Who: margaery tyrell
Broadcast: fleet wide
Action: the windrose and all around the moon
When: current

[ enter margaery tyrell of the windrose. remember? silks, beautiful curls, too generous of a cleavage for a sixteen year old? queen to be?

today, the pale pink silks are tainted, as well as the usual fair skin with a mixture of dirt, mud, leaves and at least three colors of paint. ]

I do believe I won against the locals in their odd little paint game. I find it quite brilliant if a little bit of a hazard if one is very attached to their clothes.

[ the queen to be seems much more of a brat today ]

I offer a different game of chance. some smallfolk in my realm say that one can tell someone's future and their traits according to the palm of their hands. I was told it is all false but.

[ there is a but with margaery tyrell ]

A guessing game! I shall attempt to read your palm and if three of my guesses are correct, that must be worth a prize. I shall leave it to you to choose what to give me. If I lose, I shall of course be in debt of one prize to my company.

[takeabow]

Yeah, and especially with projectiles, stealth is important.

[partialities]

You are right, as always. How fortunate I am to have such a good friend with me. It shall make a victory ever so much sweeter if I achieve it with you.

[ it is always better, if one can; to have victories together. if only because it means there will be someone to protect you from future losses.

the games that move the world never end, after all ]

[takeabow]

[ that's... such a flattering thing to say, Margaery. Nova may be hit with sudden shyness, though she battles it off ]

Thanks. I agree. We'll make a good team.

How are you with strategy?

[partialities]

Excellent if I may say so myself. It is how I won against that group of locals. I am quite good at such games. We never played these where I come from, but I find it is quite easy once I begin.

[ perhaps it is a healthy instinct and perhaps it's more like garden hide and seek only with paint balls ]

But do not tell anyone, they might think I am bragging.

[takeabow]

There's nothing wrong with bragging sometimes.

[partialities]

Well.

[ a beat and then she grins, all mischievous ]

Maybe after we win.

[takeabow]

It's a deal.

[partialities]

Now all I need to do is to find a way to wash that paint off.

[ she looks down at her gown ]

A new quest, it would seem.

[takeabow]

Yeah... good luck with that. Probably a lot of scrubbing.

[partialities]

Well - mayhaps it is not impossible. I am certain there are those here who would help a young lady in her time of distress.

[ a little grin, if only to show that it's as far from distress as can be. ]

[takeabow]

Something tells me you're great with strategy.

[partialities]

[ oh nova, she is smiling so brightly now, there is a hint of a tease there ]

are you implying something, sweet Nova?

[takeabow]

First of all, I don't think anyone has ever called me sweet.

[ the second-of-all is pretty obvious ]

[partialities]

Then they are the greatest fools in existence. You are terribly, sharply sweet and I am most certainly correct about that.

[takeabow]

I mean, that's nice of you to say, but I'm not sure how true it is.

[partialities]

Nova, I am soon to be queen. If I say so, it is true.

[ marge, you're a brat ]

and I should like to see anyone try to argue otherwise.

[takeabow]

Oh, well. I'll defer to your word on that then, your highness.

[partialities]

Well you cannot. A person cannot decide the value of their own traits. If you wish to make an argument, sweet Nova, you shall have to find someone else to attest of your value.

[ not that she'll listen but. ]

[takeabow]

Does it count if they're scared of me?

[partialities]

[ laughing ]

no, it does not. some sweet people can also be frightening. My grandmother frightens half the people she meets but she is the sweetest woman when she does not.

[takeabow]

I suspect grandmothers are probably like that.

[partialities]

Some, I suspect. They call her the Queen of Thorns for a reason.

[ and let us not discuss the fact that she calls her two personal menservants 'left' and 'right' ]

but some friends can be like that too as it happens.

[takeabow]

Well... thanks.

[ she would still quibble over the words, but the sentiment is nice ]

[partialities]

You must not thank me, sweetling. It is but the truth.

[ and just as smoothly ]

when we meet, I have something to give you.

[takeabow]

What? Why?

[ you're so gracious, nova ]
