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.

[ at first he smiles - because it's a sweet and exciting thought - and then he laughs because both of them know he's no lord material. ]

Or a half-decent jester -

[ oh, winn. if only you knew that you are better than half of the foolish lords of the realm put together ]

of course not! you mustn't say that. there is more to you than that.

[ maybe it's because he doesn't have his skills to hide behind, to keep him busy. maybe it's because -- he didn't really belong in his world and people from other dimensions just get him better maybe it's because - of that thing attached to his brain, maybe he's just different. he's not sure which is true but he's sure that something's changed because he's never really been this liked before in his life.

he's not sure how to deal with it. ]

I donno, I feel like Lord Winn of house Schott is just kind of tempting fate -

The first king of the Reach, the one who started the line of Tyrells was named Garth the Gardener -

[ she places a hand on his arm ]

and he was one of the most famous kings of old, I think his title is a little bit more unfortunate.

[ biting back a giggle, should not make fun of family history ]

[ why not? making fun of family history is fun! he smiles at the gesture, it's sweet of her. ]

I donno, I'd rather be a gardener than shot. So what's the story with gardeners and flowers and your family?

It is because of our house's seat, the Reach and even moreso, the castle in Highgarden. It was built by Garth the Gardener himself on top of a high hill. When he looked down from the hill he had seen endless fields of flowers by the Mander River and so he named his castle Highgarden and took the rose to be our house' sigil.

[ she smiles and shows him a brooch of a golden rose she keeps on her gowns at all time ]

A golden rose on a green field. Growing Strong - those are our words and flowers and roses have been our symbol since. Highgarden is known for fountains of water, endless fields of gold roses, sweet summerwine and the Seven Kingdom's sweetest fruit. Other houses care for ships or wars, house Tyrell always cared for poetry and dance and music, it is way many name our seat the heart of chivalry.

[ proudest tyrell? proudest tyrell. ]

[ her pride is sweet - as sweet as the place that she's describing, and it makes him smile fondly, wishing he could see it, wishing he could help her go home to it - and to her family. ]

It sounds like an amazing place -- and a smart house.

Each house has its own sigil and its own words and most of them are rather somber - Hear me roar, We do not sow, Winter is coming. House Tyrell is known for art and flowers and beauty.

[ and very clever women. ]

though perhaps some find the theme a bit dull.

Pretty sure that first one's a Katy Perry song -

[ and not at all impressive. hear me roar? really? we do not sow also sounds like -- a terrible strategy. ]

I like yours best, it's hopeful and grounded.

[ and it's what he's trying to do with every passing day - grow stronger, braver. ]

Hear me Roar? there is a song of such a name? well. I am hardly surprised. their sigil as you might have guessed is a lion.

[ she cannot claim it lacks in creativity since Growing Strong matched with a rose is not very original either. ]

Hope is something that my realm direly need. After all the days of war, I would like to try and - have the people enjoy some festivities, mayhaps a festival, something everyone would enjoy, not only highborns.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if there were 10000 songs varying around that theme -

[ his world is all about the individuality, after all. he's struck again by just how kind she is - if she met the teenagers of his world -- they're gonna have to invent a new term for that level of culture shock. ]

Hope is always a good thing to have around - and to give. That sounds like a great idea to me - as a general rule, the lower you are on the food chain, the worse war hits you.

It has been - a long time since the highborns of the capital went to Flea Bottom. If one cannot see how the lowest of their realm live, how can one hope to improve their lives? Before I came here, I tried to go every other day, to visit the children and buy my food from the stalls.

[ she looks down at her glass ]

The king's mother finds it a foolish endeavor. I suppose mayhaps I appear a little young and entirely silly to those who are more experienced in politics.

Hey, [ it's his turn to lay a gentle hand on her arm ] nothing could ever change without someone willing to look a little silly for a cause they believe in.

You are very good to tell me so. I have never been in the capital and - at times I feel that I should have. Highgarden is beautiful beyond words and wonderful and safe but at the same time.

[ she trails off ]

I cannot blame some of the people at court who think me no more than a fancyful child with pretty dreams and little knowledge of the world.

[ and let them think that, it is far safer ]

They thought that and worse about everyone who was ever different. You just have to prove them wrong.

[ inspirational speeches are more kara's forte, and he's not really sure encouraging her is smart -- but heroes are his weakness. ]

[ she smiles, looks around them for a moment before pressing a kiss to his cheek ]

You are very good to me, thank you. how fortunate I am to find such wonderful friends so far from home.

[ oh. she doesn't look like the type to get the wrong idea but he's still going to worry that maybe he gave her one. he smiles, but pulls his hand back. ]

We're all stuck in this together, if we can help each other we should.

A lovely notion.

[ how sweet that there are worlds that raise people who think in such a manner. if more people in her own realms were willing to look past their honor mayhaps they would be able some days without bloodshed. ]

and one I hope shall stay in the hearts of all those who come to this realm and mayhaps they shall carry it to their own.

[ winn has honor - what he was born without is dignity. ]

All we can do is our best to spread it around, right?

I should think so.

[ without authority, she can do little else for now. ]

May I ask you something?

Yeah, of course.

I am six-and-ten and - you look at me as one would look a nine year old.

[ she is smiling, however, clearly amused ]

women of six-and-ten do not marry in your realm, do they?

Ah - [ oh wow, he was not expecting that and it kind of catches him off guard.

he shakes his head with an awkward smile. ]

No, gi - women of six and ten are going on their first date in my country. They're at school, they're maybe getting their first jobs, they're - kids, just starting to figure themselves out.

[ as they should be. ok some do, but not the majority. ]

Date?

[ she does chuckle ]

so that is the heart of the matter. I am a child-queen?

[ there is no insult here, she does understand. she views joffrey as a boy more than the man renly was ]

how old are you then!

No just -- too young to have all of that on your shoulders.

[ she deserves a childhood. he deserved a childhood too but his not getting it was a whole other thing.

he laughs at her question. ]

Probably ancient in your realm -
