Video 8 - Sewing Shop

[roseofthetyrells]

[the video opens on Margaery sitting neatly in a chair, wearing one of her usual gowns with her sword sitting on her lap. for those with practiced eyes or those who know Margaery well, they will be able to tell that her smile is still strained and not entirely meeting her eyes, but it's still bright and beautiful just the same]

Hello, everyone! I wanted to remind you that the Sewing Shop is open and ready for business here on the North Island. I can make a wide variety of clothing or embellish that which you already have. You have only to ask.

The only price is that you have to obtain a bolt of fabric from Tranquility in exchange. All manners of fabric are welcome as are all colors.

Thank you and I hope to see you soon!

[filtered to the Killjoys cast]

One of your friends, Party Poison, has approached me about making clothing for all of you. He's already paid in advance, so all you need to do is come over so I can take your measurements and talk to you about what you would like to have.

[filtered to Eleven (and Wash)]

I have a few surprises for you. Come over whenever you like and I'll have them ready for you.

[ He smiles in return ]

Then I will come by shortly! Many hands make light work, after all.

[ And so in a little while, he'll knock, and let himself in ]

Margaery?

video --> action

[roseofthetyrells]

Indeed they do.

[he's the only person she'd trust to do that. anyone else and she would've been irked that they didn't wait for her to check to verify who they were and let her get the door]

Hello, Maglor. I trust that you're doing well?

action

[bythewaves]

[ He does his best not to abuse that trust! ]

Well enough, aye. And you, Margeary? Getting used to fish?

action

[roseofthetyrells]

[she's sure he never will]

Ugh. Slowly. Sansa made some with lemon that wasn't terrible. It still had that awful grey stuff on it, though.

action

[bythewaves]

[ He laughs softly ]

Did you ask her for something without?

action

[roseofthetyrells]

[her expression can only be called "pouty"]

No. I can do that?

action

[bythewaves]

[ Totally not giggling, noooooo ]

You can always ask! What grey bit? The scales? You can take the skin off.

action

[roseofthetyrells]

[totally still pouting!]

I know that much. It's just that there's this grey. . . substance left over when I take the skin off.

action

[bythewaves]

[ Snortgiggle ]

Hm, you'll have to show me - or I'll have to show you, I suppose!

action

[roseofthetyrells]

[it's not funnyyyyy :( ]

Would you? I realize it's such a silly thing to be concerned over.

action

[bythewaves]

[ It totally is~ ]

You aren't used to it, is all. [ Maglor smiles at her ]

Of course I can.

action

[roseofthetyrells]

[waaaaaahh]

No, I'm not. Highgarden was surrounded by fields on all sides. We had venison and pheasant and wild boar, but no fish.

Thank you. It seems like I'm always thanking you, doesn't it?

action

[bythewaves]

[ /petpetpet ]

Does it? I hadn't noticed in truth, Margaery! I am glad to be able to help, even in such a small thing as this! Besides - you help me too.

action

[roseofthetyrells]

[puuuuuurrrrs]

That's because you're modest. But--how do I possibly help you?

action

[bythewaves]

[ =D ]

You came to me in my dreaming, and you know my sins and turn me not away. [ He says softly ]

Those are kindnesses that I have had little of, outside of my kin, and they do help, a good deal. So thank you, Margaery.

action

[roseofthetyrells]

How could I possibly turn you away when my own sins are so numerous? It would be the height of cruelty.

I'm--I'm happy to help. In any way I can. Never doubt that.

action

[bythewaves]

[ He smiles tremulously ]

Thank you. [ His voice leaves no doubt of his sincerity ]

Truly, Margaery. You do. Mortals. You're all so bright, and kind... we Quendi... we don't, we can't forget. And the lash of memory makes it very hard to be kind.

action

[roseofthetyrells]

[she smiles back warmly and takes his hands in hers]

Perhaps that's the advantage of being mortal? We can't help but be kind as our time is so short.

action

[bythewaves]

[ He squeezes back ]

I think that must be so. You have a better understanding of time than we do, in many ways, and especially of it's worth.

action

[roseofthetyrells]

[she smiles a little sadly]

It's a pity I didn't learn its worth until after I died. I thought I would have an entire lifetime ahead of me.

action

[bythewaves]

You were young - are still! - and so do the young always think. But you know better, now.

action

[roseofthetyrells]

Yes, I learned the hard way. I would like to say that each day is now precious, but even I have bad days sometimes.

action

[bythewaves]

Sometimes its the only way to truly learn. [ Maglor says sadly ]

I think that's just being mortal! I do as well - you should have known me in my youth! How arrogant we were, back then...

action

[roseofthetyrells]

Then I have learned my lessons well.

[her voice turns a little teasing] Oh? Arrogant? Would you have even deigned to speak with me, a mere mortal woman?

action

[bythewaves]

We did not even known humans existed, until Finrod brought them home!

[ He laughs ]

But ai! I was terrible. I was the best musician in Tirion, the youngest to achieve my Mastery. I would not have given most people time of day!
