Who: margaery tyrell.
Broadcast: fleet wide.
Action: Marsiva ; hospitality deck
When: current

[ the girl who sits in front of the camera seems as if she is quite well-versed in this manner of communication. if she had spent precious time watching others from afar before trying her hand at it as to not look foolish, it does not show. the only hint of how foreign she is to this setting is her manner of dress but give it a few seconds and you might start thinking this is somehow natural, too.

after all, she does seem very comfortable. Margaery's smile is sweet and bright, her hair is flowing down her shoulders and a few roses are placed neatly in her lap, almost a portrait-worthy moment before she speaks. ]

If I am not entirely mistaken, these are our best chance of speaking to one another. I did not wish to appear ill-mannered in failing to introduce myself.

[ to her fellow hostages and to the audience watching. she made certain to appear especially lovely for this. if they love you from the first moment, they shall be yours forever if you mind your step. ]

I am Margaery of House Tyrell; some of you I had the pleasure of meeting already and as for the rest, I am eager to speak to you as soon as it pleases you. I understand we are to spend quite some time together and it would please me to know each and every one of you. I am certain you have fascinating tales to tell of your time here or where you come from; if you ever wish to share, I shall be honored to provide company. I know little of such vessels and adventures but I am keen to learn all that I may.

[ and win whatever game this is. she dips her chin, a humble gesture. ]

For now, I hope I am welcome among you and dearly hope this finds you well.

Very well. I have made some precious friends, already. Everyone has been nothing short of kind to me.

[ granted, margaery had listened to all they had to say, the sweet words and the bitter ones, had listened to odd tales of ships and shows and while she finds value in all those words - she had chose to focus on the good, at least while speaking to others. ]

And that you are well pleases me.

Most are. [ kind. and yet she can imagine even the sourest of souls bending to sweetness when they meet margaery tyrell. the young woman has a way about her -- it draws good manners to the surface. ] Soon enough, you will be assigned to a ship. And with any luck, it will be a fine one like the Blue Fish.

[ hers. ]

Simply like that? Need I not appeal to the captain of one? I fear I have little to offer in the way of space. Perhaps simply good morale. They say some knowledge has been given to us and will show itself when it is time.

[ an odd sort of thought, one she mislikes, the thought of someone giving her knowledge. if such can be given than other knowledge might be taken, after all. ]

The Blue Fish? What a sweet name. Is that the one you stay at?

[steeledskin]

Ships are assigned by chance -- and not by indulgence. Else I would beg to place you upon ours. [ ours. oh, that reminds her. ] I have brothers here, Margaery. I would that you could meet them.

[ she swallows, nervous. ] Is it alright to call you Margaery, my lady?

[ it's been many moons since she last held that privilege, and she doesn't want to assume it's still hers to exercise. ]

[partialities]

Then I shall pray that chance will bring us together, soon. It would please me to see you.

[ she has heard some words of more than one Stark. an interesting turn of events, certainly and one that requires caution. ]

Nothing would honor me more than to meet them, I am so pleased that you are with your kin here, this place certainly has its kindnesses.

[ at her question, she chuckles ]

I would be eternally sad if you would call me anything else.

[ -- hmm. she wonders how she might best signal to margaery that her older brother isn't aware of certain...circumstances. particularly those surrounding his death, and the death of their lady mother. she worries her hands by wringing them together. ]

Bran will adore you. [ she's certain of it. bran had always been like her -- enchanted by stories, and margaery is like a princess straight from a legend. ]

video »

[partialities]

I am certain I shall adore him as well. I shall tell him what a sweet friend his lady sister has been to me.

[ the politics of this odd realm would have to wait until they can speak in private, it would seem. or as privately as the ships allows ]

How long have you been here, sweetling?

video »

[steeledskin]

[ she hesitates. ]

I wish it was a simpler answer to give. With no moon above to mark, time isn't measured in moons. They call them months, Margaery. And I have been here for four of them.

video »

[partialities]

Months? How odd. How shall we know our name days with such odd ways?

[ and name days, both her and own and sansa's are equally important to margaery. she hums in thought before smiling ]

Well, I suppose we shall have to learn, you and I.

video »

[steeledskin]

[ name days. gods, but she's not yet considered those. trust margaery to hone in sharply on such details. sansa's cheeks flush. she wonders if she's already missed someone's. what of bran's? what of robb's? ]

Someone might help. [ slow and careful. ] There are clever people here, as well as kind. They might help us untangle such a dilemma.

video »

[partialities]

We shall ask for their advice then, and if the riddle should prove too complex, I have another idea.

[ as margaery is bound to have when it comes to such manners such as this. ]

We shall choose our name days.

video »

[steeledskin]

Choose them! [ she nearly chokes on her surprise. ] You are so bold. Always.

video »

[partialities]

We ought to.

[ it's a sacred duty, surely. ]

How else are we ever to receive gifts and sweets from the rest of this odd realm?

Re: video »

[steeledskin]

[ ambitious! to already be seeking their love. but she supposes she oughtn't expect anything less. it prompts sansa to finally smile. ]

I think I will let you broach that subject with this realm, Margaery. Your words won't fail to convince them.

video »

[partialities]

Me? Well, they all seem to favor you greatly. I shall tell them the first nameday is in your honor. They will travel to the corners of this odd realm to bring you the fineries you deserve.

[ her smile turn a little coy ]

I must say the men who speak of you are very handsome.

video »

[steeledskin]

Margaery, please -- [ her cheeks darken. and her heart flutters in an unpleasant fashion. it's not the sort of attention she craves, except on her sunnier days.

even so, she can't help but be curious. ] These men are only being polite -- even if they are handsome.

video »

[partialities]

You are too humble, as always. I find them charming and handsome and if they think you are lovely, then they are also wise.

[ just pointing out ]

But very well, I shall say this, the ladies are very charming, too.

video »

[steeledskin]

[ margaery, you tease! sansa's face contorts (only briefly) into a grimace. ]

You may as well tell me of whom you speak. [ which handsome men! ] Put me out of my misery.

video »

[partialities]

Your captain seems to favor you. But tell me of James and Remus. they're very charming, are they not?

video »

[steeledskin]

James Potter has been especially kind. And Remus -- [ is she a little breathless? only a touch. because remus has shown her the very shape of his soul, as he described it, and it was a wolf. ]

Remus's optimism is infectious.

video »

[partialities]

His - optimism?

[ the little grin that says 'is that how they call it in space' ]

video »

[steeledskin]

[ quieter, like she's telling a secret. ]

He likes wolves.
