Staten Island Ferry, Elvish Style! [Video/Action ]
[ Curufin and Margaery Tyrell set sail from the bay of North Island, the same day as he puts the finishing touches on the boat. It is clinker-built (also called lapstrake), which makes the hull flexible, good for sailing turbulent waters. It has a single square-sail (sewn by Margaery), though it also has rowlocks and oars, in the unlikely event of the winds dying. It looks something like this.
It can be crewed by two people, but more would be nice! Give Margaery and Curufin a holler if you want them to come pick you up! Either because you want to come along for the ride and learn something about sailing, or because you need to be ferried to a different island than the one you're on. They'll take you wherever you want to go. Also, call if you want something picked up and delivered to you, or if you just want the sailors to come and visit you. ]
Hello, Hadriel! The ferry's in service.
[ OOC: Either or both Margaery or Curufin will answer! But you can also request one or the other. ]

She knew that Joffrey's cruelty would turn towards me and that his madness would lead the country to ruin.

He sounds truly terrible, and I am so sorry, Margaery, that you had to face that!
video
But I would have faced it. I would have done my best to . . . mitigate the damage. What he would have done to me, I cannot say. But I would have learned to live with it.

[ He sketches her a bow - no mocking here, this is a full, formal, court bow, hand over heart ]
You would have made a very great Queen.

I tried. I did try. It's just--Cersei got the better of me.

You tried. No more can be asked of anyone.

...a friend thinks I should apologize to Sansa and Jon on behalf of my family for not stopping the Lannisters.
video
There is certainly something to be said about the responsibility of a lord or prince to make at least token restitution, but it also rather depends on the situation. Sansa, I think, would have long and long forgiven you - but a public apology between Houses is different to a private one. Was it actually your responsibility to stop them?
Re: video
I would like to think that Sansa has already forgiven me. We were kept separate after the Red Wedding, so I never had the chance to express my sympathies in person. I don't know how Jon would feel about it. [and her voice turns bitter] No, it wasn't my responsibility to stop them. Quite the opposite. It was my responsibility to be pleasing and charming to them.
video
If it was not your responsibility - nor that of your house - it may be that a public apology may do more harm than good. I fear I have yet to meet Jon Snow, although Sansa has spoken of him, so I do not know how he might react. But perhaps, if you felt the guilt weighing on you, a private apology might clear the air.

It's just--it's been years. For all of us. I don't want to remind them of pain.
