Highgarden Shelter

[solus_unus]

Caius hasn't been back in the City that long, though perhaps long enough that he's been to OHM and Liam's to check on the establishments since they've been inactive for nearly half a year. But there's one other place he's made a mental note to get to quickly if only to see if someone else he knew had returned like many others had.

He comes through the back way and almost immediately spots the woman in the garden.

"Excuse me," he greets by way of grabbing her attention first. "Are you working here?"

She looks up from the garden, quick to wipe her hands on a towel as she approaches the stranger. The days are easier with this work to occupy her and Kosem has always wanted her finger in the pie. Between gardening, cooking and cleaning, she's found her mood is rather amiable despite being brought here.

"I am," she sets the towel to the side and folds her hands in front of her. "Can I help you?"

[solus_unus]

"Maybe," he answers, offering a friendly smile. "I was wondering if there was someone here by the name of Margaery Tyrell. She'd be running the shelter, or at least co-managing it with someone else."

Caius is hopeful to see his friend again, but he's also aware that not all the people he once knew in the City didn't return beyond a handful of familiar faces.

"I have heard her name spoken I'm sorry to say that she is not here, at least so far as I have seen." Her smile is sympathetic, understanding full well the loss of friends and family. Was that not what she suffered at night?

She could at least offer this: "The way she's spoken of, she sounds like a kind woman." An angel in disguise, perhaps? "She's well loved here."

Hearing all of that brings a wistful smile to his lips. Her legacy with the shelter is very important to him and it's clear in his expression that he is quite fond of the woman that they are talking about. Gods, he misses her so much. Misses their talks and her smile.

"Yeah, she was pretty extraordinary," he nods and after a brief pause, he extends his hand. "I'm Caius, by the way. If you ever need any handy work done, give me a call. In fact, I see some of the stuff I've done is still holding up pretty well."
