Video 4 - Sewing Shop

[roseofthetyrells]

[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 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?

[roseofthetyrells]

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?

Private

[am_i_a_monster]

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.

Private

[roseofthetyrells]

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?

Private

[am_i_a_monster]

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.

Private

[roseofthetyrells]

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?

Private

[am_i_a_monster]

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.

Private

[roseofthetyrells]

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.

Private

[am_i_a_monster]

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.

Private

[roseofthetyrells]

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.
