It'd really suck if something went wrong with the technology. You know, in this situation where being able to speak French is critical, and there is so much paranoia and suspicion, where Donny and Margaery are newcomers having to make their moves very carefully, cautiously. It has been a week, and there has been progress, but it's slow and steady, the way it should be. Their plans are neatly in place.
The autotranslation device has been essential, most importantly discrete, allowing the two of them to communicate in their own language but understand and deliver what seems to be perfect French for the era. Something sings, then screeches in Donny's ear, a sound no one else seems to hear, though he's glancing at Margaery across the courtyard, where someone who looks important - several someones - are in raptures over something or other.
He can still understand, so that means everything is fine, right?
→ WOW THAT TRANSLATOR SURE BROKE
