[ It has been a while, a long while, since Margaery Tyrell showed her face on the network. Today, however, it seems as if she is in the mood for it; or perhaps, as if she has been planning this little message for a few days now. ]

I do not know if it merits a little celebration or not. Likely, the ones who brought me here will have their own thoughts of the matter.

[ but she smiles, willing to brush aside these thoughts in favor of others. ]

While it may not have been my choice to come here a year ago, it might yet be my choice how to address the entire matter.

[ it's been a year. had she thought she would leave before now, yes? had she hoped to win the game already? of course. had she learned some humility? indeed. ]

The planet is quite lovely is it not? and I have heard of a nearby river. I wonder if a little outing is appropriate of a celebration. It has been a year and I have not seen clear water in months and months.

[ look at her, speaking of months instead of moon cycles. One might think she's turning modern. ]

A picnic by the river - to celebrate my stay here and the friendship that we have all formed. Surely, after the last few weeks we all need a little comfort and joy. I shall be leaving this afternoon, if anyone else cares to join me.

Kindness mixed with charm - can one find a more becoming balance?

[ it's a sincere compliment even if it is accompanied by a little grin that hints of mischief. sitting by the river is a sweet notion but the idea of splashing water and giggles is even sweeter. ]

If there are cakes of any sort on your ship, bring them. Our new cook is quite brilliant in the kitchen - a man keeping house, can you believe it?

[goodandtrue]

This world offers a great many surprises. Women warriors, male cooks.

[It's rather exhilarating.]

I fear I may not match your cook, but I hope that what I bring shall please you.

And he mends gowns too. I do trust he is better at keeping home than all of the maids of King's Landing combined.

[ and a kind man, a gentleman. the fleet needs more of those. ]

He makes such excellent snacks - waffles, have you heard of those?

[goodandtrue]

Mending gowns? A man mending gowns?

[It's far beyond anything she had seen yet. Women warriors, that could be a bit more expected, as she had met the Mormont women. But a man mending gowns?]

I haven't, but I am only still learning different dishes. What are they?

[partialities]

And quite efficiently, too. My friend Winn is much the same. He's a man who makes gowns, as capable as any seamstress. Their worlds are quite different than out own; men and women are mostly free to do as they will.

[ fascinating and captivating, is it not? ]

they are - dry cakes of a sort and you pile fruit and cream upon them.

[goodandtrue]

Could you imagine living in such a world? The things I have learned here would shock my parents so greatly, but it is greatly enjoyable to learn to hunt or protect myself.

What of you, my lady? Did you learn something that is as free as a man sewing?

[It was as though they were sharing shocking secrets.]

I may have to learn them. I only recently have begun making bread.
