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.

[she squeezes back]

As am I. I'm glad that I don't have to anymore. Things will probably change to a degree once I'm on Earth, but while I'm here I can be me.

[bythewaves]

Hopefully not too much. [ Maglor agrees ]

Matt seemed an eminently sensible sort, but one cannot trust that everyone will be that sensible.

[roseofthetyrells]

With Matt and his friends, I'll be able to be myself. Among others, I'll likely have to wear some sort of mask. [literally a mask. she's joining Matt in the business of vigilante-ing]

[bythewaves]

Who can tell? I hope Matt is a good representation of his people, but who knows?

[roseofthetyrells]

I happen to think him extraordinary, but I admit I am a touch biased.

[bythewaves]

[ He laughs ]

Just a little. [ He agrees merrily ] But I will not deny he is a very good Man.

[roseofthetyrells]

He is, isn't he? I have a feeling that such people are rare, no matter where you go.

[bythewaves]

I would have to agree. [ Maglor nods ]

I've been fortunate to know - and be related to! - many of the Great of my own world, but they are precious few, at times.

[roseofthetyrells]

They are. The only few people worth knowing in Westeros were Sansa, my brother, and my grandmother. Everyone else was some degree of horrible or another.

[bythewaves]

That... is a very sad indictment of your world, Margaery. [ He frowns sadly ]

I am sorry. I wish I could do something to help, but it feels a little... 'too little too late'

[roseofthetyrells]

I'm sure there were other good people in the world. They simply--weren't to be found in King's Landing. [she smiles sadly]

It's not. You help every day by being there. By being you.

[bythewaves]

I wish they had been, Margaery! For all of your sakes.

[ He tips his head in a shy bow ]

Thank you for letting me into your heart.

[roseofthetyrells]

Might as well wish for the sun to rise in the west and set in the east.

[she smiles tremulously at him]

How could I not?

[bythewaves]

[ He has a very self-depreciating shrug, at times ]

Well. There are a lot of reasons I could give you from my history...

[roseofthetyrells]

[yes he does and she's having none of it]

And you know I know many of them and I care for you anyway.

[bythewaves]

[ He smiles a little at that ]

Aye, I know. You are a marvel, Margaery. A true blessing.

[roseofthetyrells]

[and she blushes faintly, suddenly seized by a bout of true modesty]

I--well, I don't know if I'd go that far.

[bythewaves]

[ He laughs softly ]

And that is why it's true.

[roseofthetyrells]

[she briefly bows her head before looking back up at him]

Who am I to argue with your wisdom?

[bythewaves]

[ He laughs, startled ]

Of all the things to ascribe to me, "wisdom" is the most unlikely!

[roseofthetyrells]

[she beams]

No one is ever a good judge of their own character.

[bythewaves]

Now who is the flatterer?

But I meant it - Finrod is the one who earned the appelation "Wise"

[roseofthetyrells]

[loftily] Not me. I merely tell the truth.

And which appellation did you earn, or would you rather I not know for I would go and argue with the one who assigned it to you?

[bythewaves]

[ He shrugs ]

I earned many, in my time. But in Beleriand they called me "Swift", for I commanded our calvary.

[roseofthetyrells]

I can think of worse names to be called. Granted, I wouldn't be able to verify it in person as I've not seen you in combat.
