LMP raises his half-empty mug and winks back at ST. "Yes, we'll have a talk with the Lady. Ne doubt yee've come to the reet place."

One thing I'll pass on to ye is that jus' b'cause JRRT had a counsellor as the evil bad guy doesn't mean you can't. It depends how you handle him/her. If your story's different enough, I dare say it'll stand on its own. But I feel for your frustration. I ken a wee bit o' wat yer taakin' aboot.
