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.

Comments

[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 ]

[partialities]

Because it would please me.

[ your friend is a bit of a brat, nova ]

[takeabow]

Um. Okay. Well. Of course, yeah. We'll hang out soon.

[partialities]

We shall. You owe me a debt, do you remember? You promised to teach me how to braid my hair.

[ it's the coolest style ever ok ]

[takeabow]

Of course. You can just come over now?

[partialities]

Of course.

[ her smile softens a bit ]

You are not inviting me only because I asked, are you? I shall hate to take from your time.

[takeabow]

No, I want you to come over. And I'm really not doing anything right now.

» action.

[partialities]

Then I shall be over swiftly.

[ when she does arrive, her skin is clean and she had changed from stained pink silks into clean pale blues. she takes off the mask as soon as she is inside ]

Oh those are horrid, no matter how pretty they attempt to make it but you.

[ she approaches her and curtsies ]

you look lovely. tenfold more so in person.

[takeabow]

[ she's wearing some of the clothes she got at their last station: a crimson henley, dark pants, and kneehigh hunting boots ]

You look way better. I feel like I should change into something fancy just to hang out with you.

Do you want a tour?

[partialities]

Not at all! You must never say that. You are lovely as you are and I would be heartbroken if you shall ever be anything less for my sake. or for anyone's.

[ she touches the end of her braid and smiles ]

and I would dearly love a tour.

[takeabow]

[ luckily, the tour is pretty brief. kitchen, bridge, and katniss' room, where katniss invites her to sit on the bed ]

Do you want me to show you on me, or do it for you?

[partialities]

On you. I shall attempt to do the same afterwards and you may tell me I am doing anything wrong but first - open your palm.

[ she'll lay a small, golden hair pin at the center of it ]

this is one of mine and I want it to be yours. You can wear it on the end of your braid.
