Laidlaw is a Forge Follower. He is ingenious, indefatigable, creative, and unpredictable.
One may engage in a romantic relationship with Laidlaw if he is spoken to and Oriflamme's Auction House is chosen as the subject of discussion. Temptation: Power or any of its forms (ex., Desire: Power) is also required to do so.
Laidlaw is a tinkerer and mechanic with an uncanny knack. [You might be able to recruit this acquaintance as a follower.]

- Invitation description
Laidlaw beams. 'That sounds pretty!'
- Followup description
Laidlaw's eyes shine as I speak. He can't seem to look away. His hands are upon me before either of us quite seem clear how it happened. Just for a moment, the auctioneer falters. We leave together before we attract comment.
- Success description
Laidlaw is ingenious and indefatigable. He likes to bring me little gifts: clockworks, liqueurs, caged amusements.
- Season description
.
We have our patterns. Our visits to the auction house, the flickering films we watch together, the rhythm we know in the night. But he is unpredictable as the sparking of wood in the hearth. When next will he spit embers? When next will his fires cool? I shape myself around his flares. We find, we think, a way. [This might be considered a victory. But the House is no place for lovers.]
