Please, sit. Sit.
I do apologize, my lady.
Small council meetings.
At what point does it become treason
to waste the king's time?
That's a lovely gown, my lady.
Yes, it suits you perfectly.
I imagine you might be rather cold.
The climate is a bit more forgiving back in Highgarden, Your Grace.
Shall I have them bring you a shawl, my lady?
I am touched by your concern, Your Grace.
Luckily for us Tyrells, our blood runs quite warm.
- Doesn't it, Loras? - Yes.
Loras, isn't the queen's gown magnificent?
The fabric, the embroidery, the metalwork.
I've never seen anything like it.
You might find a bit of armor quite useful
once you become queen. Perhaps before.
Joffrey tells me you stopped your carriage at Flea Bottom
on your way back from the sept this morning.
Yes. I paid a visit to an orphanage
the High Septon told me about.
Margaery does a great deal of work with the poor back in Highgarden.
The lowest among us are no different from the highest if you give them a chance
and approach them with an open heart.
An open heart is what you'll get in Flea Bottom
if you're not careful, my dear.
Not long ago, we were attacked by a mob there.
We had a full complement of guards that didn't stop them.
The king barely escaped with his life.
My mother's always had a penchant for drama.
Facts become less and less important to her
as she grows older.
Our lives were never truly in danger.
You're right, of course.
But you are your father's son.
We can't all have a king's bravery.
Hunger turns men into beasts.
I'm glad House Tyrell has been able to help in this regard.
They tell me 100 wagons arrive daily now from the Reach.
Wheat, barley, apples. We've had a blessed harvest.
And, of course, it's our duty to assist the capital
in time of need.
Well, as Ser Loras said,
Lady Margaery has done this sort of
charitable work before.
I'm sure she knows what she's doing.
I'm sure she does.
