"I'm sorry and thank you." Melee replied, "What I was saying before is that I really need to speak with your general. I....I just think its the right thing to do, you know? What with me stumbling in here like this, a complete stranger in times of war. It's awfully rude for me to not introduce myself, especially to the man in charge." She let out a small laugh and pulled the scarf tighter, "It's much colder out here then I remembered."
"Oh, I'm Melee by the way." She smiled at him.

With a swiftness in her step, Rena ran towards the rocks in the snow while all the other soldiers were gathering around in preparation. One of the male soldiers walked up to the boulder placing a hand firmly onto it's rough surface. "This would be a cinch if we weren't all so worn out", he pointed out, in a gruff voice. It was a sad truth but they were a tough group.
Rena clapped her hands together and shouted, just far enough for the men/women to hear, "Okay, listen up. I know that I am not in the position to boss anybody around, but it will make this task go quicker allowing us to move on." With the group in agreement, she delegated who and where to push the boulders into position. Rena leaned all her weight onto a shoulder, firmly digging her feet into the ground below for stability, waiting until everybody was ready.

Her vital enthusiasm shocked Maverick. How could she be so full of this joy at a time like this? He smiled being charmed by her charisma.
"Well then Melee, they call me Maverick. You aren't a stranger to us at all as long as you're one who is fleeing from Wispen." He brushed off the snow that had been accumulating on his red hair.
"The general seems to be busy at this time. For now, lets head over to someone's campfire I'm sure it would be a lot warmer there to start up some conversation." He smiled and lifted her up gently. His intention was to get her to some medical attention. He also wanted to ask her about Wispen. He hadn't time to look back as he fled on the horse of the dead Cavalier that saved him.

The True Reaper 24 "You guys start with out me I will be over there soon enough but if we want to move them there before tonight the nwe are going to need all the time we can get. See you in a few" Dean turns back around to watch where he is walking. "I'm Nereid. Just Nereid. Pleased to meet you, Dean," Nereid replied to his question about her name. Walking past Maverick, she glanced at the girl with him. "Does she need to stop at the clerics' tent? I'm sure Tirion or someone else has spare time. I'm busy, unfortunately," she mentioned as she continued walking, checking to see if Dean was still with her every few steps.

Melee put up a hand to her bandaged head and sighed, "It just wont stop bleeding will it?" with a shrug she looked back to Maverick. "I'm not exactly fleeing from Wispen par say. Actually I was never really there to begin with. More like passing through. i'm kind of a traveler, you see, but my alliance is with the people who are fighting against that horrible monster of a man that took Wispen over." She frowned, "All those poor people. I've never seen such a sad place in my whole life." She pulled the scarf tighter around her and put her hands out to the fire.

Maverick overheard Nereid's advice and looked around for Tirion. "Hmm Nereid...and the other cleric she speaks of...Tirion. I need to get Melee to her asap. But where is she?" Maverick thought to himself.
He was observing the bandage on Melee's head as it needed to be changed.
He stood up. "I need to change your bandages. You should try to lay down, you're not in any condition to be moving normally especially if you're still bleeding."
Rushing to the cleric's tent, he looked for anyone that was available to tend to Melee. He didnt want to see another person be thrown in the fire of deceased.
"Im going to need clean water, some sutures and fresh bandages." He said to himself.

Melee sighed. This head wound slightly worried her, not so much that it would not stop bleeding but that she could not remember how she got it. She pushed that thought out of her head and focused more on getting warm. She sighed as the cold continued to press at her.
Melee looked back in the direction that Maverick went. He seemed so worried.
She thought back to the time she spent in Wispen. Such a sad place, he probably had someone back there, friends, a family. She sighed as she pushed the snow away beneath her feet and sat on the ground, a little closer to the fire. The flames danced before her a rhythmic dance of flame and smoke she let it pull her in mentally as she tried to clear her head. No one can move forward by letting thoughts hold them back.

Maverick took only what he needed. There were lots who needed the supplies too. He knew this. "We'll thank the clerics for being such godsends with the supplies." He said to himself.
He came back to Melee with a flask of warm water, new bandages some sutures to tend to her wounds. She wasn't from Wispen? Who could she be? Maverick arrived back at the small fire where Melee sat idle, looking bored, but good in health.
"How are you feeling? You need to lay down so I can see that wound. I'm not a cleric, but thankfully, with the vitality you show, I'm sure that your wound is superficial." Maverick never tended to anyone else's wound before, but how different could it be from sewing his own wounds?

Melee didn't see Maverick approach her and she jupmed in surprise. "Oh wow you scared me." She promptly let herself fall to the ground and she smiled up at him. "Ready when you are Doc." She giggled at her own bad joke, "Just...be gentle. I'm a fragile being." she snorted another laugh.

((For everyone's information, BenOni the White won't be on for awhile. He's busy, and doesn't know when he'll be able to post again, so don't worry if he doesn't respond to you trying to speak with him (he's the general). If anyone else is going to be gone for a time, please either tell me in a PM, or post it here. Thank you))

Maverick made sure there was some soft ground on Melee's back and placed a rolled up towel behind her neck for confort.
"This may sting a little, if you prefer, I have some rum that you can drink." Maverick felt unsure of the level of pain tollerance this woman had. Rum usually is for deeper flesh wounds.
He began to clean her forhead and undid her old bandages.
"It doesnt look too bad." Maverick was glad seeing that it was a treatable wound.

Melee took a sip of the rum. It was bitter but felt warm going down and at this point anything to eat or drink was welcome. She had been traveling hard for the past few months.
"Thanks for this." She said staring up at the slate colored sky, "I've noticed there are two kinds of people out there when war times befall us. Some people are 'every man for himself'. They take to hiding and horde thier supplies, they won't do anything to help anyone. Then there's the other kind, who do what they can to help a complete stranger. I'm glad your not the first kind, you and your fellows. I'd probably be dead without your help. I'm am in your debt." She took another sip of rum and sighed.

(( I have Final Exams for a week or two, so I'll be stepping back for a while. My character is Rena and the soldiers are all set to attack the enemies in the area so if anybody wants to continue that, then by all means? hehe Thanks))
