Hello, Nova.

[ she smiles a little from above her sewing ]

I am very well and yourself? you look lovely.

[takeabow]

You always say that but I don't always think it's true.

Anyway, I'm good. I wanted to say hi. What are you working on?

[partialities]

You are never anything but lovely to me, it is always true.

[ she smiles and shows her the fabric ]

I found the green one in one of the shops and a thread in silver. Will it be pretty? silver flowers on green? I do favor green but house Tyrell usually wears it with gold, not silver.

[takeabow]

Can I come over to see it? I don't think the metallics really read that good over the videos. It sounds like it's nice, though.

[partialities]

Of course. I should love to have another opinion. In my realm, ladies usually sit together when they sew. It does become very lonely to do it on my own.

[ and she can't always bother winn and ask him to sit with her ]

[takeabow]

Well, I won't sew, but I'll sit with you. Be over in a few.

[ and she heads over! she knocks on Margaery's door ]

[partialities]

come in, sweetling.

[ she sits on her bed, fabric placed just above her knees. it's not silk, not even close, but it's soft enough and yields easily to the needle and the thread. ]

come, sit with me. May I kiss your cheek?

[takeabow]

Um, sure.

[ she sits and leans her face toward Magaery so she can kiss her cheek, and picks up a corner of the fabric to check it out ]

It's a lot nicer in person.

[partialities]

is it not? I do dearly wish I could find a little lace for the edges and the sleeves but this would do nicely, still. I bought so much - once we leave here, it is hard to know when the next stop would be.

[ she turns to look at her ]

go on. tell me of your day.

[takeabow]

I mean... it's not that exciting.

Weirdly, I realized it was probably my birthday the other day.

[partialities]

Your name day!

[ she gasps, puts down the fabric at once ]

Oh, why did you not say anything? we would have held a celebration. A name day is very important and a very good reason to find any form of wine we could and drink it together. How old are you?

[takeabow]

Uh... I mean, I didn't notice until after. It's May 8th... And is it weird to say I'm not sure? 18? 19?

[ she shakes her head ]

Time is weird. The last place I was before here didn't keep track of it the same way.

[partialities]

You forgot your name day? Well.

[ she thinks of it ]

Let us decide to celebrate it today then and we shall decide you are eight-and-ten.

[ better younger than older, after all ]

What would you like for a gift?

[takeabow]

I have a feeling that when I tell you I don't need anything, you're going to insist anyway. But honestly, I don't know.

[partialities]

Mayhaps the next gown can be yours.

[ she hums in thought and looks at her ]

I do reckon blue will be a good color for it.

[takeabow]

You do?

[partialities]

I do. Blue with an embroidery in silver. That shall be my gift and I will hear no objections on the matter.

[ it's decided. she rises to look through her collection of fabrics ]

should we do flowers? mayhaps leaves?

[takeabow]

[ she knows when she's lost an argument, on occasion. ]

Leaves would be better. Flowers are more of my sister's thing.

[partialities]

Mayhaps one flower then? above the heart? for her.

[ she smiles and fetches the blues she had achieved, spreads them so they may choose between them ]

The darker one is nice but I do favor the lighter color, what do you reckon?

[takeabow]

I think I like the darker... the lighter one reminds me of a dress I wore once, on a bad day.

[partialities]

we shall put the light one away.

[ she takes it without any further argument, moving back to take her hand in hers and press another kiss to the other cheek ]

the dark one, then. Happy nameday. May you have many more and may they all be blessed.

[takeabow]

[ she smiles, squeezing Margaery's hand in return ]

Thank you... you're being way too nice about everything.

I wish there were better food, though. I don't need anything special, it'd just... be kind of nice.

[partialities]

One can never be too nice to someone on their nameday.

[ she sits, smile turns into a little faux pout ]

It would have been nice to have some cakes to celebrate with. Mayhaps some fruit, too. I do miss it. The food is quite terrible, I hate saying it, I pity the poor cooks.

[takeabow]

There was a long time where we didn't have food at all, so I feel bad complaining about it. But it really isn't good at all...

[partialities]

Not at all? was there a siege? There was one in my realm, on the capital. People were starving in the streets. When my house came to help, we brought bread and fruit and vegetables and meat. I have never seen people so happy.
