hadriel | Video 7 - Sewing Shop

[the video opens on Margaery in the Sewing Shop, dressed of course to impress and show off her work. what is unusual is that she's holding a sword in her lap and that the Shop looks like it's been scrubbed from ceiling to floor and everything in between.

what may also be unusal to those who can notice such things, there have been magical wards placed around the Shop to deter violence and keep certain types of beings out.

Margaery smiles welcomingly at the camera, although those who know her well enough can tell that it's a little forced]

Hello, everyone! The Sewing Shop is open again to attend to your needs. Can you not find what you're looking for in the shops? Or are you just plain sick of wearing the same things day in, day out? Come in and request whatever you need. The only payment I require is a bolt of fabric from Tranquility.

I also give sewing lessons to those who wish to learn.

[to Washington and Kelson]

I have what you requested ready for you to pick up at any time. I hope to see you soon.

I hope you have a chance for many more! I certainly think you deserve it.

[she smiles a little sadly]

I mostly meant more outside of this place. But I wouldn't mind more friends.

That, too, I hope you get! At least here there is a little exploring.

Precious little. [she sighs] I can't help feeling--restless.

Because we are trapped. [ He nods, understanding ]

Still... we can at least travel a little here. We could go out again, if you wanted?

We are indeed.

I think I would like that. Where should we go?

Why do we have to pick somewhere in particular? [ He grins back ]

We could just... wander. There is something to be said about having no particular destination!

I've never just wandered before. What's it like?

Occasionally very boring. [ Maglor says wryly ]

But... in some ways, there's a freedom to it, too. In knowing you don't have to be anywhere and are free to stop or go or explore at your whim.

Then I'll have to provide you with witty conversation to alleviate the boredom. [she says loftily]

So if I find a particularly pretty flower, I can stop and admire it for as long as I please.

I am sure you will be our salvation in this matter!

[ he agrees with a laugh ]

And even so - although hopefully not for several days!

Thank you for your confidence in me. [she says, overly gracious]

No, of course not for several days. I'd need to sleep eventually, no matter how pretty the flower is.

But, [ He reasons, eyes dancing ]

Say it was a particularly lovely flower, and further, in a field of similar flowers. Might it then not take several days, especially with breaks?

I'd say so, yes. Longer if I attempted to draw them. I haven't tried such a thing in years, so it would likely take me a while to get it right.

Then clearly we should budget adequate time for prolonged flower contemplation!

Add time if it's a rose. Do you know, I've not seen a single rose since I arrived here?

You know, I never even thought of it, until you mentioned it. But you're right - we are rather lacking in most flowers here, and not a single rose...

[she considers]

I suppose I could always go to the so-called gods and ask for rosebushes, but I wouldn't begin to know how to tend them

[ Maglor makes a face ]

I do know how to look after them - mother was fond of roses. But I wouldn't want to be indebted to them for something non-essential. We could always see if we could find wild plants that might be cultivatable?

Where would we look? There are only so many places. And. . . this is going to sound foolish, but I have an especial fondness for golden yellow roses. The sigil of House Tyrell.

Anywhere and everywhere! But I suppose, we would be best looking near water and trees.

Seems likely enough. After all, plants need water to grow, as would flowers. I only hope that we find some. This place is so bleak.

Even so. [ He sighs ] Well, all we can do is try!

And try. And continue to try. We can't let this place get to us.

One day at a time. [ He agrees ] It does help to have others to stand with.
