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.

[ Leto had been wandering around when he heard the broadcast. It was only a matter of using his abilities to find her. He lets her finish her little introduction, leaning against the door with a smirk.

A Noble House. Albeit none he has ever heard of before. But the same rules must apply. ]

Short and sweet. Well done.

[Her manner of speaking and dress remind Riona a bit of home, though she is by far the politest person she's come across so far. Not to disparage those she's met, but goodness, this girl is pulling out all the stops.

And is remarkably composed for a newcomer.]

Getting to know every single person here may be a monumental task; there are quite a few. [With seventeen ships in the fleet and many reporting to be overcapacity, well... the math spoke for itself.] But it's admirable of you to want to try.

Riona Cousland. Pleasure to meet you.

[ here is a young man who's not a stranger to the concept of power. margaery can tell at once, from the way he carries himself to the tone of his voice. mayhaps this is a man who knows what to do with power. lately, with her darling husband-to-be, she had take the role of such a way of thinking onto herself.

she smiles at him, clasps her hands in her lap as she speaks. ]

I do not wish to torment my prospective friends with speeches. If they find me to be a bore already, it would be quite tragic.

Re: [ action ]

[ His incandescent eyes, blue in blue, glimmer with hidden mischief. ]

Sadly, not all tragedies can be prevented. Do you think you will make many friends, Lady of the House of Tyrell?

[partialities]

I ought to at least strive for it, Lady Riona.

[ she speaks with an air of nobility, with pretty words and a sweet smile and margaery's smile grows in response, turning from bright to secretive, as if the two are dear friends already. ]

I am certain I could learn from everyone and I am certain they would prove to be such sweet company with their tales.

[partialities]

No, not all of them.

[ for all that has happened recently would one day be sung as a woefully sad song. the death of her first husband-to-be which had grieved her brother so terribly, the war that shall not cease in the foreseeable future, sansa's stark marriage to the lannister imp in place of sweet, dear willas. ]

Yet some might, surely.

[ she pauses to think of his question and replies with similar mischief: ]

I have made one already, yet he must call me Margaery, I reckon.

[precedented]

You speak of hope in a clear voice. I'm afraid I'm more on the pragmatic side. I look to the future and all it might bring.

[ There's a hint of knowing in his voice. He is not confused or even disturbed by his new accommodations. ]

If the lady would ask it of me.

[ He bows lightly - enough to show respect but enough to show that he merits respect of his own. ]

I am Leto of the House Atreides.

[misterprongs]

[ house tyrell. it doesn't sound familiar, but james has been well indoctrinated into how westeros works by now, and so he can only hazard a guess that this lovely lady is from the same world as sansa and her brothers.

and so! ]

Do you happen to know Lady Sansa?

video

[bryces_pup]

Oh, just Riona is all right. It's been quite awhile since I've been called that. [She laughs a little under her breath. It's been awhile for a variety of reasons, but it's certainly a throwback to home to hear it again. It stirs up quite a bit of nostalgia.]

Well, you're not wrong there. Many come from different worlds and offer new perspectives. I wish you luck in that endeavor and hope you don't find yourself overwhelmed.

[Her smile doesn't falter, though it does gain a touch of seriousness as she continues:] Has anyone you've spoken to so far told you of what your new situation is?

video

[percolates]

Each and every one? That might take some time. [Though it's not like there's much else to do, currently.]

[video]

[helladoomed]

[The blue haired teen just looks amused.]

Jeez, aren't you a formal one.

[shockput]

[ ooc: continued from here. ]

[ He offers her his arm comfortably that she may walk, indeed she is nobility or royalty. ]

You must tell me your name, then, for I doubt I can find one to ascribe to you.

video

[pneumo]

I don't think I have any real tales to tell...but it's nice to meet you too, wow♥ [ Sou friendly...Sascha's touched. Most people on the Marsiva were a lot more standoffish when he was there. ]

video;

[ino]

[ Wow. This is one of the strangest introductions she has ever seen. Ino is far more accustomed to the usual upset and outrage most first posts tend to contain, so this is just ... ]

You're awfully comfortable, all things considered.

[theshabbiestofmen]

[Well! That's a familiar method of speaking, though he won't presume such just from that clue alone.]

Remus Lupin. If you've any questions-- or simply want to get to know someone else-- I'd be happy to be of service.

Video

[bigvessel]

Well, aren't you a pretty picture? And taking this pretty well. Or maybe just laying it on a little thick? C'mon, sweetheart, I bet there's at least one kidnapping alien race you hope aren't doing all that well right now.

[greyjane]

[Well isn't that just the most charming introduction. Shai gives the woman a cheerful little mock-salute with two fingers.]

It's a pleasure, sweetheart. Name's Shai. I'm new to the 'Fleet but I've been in space most've my life, so you need any help you let me know.

[steeledskin]

[ -- it's a voice that makes her heartbeat fall out of line and thunder a little faster. sansa, hungry for a scrap of familiar friendship, stares at the device for a good five or six seconds. margaery tyrell. queen, by now. but she doesn't introduce herself as such and sansa must wonder whether the other young woman is playing a game of her own. she will not put it past highgarden. not any longer. ]

What good fortune it is to see you once again. [ but she doesn't quite smile. not yet -- she's waiting to take her cue from margaery. ]

[partialities]

The future will bring what it will.

[ she agrees with a slight nod. there is little to be done about what is set to happen except for attempting to sway events this way or another. ]

Yet I find a measure of hope gives people the sweetest form of comfort.

[ a queen ought to be able to instill it in the hearts of her people or what kind of queen is she?

love, margaery had always thought, is so much better than fear.

she bows her head. ]

Lord Leto, it is a pleasure to be in your company.

video

[partialities]

How sweet of you to cast aside your title, I was - considering doing the same. After all, it means so very little to the people here. If I am to call you Riona, then you must call me Margaery.

[ the smile remains even after the question is asked but a glint of interest makes its way to her eyes. ]

I have heard some words of it but I fear they are a little lost on me. I wonder if you would be so kind to explain to me in your own? we seem to understand each other well, you and I.

[Video]

[partialities]

[ well this is certainly interesting. margaery had been plucked like a flower from her own world a moment before she was to become queen and while that has been a setback, the foreign surrounding had been a second one. yet he speaks a name that makes her smile grow brighter, sweeter around the edges. ]

I think myself very fortunate to name Lady Sansa as my sweetest friend. Tell me, have you came across her in this realm?

video

[partialities]

From what I have heard, we seem to have an endless supply of it, have we not?

[ and that is precious commodity in itself. time is something one has to be very careful of. lose sight of it and it shall flow between your fingers and you would miss the moment that sets apart a player from a pawn. even here, there is no time to lose, not when margaery seeks another precious commodity, friendships.

they are a key to both knowledge and protection, after all. ]

If I may say, you have the most beautiful hair. I have never seen a color so lovely.

[video]

[partialities]

I would not wish to be thought of as crude.

[ her smile is still sweet but there is an impish edge just along the edges of it, hinting that she could be informal if provided the right company. ]

I imagine that most of the passengers among the different vessels know each other well by now and such formality is no longer needed.

[ a hum ]

If I may ask, have you been here for a long time?

[video]

[helladoomed]

[Chloe actually laughs.]

Shit, girl! Be crude, it's fun. Life's too busy to worry about offending people.

[She shrugs.]

Like a week and a half?

action;

[partialities]

You are being far too kind, I imagine there are at least two dozens of such possible names.

[ she could make a game of it but she settles for a simple answer for now. ]

I am Margaery of House Tyrell.

[ she halts to offer him a small curtsy, still holding onto his arm ]

and now I will have the name of my charming company.
