Video 3 - Margaery's Apartment
[The video opens not in the Sewing Shop but in Margaery's apartment where she's sitting in the middle of her bed, a pillow clasped in her arms. she's looking down from the camera and she's in a bathrobe and nightgown, both wrinkled. her hair is disheveled and her eyes are heavily rimmed with red, as though she's spent a long time crying. which she has been. a whole day and night and a new day of crying.
she tries to look up at the camera, clear her throat and speak, but the words don't come. fresh tears well in her eyes and she looks down again, biting her lower lip.
a long moment passes with nothing but Margaery fighting back tears and silent. finally, she looks back up at the camera and speaks]
I--I thought people may want to know that Matt Murdock is no longer among us. His. His help was invaluable in the time before the Null invasion and [her voice breaks] he will be missed greatly.
[she brushes a tear off of her cheek, looking down again. she forces herself to look back up and continues]
I need to apologize to those I promised garments to. I. It will be at least another month before they're finished. I'm--I'm sorry.

[tears well up and she looks down] Wounded. Yes, that's a good word for it.
[she chews on her lower lip] So I'll never feel whole again?
no subject
Not... entirely. [ He says slowly ] But... like any wound, it... scabs over. Eventually, you will barely notice it, unless something stirs the scar. And then it will hurt again, but the hurt will be... blunted. You will be able to think I miss him, and the pain of it will be blended with the joy of having had him, for that brief shining moment. You... go on. Because in living, you hold that memory alive.

He does. As do you. [ He makes a face at the mention of political marriages - although he understands the usefullness of them, it is not something that Elves do - but he says nothing ]
They say it is better to have loved and lost, but to love is to open oneself up for pain, and the loss I would not wish on any.
no subject
I was to go to his world. I still aim to. I know enough about him and his world that I think I can do it.
no subject
[ He murmurs ]
But time will come when you look back and say "he was the best thing I ever had, and I do not regret the meeting, despite the pain of parting."
[ He nods ]
In that endeavour, lady, I wish you good fortune - as the Eagles would say, May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks - love may accomplish great things, and I think if you truly wish it, you will, indeed, find a way.
no subject
[she looks down and bites her lower lip]
I do truly wish it. I've never wanted anything more. I'd rather be a commoner in his world than a queen in my own.
no subject
[ he reaches over to touch her arm in sympathy ]
It takes time, but it will.
[ he smiles at that ]
You speak wisdom that more could stand to learn. May your faith not be in vain.
no subject
[she tries to smile back, but it's far from her usual sparkling smiles, which she's well aware of. that knowledge brings fresh tears to her eyes]
It won't be. I'll do whatever it takes, ask anyone I need to ask, as long as it means that we're together in the end.
no subject
[ He says wryly ]
What aid I can give lady, you need but ask. [ He promises ] For such love ought to be rewarded.
no subject
I--I know I'll need someone to talk to. If you don't mind...?
no subject
My lady need but ask. [ He promises again ] I am honored to be someone you can trust in that way.
no subject
You have proven yourself to be truly kind. Such a thing is a rarity, at least in my experience.
no subject
I too have known the grief of loss. I know... how hard loneliness is. I would not see it in another, if I can ease it, even a little.
no subject
You've lost the one you love, too?
no subject
A long time ago.
no subject
I'm so sorry. Would you want to--to talk about it?
no subject
Thank you for the offer but... it is a very painful tale. And not one ... terribly flattering.

[ He shrugs and smiles at her. ]
There is not rush, with things like this.
no subject
[she tries to smile back, but it's tremulous]
I suppose. I have my duties at the Sewing Shop, but surely none would begrudge me a month or so to. To try and get used to life alone.
no subject
[ He answers sadly ]
But the pain will ease, at least, I can promise you that much. And I sincerely doubt any would mind.
no subject
[said with an air of mixed determination and desperation]
Right now, part of me hopes that it doesn't. I feel like if I let the pain fade, I'll let the love fade along with it.
