And for luck. In the book, at least, he refers to them as his Luck.
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Xpost, of course.
A Wiki of Ice And Fire is pretty good for character backstories without spoilers, as long as you don't scroll past the Clash of Kings section on any given page - [link]

Because books.
Oh god, that's right! The fingers were already gone! I completely forgot.
I knew I should have brushed up before the season started.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm in the middle of this week's House Of Lies, and my sister sent me a picture of Magic Johnson's gay son, and there was one queer black son that came first to mind: [link]

Re: Margaery
I always got the impression that the Tyrells were a close knit clan, who supported and empowered each other regardless of gender, much like the Starks and the Tullys seem to. But they also seem to be aware that they need every conceivable weapon in their arsenal in order to play the game of thrones, and thus empowered their women in ways the Starks and the Tullys (and especially the Lannisters) didn't.

Like, you get the impression Cersei had to figure out how to play the game all on her own, hence the barely concealed bitternes over not being a man, despite outward claiming to not *need* to be a man.
The Tyrells, on the other hand, seem to take great pains to make sure their women know how to play the game as well as the men, and to think they need women just as much as men in order to compete. You get the sense that Margaery was *raised* to play the game, rather than having to figure it out from watching her father and brothers. And it's very interesting that the Tyrells don't seem to keep a lot of secrets from each other -- knowing full well what Loras' sexuality is, and not caring about it, for example.
