[Apologies - as nerve-racking and humiliating as they can be - are always better done in person, when possible. So Margaery will eventually find a sorry looking queen coming up to her while she's doing her sewing.]

Hello, Margaery.

[partialities]

Hello, sweetling.

[ her presence does make her smile, put away the fabrics and the needles in favor of rising to greet her, extending a hand so she may take it ]

what a wonderful surprise.

[bryces_pup]

[Riona takes the proffered hand and squeezes it gently.]

I apologize, I should have enough given you notice. I wanted to come over and apologize, and I believed it better done in person.

[partialities]

Two apologies in one meeting?

[ she looks at her with an arched eyebrow and a little smile ]

and I cannot think why any of them matter. You never did anything worth apologizing for.

[bryces_pup]

Heh, I suppose so.

[She shoots Margaery a disbelieving look.]

But I think you very much know why. For my behavior a few nights ago.

[partialities]

What have you done to me a few nights ago?

[ she lifts the fabric again, tidies and folds it as they speak ]

You have been nothing but good to me. Please, there is no need for such. We are friends, are we not?

[bryces_pup]

If you find my behavior forgivable.

[Ugh, Marge, you're going to make her spell it out?]

When I was drunk and feeling sorry for myself. I made quite a spectacle of it. Parts of the night are gone from my memory, but I know you were there. I am deeply sorry for what you witnessed.

[The last thing she wants is for Margaery - or anyone - to think less of her for it, though she expects some respect has been lost.]

[partialities]

I have witnessed much worse. You have harmed no one, have you? You have not insulted me or raised your hand to me or to mine. If being intoxicated is cause for an apology, I fear for my realm.

[ she smiles, places a kiss against the hand she's holding ]

you are sweet to think of me but worry not, I do not think of it as cause for any words of apology, not at all.

[bryces_pup]

Not physically, no. [Emotionally, that remains to be seen.] You're too kind to me, Margaery. Thank you.

[She smiles sheepishly.]

And now for the embarrassing portion... what exactly did I say to you last night? I fear what I may have said.

[partialities]

You told me I am the most beautiful creature you have ever seen, that I was as lovely as the moon - the true one, not the toxic one and that you would marry me in a heartbeat and steal me away from the king if it were in your ability.

[ very seriously ]

It was very romantic.

[bryces_pup]

[Despite the bald-faced lie, even Riona can't help but laugh at it.]

Then my true intentions have been revealed! How will I ever face you again?

[partialities]

It was a very sweet confession, by far the sweetest I have ever received.

[ a moment later and she chuckles ]

You told me of pirates and card games, they were lovely tales.

[bryces_pup]

Pi - oh, balls. I told you about Isabela. [FACEPALM.] Lovely. That's just... what else?

[partialities]

That is all, truly. You needn't be so worried. Men and women have been intoxicated before you and they shall be terribly intoxicated after you, it shall forgotten within the week.

[ with the way scandals seem to come by around here ]

and if someone shall ever speak of it to me, I shall scold them terribly.

[bryces_pup]

Maker, I hope you're right.

[She just hates the thought of people losing respect for her over it. Not to mention whatever damage she may have caused in her inebriated state.]

...My lady Margaery, whatever I told you that night: please do not speak of it to anyone else. [Because Riona swears she thought she told Marge something else, but it's possible she's misremembering. Either way, better safe than sorry.] Forgive me for the burden: it was never my intention to place it on you to begin with.

[partialities]

A secret kept is the sign of a good friend.

[ she smiles a little ]

You would keep mine, would you not? Of course I shall not tell.

[bryces_pup]

I absolutely would. We all have things we need to keep hidden, for better or worse.

[There's a little sigh of relief.]

Thank you for being so understanding. That's one less burden on my mind. I will endeavor to make this up to you.

[partialities]

If we shall ever happen upon a dock city with flowers, fetch me a dozen.

[ said as she starts again on her needle work ]

I do so miss flowers.

[bryces_pup]

Consider it done. Any flowers in particular? Or perhaps I should be a little more general and ask for a favored color? Who knows what sort of flora will grow on the next world we visit?

[partialities]

Roses would be the sweetest but any other flower should be wonderful. I do miss them so.

[ she laughs a bit at the thought ]

Mayhaps roses so big none of us shall be able to pick.

[bryces_pup]

I am fond of roses. Should they exist elsewhere, and we are fortunate enough to visit such a place, you will find some in your room as soon as possible. Though if they are to be so large [And she can't help but smile at the absurd thought.] perhaps I will simply settle for a picture on these communicators to show you. Even given your love of flowers, I would doubt you'd want one taking up the entire space of your room.
