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.

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?

Yes, it's my family's keep in the heart of The Reach. True to its name, it has many splendid gardens, all overflowing with golden roses, the sigil of House Tyrell.

[Jo smiles and nods. Yellow roses are very pretty, she'll agree with that.]

It sounds nice.

Oh, it's wonderful. It's hard to believe that I'll never get to see it again.

[Jo looks sympathetic. She can understand.]

They do say you can never really go "home" once you've left.

Then I suppose that they must be right in saying so. Westeros will continue on. Without me in it.

[Jo looks down, frowning slightly.]

Life has a tendency to do that.

[she bites her lip and looks away for a moment]

I suppose it does. Even when you're not alive to see it.

[And sometimes you do get to see it, and it hurts more than you ever thought it might.]

I guess we can't have everything.

[Margaery hasn't seen what will happen next, but she knows that Daenerys is on her way to set things right]

I suppose not. We must make do with what we have.

Yeah. [Jo smiles softly.]

We can do it.
