[@MrDidact][@kingkonrad] Merebelle helped Ellion into the Throne Room, thanks to more knights of the Reach, coming over and helping to escort them there. Once there, Merebelle started treating his more serious wounds and helped stopped the bleeding. "Next time, we're heading out - how about grab a chainmail instead of a shirt?" teased Miri, in a slight way. She was glad that he was alive - but worried that he did more damage to his body, than was necessary or needed. As her old teacher had spoken to her - wasting energy on bravado and glory, was great and all; but worthless if you were dead. "Luckily nothing important is damaged, so were good." She then started cleaning her own minor scratches and cuts - coming up better than some of the men. --- Merebelle stood at Ellion' side - after they had managed to get some actual healers to clean their wounds and a quick wash, while having time to properly get dressed and called to the Throne Room to hear the King and Queen speak about the future. Merebelle was surprised that she had been called - having been initially only a minor fighter in the Tournament and a pretty face hanging on Ellion' hand. But she thought helping to get the man of Highgarden away from danger helped with her reputation. Merebelle smiled in addition with the other Reachmen - as Ellion got awarded the title of Knight of the Green Hand and even a Master-of-Arms at Red Keep. It was a very prestigious position, and from what she knew from talks with him the Green Hands were a big deal too. Her eyes snapped up, upon hearing her name mentioned. Namely about the fact of her getting a position at court - as both a guard and as a bard. Both of either one was a position that would send her political reputation to the skies. But as a bard, she would be very deeply embedded into the court. As highlords and ladies a good song, and always talked upon such occasions - as some bards throughout history had also acted as spies. Whatever the case, Merebelle was very happy for such an opportunity. Then came the next boon that made her feel like she was roasted in dragonfire. A Bard' College in King' Landing - one that would likely be set up and managed in the initial years by HER family and HER House. She grasped onto Ellion' arm a bit tightly than she wanted - but the fact of the matter was, this was a BIG step for a Minor House; that had managed to gain some prominense after the Riverlands Civil War. Merebelle couldn't wait to receive the letters after this. She remembred, how her initial idea of becoming a knight - was treated as a fantasy tale in her youth by her parents. But once they hear about this, she would be holding her head very high in their family gatherings - and whenever they visited their resident Lord Paramount. --- Merebelle Gray later stood with Ellion in the King' Chambers. A very high honor for a noble, knight and lady such as herself now. Depsite having been initially selected out for this expedition in the first place. Now however it felt the situation was more serious - since their enemy had attacked them first and now it was time for payback. Merebelle gave her oath to the King - proving her faith and trust that she would give her loyalty and life for his service. Miri didn't have many ideas on where they could get any extra men or what they would plan further on. What was more on her mind, was for which mission would she be best suited. Any number of them could go easily or end badly - they would be rewarded sure, but depending on what happened it could easily scale from there. [@kingkonrad] Miri didn't ask any questions and calmly waited for the King to finish his speech. After everything, she scurried over to Ellion to talk to him. "Hey. So what are you thinking? Which kind of mission shall you be undertaking?" asked Merebelle, she wasn't sure which mission she would be suited best. Plus in this case, since she kinda slowly starting to grow attached to Ellion - she decided to have him pick the mission of his choice; with her liable to tag along with him.
