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.

That -

[ she places a finger against her lips ]

is a secret. A fortune teller must have some secrets, yes?

[action]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka laughs. She likes you. ] You're good at this.

[ She doesn't specify whether she means the fortunes or something else. ]

In all truth, my Lady mother would have made a face, such games are considered childish and unfit for a queen to be and yet I find them terribly fun, I cannot truly help it.

[ especially here where none can see ]

[action]

[actsmagnificent]

I'd prefer a sense of humor in my Queen.

[ Should she have been showing more respect, though? Eh. She's probably okay. She serves a Princess back home without much in the way of social pleasantries towards her, so. ] Your subjects are lucky.

[action]

[partialities]

It is I who is fortunate, to have their love. I am nit a queen yet, my Lady. I was brought here shortly before my wedding day.

[ an unfortunate timing, it was and one that she mislikes greatly but she knows better than to show anything but gratitude towards their hosts ]

when I return, I shall strive to be worthy of their love.

[action]

[actsmagnificent]

You'll succeed.

[ It occurs to Haruka that she is still holding Margaery's hand.

She squeezes it. A thank-you for the reading, maybe. ]

[action]

[partialities]

[ some would say votes of confidence aren't worth much in a realm where she cannot be queen but those claims are foolish. if these people value margaery and see her as a fitting queen, it would be a mean to balance the claim of the dragon queen from the free cities and if there is an audience watching, what would they love more than a sweet, humble queen to be? ]

Well - you have been far too sweet to me and I asked nothing of you. tell me, how long have you been in this world?

[action]

[actsmagnificent]

Me?

[ Haruka laughs. ] I haven't done much.

[ That's not what was asked, Haruka. ]

[action]

[partialities]

Now I know that must be untrue. You seem so at ease here, so gracious in hosting me. I have a feeling my Lady is being humble.

[ she smiles. all ladies have their secrets, even more so than men. that much she understands well ]

but humility suits her.

[action]

[actsmagnificent]

[ This chuckle, and this laugh, are walking a fine line between that humility and an acknowledgment thereof. Being caught out deserves an answer. ] I might pilot the ship a little.

[ It's still not an answer to the original question. ]

[action]

[partialities]

You fly?

[ well isn't that just marvelous and entirely outstanding? a woman being in such a position. modernity will never stop impressing one margaery tyrell ]

truly? then I must be the fleet's most fortunate guest, I have yet to meet anyone who navigates these ships.

[action]

[actsmagnificent]

Want to see the cockpit?

[ No pressure. And she's aware that maybe she's just being flattered. But Haruka likes to drive things. Haruka really likes to drive things. She is one hundred percent a modern woman, all driving conveyances and wearing trousers. What won't they think of next. ]

[action]

[partialities]

May I?

[ and she's already rising to her feet, excitement written on her features. she has never been inside one, though the ambition to see was always there. ]

please. that would be wonderful.

[action]

[actsmagnificent]

They're made so that only pilots can really...understand it...

[ Consider this a half-caveat, half-apology that she won't be able to explain it to her satisfaction, but she'll always be happy to show a pretty girl around her pilot seat. ] But the view is great.

[ It would, ah. Have to be.

Follow her! ]

[action]

[partialities]

I would not expect to truly understand such things. On my ship, I tend to the ill and to the injured, if the need arises.

[ something she also never knew how to do before she came here ]

I trust I shall enjoy the view as well as your company.

[action]

[actsmagnificent]

Your patients must feel the same.

[ The fact that these things come equipped with medics is troubling. But enough stalling.

Haruka leads the way through the ship, coming to a cockpit with two different pilot seats. The controls on each are noticeably different, given that the pilots are dealing with a...different number of digits available, shall we say. ] Here we are. This makes it go.

[ She gestures to some of the controls. ] Here's steering. [ More controls. ] And this -

[ She flips a switch to project the full view of their surroundings. ] Well, knowing where we're headed helps.

[action]

[partialities]

we have been fortunate. Aside of a few people being ill from travel and the air about this odd moon, I was not required to tend to many injuries or illnesses. The Gods are good.

[ if she is honest, she had always loved charity but tending to the ill has never been a particular aspiration of her. it would have to be however and she would be grateful for it.

at least on the outside.

she follows her as they walk and smiles ]

oh, how beautiful. is it like a dream? to be able to fly these?

[action]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka shrugs. The lack of gravity is amazing but, if she were to speak honestly....

Her eyes glaze over with a slightly faraway expression. ] I miss the wind.

[ And she stares out into space as if one can miss wind palpably. ]

[action]

[partialities]

And I the sun.

[ she smiles a little, places a hand on her shoulder ]</small we shall both have those again, I am certain of it. Wind and sun and open spaces.

[action]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Is she being reassured? By someone who already reminds Haruka of...

Well, this smile is rather fond. ] I'd like to see those with you.

[action]

[partialities]

Mayhaps someday. We shall take a walk outside and it will not be so terribly poisonous. One could hope for a nicer setting next time.

[ she really is tired of the masks ]

[action]

[actsmagnificent]

There's always that.

[ This smile likes the current scenery just fine. Course, Haruka's also not looking out the window anymore. ]
