Video 5 - Sewing Shop

[the video opens on the Sewing Shop, Margaery sitting in front of the camera with her legs crossed neatly at the knee and wearing this. there are three finished items on dress forms in the background and a small stack of bolts of fabric]

Hello, everyone! I wanted to let you know that the Sewing Shop is open for business. Please stop by if you need your garments mended or if you need something new that you can't find in the shops. I know how hard it is to find things that fit properly there.

I'm also available to give sewing lessons should you wish to learn! It's a very useful skill to have, especially here where anything can happen.

[Private to Abigail, Daenerys, and Maglor]

I have something ready for you. Feel free to stop in anytime to pick it up!

[it's not. not really. in her opinion, anyway]

They say that Sorrow knew the most about the Door and how it worked, so I have many questions for him.

「Okay, yep, not what he thought.」

I've heard that too.

「He likes that idea... It also gives him another reason to hurry up with orbs, to give Margaery another chance. He had told himself this so many times, as many times as he's lost sight of it but, maybe, after all, that's why he's here, to help others.」

I've also heard he hasn't been very informative about it.

[what had he thought?

she's heading back out to gather orbs with the elves in a few days. she'd already went with them once and helped bring in a few orbs and she's determined to gather as many orbs as possible in the short amount of time they have]

So have I. But I'm going to get answers, no matter how many times I have to ask.

「Opinions about the so-called gods were diverse, she didn't seem the type to hide her disgust for them either, who knows what she would have planned to get what she wants. He's just glad it's nothing too drastic. She seems, after all, the type of woman who gets what she wants.」

I hope that after all that's happened, he's willing to change his mind about sharing his what he knows.

[it's not just disgust for these gods. after her ordeal with the High Sparrow and the Faith of the Seven, she has little patience with any gods]

You'd certainly think it would. This would be, what, the second time he died? Taking all of his knowledge with him.

I think so, yeah...

「Second time... That's heavy stuff, if he allowed to think about it for too long. He probably shouldn't.」

Hmm... Should I wait for the repair here or would you like me to return later? Oh, also, what would you like for it?

[she thinks about dying all the time. she can't help it, especially now that she knows that the world has moved on without her. there would be no place for her in Westeros, she can't stay here forever, and that means that Matt's world is her only hope]

You can wait here if you don't mind. It won't take long for me to repair it. And usually I ask for a bolt of fabric from Tranquility in return.

I don't mind. I'd actually like to see how you do it. Hmm, what color would you like?

「He supposes he can do that.」

A repair of this kind shouldn't take too terribly long, but it requires precision. And I think I'd like blue. Blue is versatile and a lot of people like that color.

[Tranquility's tasks are a little more tricky than Delight's were, but they're not impossible]

Ah, for sure, I like blue too.

「If his school jacket shows it at all.

Then he goes a little thoughtful.」

Say, Margaery... would would anyone teach a queen to be to sew?

「It doesn't quite match the whole queen picture for him.」

Blue is flattering to almost everyone.

[it does. which she is busily working on.

she laughs brightly] That's because I wasn't taught as a queen. I was taught as a girl. Every young lady of Westeros is expected to be able to embroider and sew garments, either fancy dresses for themselves or clothes for the poor. And like everything I set my mind to, I excelled at the task. Though, it's true, I'd had little opportunity to practice it until I came here.

「He knows, he looks fabulous in blues.」

You're really good at it, and that makes much more sense... What about the boys?

[so does she. oddly enough, green, one of her own House colors makes her look washed out]

I know Sansa is an accomplished sewer as well, but I don't think Daenerys ever had the chance to learn.

The boys are taught the sword and the lance along with battle tactics.

「After the tidbits Daenerys has told him about her life, that statement is a bit sad.

Ah, but of course.」

Should have known.

「It doesn't sound condescending other than well, yeah, he's not sure why he imagined something different.」

[it is sad. Daenerys has had to go through a lot to become the strong young woman she is]

Should have known what?

[about Dany not sewing? about what she said that boys learn?]

That they'd teach boys about war rather than how to sew their garments.

「Why not both...?

Oh, but before she takes offence.」

I guess it wasn't so different back home.

[she chuckles wryly]

That's what their wives, mothers, and sisters are for.

[no offense taken. she may not have been taught the sword, but Olenna Tyrell saw to it that Margaery has at least some idea of battle tactics. more than some idea, actually]

Your women weren't taught to wage war, either?

「That's so not what women are for, in his opinion.」

Not quite, though, we've had Queens along the way, it's almost always men leading the armies or taking care of constructions. The harshest jobs I'd think.

[not in her opinion, either]

The Seven Kingdoms have never had a queen rule by herself. Not even when the firstborn was a girl.

I have the feeling that's about to change.

「It's a shame Margaery might not see it. Nor Atem, but, whatever, it's good.」

[begrudgingly]

Well. It already has changed. After my death my husband, King Tommen, took his own life. His mother, my murderer, seized the Iron Throne for herself. Fortunately, Daenerys is on her way to take it back.

[Margaery won't see it. she's set on going to Matt's world. but she wishes Dany well in her endeavors]

「Oh... right he forgot about the in-law.」

I have faith in her.

「That's all he can do.」

You're still angry... aren't you?

「Yeah he doesn't need to read her mind to notice the tone.」

[Margaery wants Cersei Lannister to burn]

So do I. She has the Dothraki and the Unsullied already along with the support of Yara Greyjoy, Ellaria Sand, and my grandmother. All formidable women. There's no doubt in my mind that Daenerys will succeed.

[it will have to be enough.

she takes a long moment in replying] Yes. Yes, I'm still angry. About so many things.

「Sounds like a lot of support, which is good. Unity and relying of friends and allies is the best Daenerys can do.

Atem keeps his eyes on her, momentarily.」

What would make you let go of that anger?

[Margaery doesn't think much of the Greyjoys or of Dorne, but the reputations of the Dothraki and the Unsullied precede them.

she looks down]

Aside from being able to kill Cersei Lannister with my own hands?
