Who: the little queen margaery tyrell + you
Broadcast: yes, unless your name is sansa stark
Action: upon the tourist, if you are so inclined
When: current.

[ those who frequently visit the star system may have seen margaery here and there. running around the moxie part of the planet under the name alerie, sitting in the spirit libraries and presenting herself as olenna tyrell or, quite like today, visiting the savvy part of the planet in the colors of her house, using her true name for a change.

it has been a sweet game of a sort but today she seems to be all business ]

Well, it is an interesting little place we are visiting, is it not? I do hope everyone is keeping well.

I arrived here six moon cycles ago and when I did, a friend of mine and I discussed our name days. It is very difficult for us to know when they would be, here. This realm seems to measure time quite differently than our own. It was my suggestion that we would do well to simply decide on the matter of our name days. My friend, I fear, is very humble and so it was decided -

[ mostly by herself ]

that we shall celebrate our name days on the very same day and I do think the time has come. Those of you who are truly fortunate have already met Lady Sansa Stark, she resides upon the Blue Fish and I do dearly wish to plan this little gathering for her and for myself.

[ she sits up, tucks one curl behind an ear and smiles ]

This entire matter should be kept a secret from Lady Stark. I wish it to be a surprise. I should think two weeks is a proper enough notice, there is more than enough time to purchase presents for her on this little planet.

[ and for margaery, but that's a whole other issue ]

She is very fond of gowns, embroidery, music and lemon cakes. Try and bring her a boon of friendship and affection, if you can find it in you. We shall meet at one of the halls upon the Iskaulit that shall be decorated accordingly to celebrate her and mine name day. As for my own preferences for gifts -

[ a tiny little grin ]

I trust you all to know your way to a lady's heart.

I'm curious about what a name day is like.

Others coined the phrase 'birthdays' I hear. In my own realm, we celebrate with a dance ball and a banquet.

I do not reckon I could manage such a large celebration here for lady Sansa; but I trust we can arrange for cakes and food, music and presents. It should still be a happy occasion.

I know little about birthdays, admittedly. But your method of celebration sounds fun!

If you wouldn't mind, I may be able to help, regarding music.

[partialities]

Would you? I would adore it

Do you play? sing?

Will I be allowed to help when we decide to celebrate your birthday?

[ bc obviously you want one. ]

I play a little, and my friend is very good. I wonder if I can convince him to perform with me.

[But, uhh, woah?? "Deciding" to "celebrate" his "birthday" is... new......... and unlikely.]

You're kind to suggest such a thing.

[Sidestepping is his specialty.]

What do you play? do you think he might agree? tell him it shall make Lady Sansa and I very happy and he can partake in the celebration. There will be cakes and food and some wine, I trust.

[ but how are you not excited!! ]

entirely kind. We shall decide on a day once these celebrations are done.

My friend and I both play piano; our specialty, in fact, is a four-handed performance. I play violin as well. I will tell him. I'm certain it would be good for you and Lady Sansa to hear, and I'm equally certain that it would be good for him to play, too. Music, to be sure, is a wonderful way to celebrate anything.

[But he doesn't have time to gush about music and how much it means to him; he's got to vaguely slither his way out of this.]

And, well, of course there was a day on which I was born... but these celebrations, with you and your friend, are much preferable, don't you think. Yes, I do think so.

Certainly. Both I and Lady Sansa are keen lovers of music. It shall honor and please us both if your friend shall oblige to play at our name day celebration. How wonderful that you share such a unique craft.


[ oh my gosh, someone who is shy about their name day! ]

For now, mayhaps.

[ she'll just have to talk to that friend. ]

[paraclete]

I share many things with my friend. It is a privilege. Just as it will be a privilege to share it with the both of you.

[He's hoping that's good enough for her, and that he can let the topic of his birth slide. She's probably human; and humans can be fleeting and flighty; and maybe this means that she will forget about this particular business before his rapidly approaching birthday arrives. She's kind, but unbearably so—Kaworu isn't comfortable with celebrating himself.]

A sweet notion. Are we not fortunate? even here, away from home, there is much to be shared with those we cherish.

and so many new friends to cherish, as well. a blessing, to be certain.
