With Jon heading to the training yard, Seryna and Arya accompanied Lady Margaery, who walked gracefully with her dress swaying as they were joined by Tyrell and Artican guards. In the midst of silence, Lady Margaery addressed Seryna, "I hope you are enjoying your stay at Highgarden." She commented, hoping the place was to her liking.

Seryna stared at her for a second... "It's a beautiful place... the most beautiful we've been in Westeros, but the people here aren't very nice." She spoke sincerely, after all, Jon had killed that arrogant man, but in short, he lost his life over greed.

"I heard about what happened..." Margaery commented, "...heard that Jon Artica fought bravely in a fair combat and won with honor." She spoke with a noble tone,

"Jon didn't even play with him..." Arya responded from the side, after all, it couldn't even be considered a fight.

Margaery was surprised by this and began to laugh. "You are as they say, Lady Stark," She commented.

"What do you mean?" Arya raised an eyebrow at that.

"Everyone is talking about your enchanting beauty, but there are also rumors about you being a wolf, some have said they saw you training among the men, which is quite different from what we are used to when it comes to a woman of high nobility, especially someone who possesses your beauty," Margaery laughed at this.

"I like to be this way, I prefer wearing armor to a dress." She didn't hesitate to comment as they were entering a well-maintained garden.

"That's wonderful, I would love if we could go riding later," Margaery commented with a small smile.

Arya seemed surprised by this. "You ride?" She looked strangely at a southern noblewoman engaging in such an activity.

"Why the surprise...?" Margaery gave a small smile to Arya.

Arya spoke sincerely with this question. "It's just hard to believe that a southern lady would ride a horse..." She commented curiously, looking at the woman a few years older than herself. "Sansa always said that was for knights and men, since a lady's place is always being a good wife to her husband, doing activities like sewing, dancing, singing, among other things," She spoke, looking at Margaery with some intensity, thinking she was more different than she imagined.

Margaery laughed at that. "Well, there's nothing stopping me from riding a horse, even though I am accustomed to my dresses..." She smiled at this comment and shifted her gaze to a melancholic one. "My older brother taught me to ride when he could, and my twin Loras and I continue to do it together, riding through the pastures of Highgarden. It's very pleasant. Hence, I would like to invite you both later for it," she said, referring to both Arya and Seryna.

"That's fine, we can do that after my training..." Arya said with a proud tone and Margaery raised an eyebrow at that. She was about to ask, but Seryna was quicker in explaining.

"Our little Arya hopes to enter the archery competition at the tournament, that's why she's training in the camp every day..." She commented calmly, but keeping a small smile for the young girl.

"In the archery competition?" Margaery seemed quite surprised by that, after all, there were no women competing, there were all kinds of people in the competition, though not by any means the premier event of the tournament... still, there were as many nobles as common folk who paid their entrance hoping to win the tournament or to stand out to some knight, mainly the youths hoping to become squires.
