Video 4 - Sewing Shop

[the video opens on Margaery sitting in the sewing shop, three half-finished garments behind her. she's smiling, although it doesn't quite meet her eyes. she's still haunted by her loss last month and while being a child was fun, it still doesn't erase her melancholy entirely]

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that the Sewing Shop is again open for business. I've come to a deal with Tranquility to acquire fabric. I'm also available to teach sewing to anyone who wishes to learn.

[she hesitates a moment]

And I wanted to--to apologize to anyone who had to deal with me as a child. I suppose I was rather. . . full of myself back then.

I think young me was confused too, by some of your ideas.

[She hesitates, not wanting to say she doubts she will see Matt again, not with the way Hadriel works. She's forcing herself to let go of the idea that Hannibal will return and create the family he promised her.]

You can find ways to make it less painful.

Young me was confused by some of yours as well. I recognize now that what you were speaking of was technology, but young me had no concept of the idea.

[best to keep those doubts to herself, because Margaery is banking on the idea of making it to Matt's world and finding him again]

I'm trying. Trying to keep busy as best I can.

I think our worlds were very different.

[She switches to a private video.]

There are ways to make memories less painful. Therapy, memory palaces,

[She takes a moment to decide if she should suggest what helped her back with Hannibal.]

and if we could find it here - would you consider drugs?

Yes, Westeros must seem peculiar in comparison with what you know.

[now in private video]

Ah, but Dr. Sweets has taken a rest from providing therapy. I could never trouble him with something so. . . so trivial in comparison.

[she's suspicious of modern medicine] ...what kind of drugs?

It isn't trivial if it's causing you pain. And you can see him after his break.

Psilocybin. That's a type of mushroom. Hannibal used to brew them in a tea for me but I don't know if there are any here.

There was someone here with cannabis.

It does cause me a great deal of pain, but I wonder what he'd be able to do about it.

But it's a natural remedy? Not like the pills they have at the Clinic?

What's cannabis?

I don't know about him, but Hannibal would help by asking me question and guiding me to see things I couldn't before.

It's natural. But don't dismiss the clinic pills. Medicine like that has helped a lot of people.

Cannabis is a plant that can be eaten or smoked. It can make you feel good. more relaxed.

It's a pity he's not still here. He seems like the kind of man I would like to know.

I suppose. It's just, we have no such things in Westeros. It makes it hard to trust that the pills will do as they say.

Where would I obtain it?

Yeah, I really miss him.

Trust can be hard. Maybe if you talked to someone at the clinic, they could explain the medicine to you.

I'm not sure. I don't remember who was offering it.

Perhaps he'll come back? I've heard that happens sometimes.

Especially when there's all of this new technology and new medicines to cope with. Westeros is . . . considerably behind most worlds, it seems.

I don't recall it even being offered.

Maybe. If he can find a way back to me and Will, he will.

People live longer with the new technology and medicines.

It was a while ago, last October I think.

I hope for your sake that he does.

Yes, I think I remember something you said about that while we were children. That people live into their eighties or nineties. The oldest person in Westeros that I know of is Walder Frey. A thoroughly unpleasant man, from what I know of him.

That's a while ago. She may not have any left.
