[ Magic transfers her writing from her tome to Margaery's. How, she would never be sure, seeing as most of its theories were beyond Dany's understanding. Nevertheless, the point is to provide courtesy to one from her world. An ally, despite the girl having fallen long before Olenna Tyrell stepped amidst the ranks of her people. She would respect the adoration of a grandmother for her granddaughter and honor the woman who reminded her to be a dragon. ]
[She had spoken briefly to Daenerys, but didn't expect for the woman to reach out to her, not privately and not through these books. Strangely, rather than disturbing her and making her wary, it simply amused her. She had liked Daenerys, even if they were rival queens.]
[ In this place, their titles matter little... and yet her pride would still feel a sting from being called nothing more than a lady. ]
Lady Olenna proved her ferocity when she and I spoke. I've no doubt she's imparted some of that resolve into you. Still, I do her a disservice from withholding information which may affect your wellbeing in this place.
Maintain your awareness wherever you walk, lady. Histories aside, there's a murderer who walks amongst us, and whoever it may be has killed at least one of the Favored.
[It was something Margaery could understand. So long as she was called "lady", it was the same title she would extend. None of it was out of malevolence, but a means to move around the awkward fact that they were rivals for the crown. There was at least a measure of respect offered on both sides, far more than Margaery experienced with Cersei.]
I hope that if my grandmother taught me anything, it is strength and will. I fear it has kept me apart from others, something that I hope you will forgive me for. I have had little interest in the gatherings our hosts provided us.
[ Time would tell if Margaery's wishes of lessons from the fallen matriarch would prove true. ]
I find no fault which warrants forgiveness, and so we will not speak of such things.
[ It's not as if she could blame anyone for a similar disgruntlement. ]
I've scant details to convey, as my ally was in a state of upset. Her dear friend, an ally from her world, was slain on the eve of Samhain. He was a kind person, one who struggled like so many others in this place. Perhaps more so due to his blindness.
[ That, she thinks, speaks more about the murderer who would attack a blind man. ]

[Though apparently that was a good thing.]
A murderer? What has happened?

Date: 2017-12-12 12:53 am (UTC)Matt Murdock was killed? But I thought I saw him in the halls the other day? How is that possible?
[Unless there was another blind man that she happened to miss.]
Is there anything being done to find the person responsible for this?
