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.

That's the point. [If they're looking at the legs they're not watching her steal from them, or anything else she needs to accomplish.]

You were queen and now you're just sewing for people? Don't you hate that?

Oh. [she lifts the skirts of her dress up slightly and stares down at her legs, then lets the dress drop down again.

well, she didn't hate it until now, thank you] I--well, we all have to make do with what we can, under these circumstances.

[Sorry, Margaery.]

I guess. It's a chance for a new start if you want one.

Yes. Yes, it is. This place is no place for queens.

It's not really a place for many people. [Even though she's been here for so long, sometimes the itch to be home is unavoidable.]

No, I suppose not. Although, I know people who want to stay. [Margaery would never be one of those people]

They have good reasons. [Jo manages not to say we. Honestly, there's still nothing for her back home except Heaven.

Heaven is good, she'd never really complain about it, but Hadriel is kind of nice.]

Yes. I know that--that many people are also dead in their world and don't have the hope of going to another. [when Margaery died, all she found was a void. nothingness. she's not going back to that.

Hadriel will do for the time being, but she's set on going to Matt's world by any means necessary]

Yeah. [Heaven is, well, heaven, but that doesn't mean Jo's exactly raring to go back.

She didn't plan to die in Carthage. She had dreams. Even if she can't accomplish all of them here, she's gonna keep trying.]

I can't imagine staying here forever, though.

[Margaery had dreams, too. most of them came true before she died. she'd reached the pinnacle, she was queen. but despite all of her supposed power, no one listened to her when it mattered most and now they're all dead.]

No, I wouldn't want to stay here forever either.

Then, what is your Earth like? I assume it's Earth.

Yeah, it's Earth. [She lets out a slow breath to stall for a moment.]

I don't know how to explain it. There's this level of technology.

Oh, so you have things like electricity, running water, phones, those sorts of things?

Yeah, and cars. [Which...]

They're like the mopeds, but bigger and a little safer.

Matt told me about cars! He said that with a car, you can go hundreds of miles in a single day. [she laughs a little] Or get stuck in New York City traffic for hours.

[A laugh.]

Yeah, traffic sucks.

I know a little something about traffic, although it was from riding a horse or in a litter, not in a car. It does indeed "suck."

At least traffic jams don't happen here.

No, it's much too small of a town for that. Thankfully. After King's Landing, it's a relief.

I prefer small towns anyway. [Even if she's used to just driving through them.]

Oh? What was it like in your hometown on Earth?

Small. Quiet. [She smiles fondly, her voice soft.]

If you blinked you'd probably miss most of it.

[her voice turns reminiscent] I can't imagine something like that. Highgarden was always full of family. The village nearby had merchants, inns, alehouses.

Is Highgarden where you grew up?
