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.

Comments

[roseofthetyrells]

I would like that very much. Thank you.

As do I. But there shall be no prayers to the gods of this place. I do not think they listen.

[bythewaves]

I am very certain they do not. [ He says wryly ]

Not unless it suits their purposes.

[roseofthetyrells]

No, indeed. If it would torment me somehow, I'm sure that Loras would already be here. But it wouldn't be a torment, it would be a blessing and so he is not.

[bythewaves]

Even so. [ Maglor sighs softly ]

All they care about is that they are fed, never minding the pain it inflicts us with.

[roseofthetyrells]

Indeed. And I for one am thoroughly sick of being subject to their whims, but apparently they aren't finished with me yet.

[bythewaves]

I doubt they are finished with any of us!

[ He shrugs ]

Starvation is a hard way to go. [ He says with terrible, soft knowing ] I cannot blame them for their desperation, only their unwillingness to look beyond themselves. There are many who would have freely given, if they had only asked.

[roseofthetyrells]

[she hears the knowing in his voice and gives him a squeeze] ...I suppose I would have been willing, had I been asked. Otherwise, all I had to look forward to was death and I am--rather pleased to be alive.

[bythewaves]

[ he smiles faintly back at her in thanks ]

As would I. But they did not ask, and cannot seem to comprehend why they should.

[roseofthetyrells]

[she tries to smile back] No, they do not. If only they had! All of the pain and strife that could have been avoided. . . [she sighs]

[bythewaves]

Aye. Fools they are, and I pity them, although I like them not!

[roseofthetyrells]

[she smiles against his chest] Yes, they are fools and I don't like them, either. There are things I'm grateful to them for, though.

[bythewaves]

Like the fact that you are alive? [ He teases wryly ]

I am glad for that too.

[roseofthetyrells]

Well, yes, there's that. But I'm also glad that you're not alone.

[bythewaves]

[ He blinks at her and then laughs softly ]

I think I'm flattered. Thank you, Margaery!

[roseofthetyrells]

[she smiles tenderly at him]

You're welcome. And you shouldn't be alone. Would that I could divide myself in two somehow.

[bythewaves]

[ He smiles shyly back ]

I am not here!

[roseofthetyrells]

[she blushes faintly]

No, you're not here. You never will be here.

[bythewaves]

[ He lifts her hand to kiss it gratefully ]

Thank you, Margaery.

[roseofthetyrells]

[she blushes at the kiss and smiles fondly]

There's never a need to thank me for that.

[bythewaves]

No need, perhaps, but I wish it - for you should know how great a kindness you have done, and how gentle a balm to this old heart.

[roseofthetyrells]

[she flushes a little and smiles gently at him]

It was all the least I could do after how very kind you have been to me

[bythewaves]

I return kindness for kindness! Your heart draws many to you, Margaery.

[roseofthetyrells]

Before, it would've been said that my beauty drew many to me.

[bythewaves]

[ He chuckles ]

Beauty is more than face and form! Although I agree that sadly it does tend to be the first thing that most folk pay attention to.

[roseofthetyrells]

Yes, it is. And I used it like a weapon back in Westeros. I. . . haven't had to do that here.
