Y'know, that's interesting. In the past I'd always read that exchange as Baritt being lecherous and sardonic at the same time. I'd never really caught on to the fact that he recognized her name. If he knew that Pathfinder was attempting to find Aliera, then it would indeed be "droll" to encounter her as he did. Even his request "Don't visit me, I don't think my heart could take it" looks more like "Don't come anywhere near where my Great Weapon might find you." But then Vlad says "and he did actually seem to be sorry, too", which doesn't really jibe with someone who would have been deliberately hiding Pathfinder from the object of its desire. Curioser and curioser.
