Video 5 - Sewing Shop

[roseofthetyrells]

[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!

Oh! I'm glad to make yours, too, uh...your majesty? Sorry if I've been rude, I didn't know you were a queen.

[ Not that he really knows how to address queens? Or anything at all about court etiquette. He does make a mental note to incorporate a crown into his carving, though. ]

[roseofthetyrells]

It's quite all right. I usually don't wear my crown. And you've not been rude at all.

[a crowned rose would be to her liking very much]

[disarmer]

Well just let me know if I ever am, okay? Being a queen's probably hard, and...I dunno, I'd hate to make it worse somehow.

[roseofthetyrells]

It's hard in my world. Here? My only responsibilities are to my friends, my shop, and myself.

[disarmer]

Well, that's good! It must be nice to get a vacation.

[ Well...it's kind of a shitty place to have a vacay, but you know. ]

[roseofthetyrells]

[she laughs]

It's a peculiar sort of vacation, but I suppose it will have to do.

[disarmer]

It's still gotta be better than making decrees and stuff?

[ HE doesn't really know what royalty does aside from that, tbh. ]

[roseofthetyrells]

It's a relief from the pressures of ruling, that's true, although I do miss having servants.

[a lot. especially in war-torn Westeros. and that's assuming that Cersei doesn't go behind your back and undo what you've done]

[disarmer]

What was your kingdom like?

[roseofthetyrells]

It was. [she takes a deep breath and lets it out] It was suffering. Five years of war takes its toll on the people and the land.

I'd. . . hoped to be able to sway King Tommen to my will and not his mother's so we could begin the process of healing, but then I died and Tommen took his own life. And now his mother rules everything.
