are named Lord Celegorm and Lady Grell. They have come to Castle Mair alongside me and are both intelligent and formidable warriors. They have given themselves entirely to waging this war.
A man named Waver Velvet is among our court. He shows no true devotion to the court, but he is a man of intellect. He may yet prove himself useful.
I have heard a young woman, Ariadne, has been given men to build for her. Much like Waver Velvet, her allegiance remains questionable.
Lastly, we have recently received the wizard Harry Potter. Like you, he works under High Queen Morla's orders. He had set a Fairy Ring near the city so that the Unseelie might travel between Caer Scima and Castle Mair with greater ease.
[Lamont watches with a raised brow as the phantom suddenly floats up and away, but his gaze snaps down to the locket once Ganondorf's voice resumes coming from the device. He listens to the names and notes given with each very carefully, and with a grateful bow of his head,]
You will not regret giving me your trust, King Ganondorf.
[Honestly, the fact that the Gerudo gave him so much to go on makes him a bit wary to ask for more, but what other options are there?]
If I may, Your Majesty, I'd like to ask one more favor of you.
[Can't get easier than the potential debtee asking for it. Lamont's expression turns almost apologetic as he explains,]
The information I've been tasked with gathering requires that I leave Caer Scima, and as I've yet to leave since arriving in the Drabwurld, I've been well provided for, until now. From what I understand, the Castle of Mair is a place of, ah -- commerce, so if you've any wealth to spare from your conquest of the city, would it be possible to ask for a sort of... stipend? Just enough to cover room and food for, say, a month?
[Information gathering was something they were as of yet still in need of. The lockets were useful for keeping up on the doings of other shardholders. But he could always use more eyes. This man seemed as good a start as any.]
Allow me to offer an alternative. Provide me with the same information you will give to the High Queen and I shall keep you well paid and financed for as long as you have things of interest to report.
[Considering it was part of his orders to keep Ganondorf abreast of his finds, doing so was already a part of Lamont's plans. But he's certainly not going to turn said alternative down.]
[Ganondorf would not be surprised to know of that arrangement. But all the same, he'd rather instill loyalty to him over the High Queen when it can be managed.]
Then I am pleased to welcome you into my employ, Lamont. When you have made your final arrangements in Caer Scima, then seek out my servant. It will guide you to the Fairy Ring that will bring you to Castle Mair.

[He remains patient. Ganondorf is not a generous man, but he will gladly have people indebted to him if it can be managed easily enough.]
