Before the Re-Enactment
Mery turns wide eyes to the man, completely startled by his offer. "Oh, umm, I was just doing what anyone would have done - using what talents I have to try to make a difference. I'm Mery Keryndon, and I came to town for Ispin's funeral. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'll tell you what - I kind of need to get down to the re-enactment right now, but once the festivities are over, if you want to drop by the Brass Crab, I'll take you up on that offer. Alcohol doesn't really agree with me, but if we can find something non-alcoholic, you're welcome to buy me a drink. Maybe we can chat about life in Vogler."
Once she's learned the man's name, she heads down to the re-enactment, giving a friendly wave as she goes.
At the Re-Enactmentment
Deciding to let those of her friends who can handle melee combat handle the closest mercenaries, she seeks one in the rear her arrows can hit, and her attention settles on the one behind the mercenary who tried to attack Hunni. Nocking an arrow, she takes a moment to release her fear, then aims at the rider and looses, breaking out into a grin when the arrow strikes true! It doesn't seem to do a ton of damage, but she'll take what she can get.
"Take that, you betraying bugger!"
Fragments of a pre-Cataclysmic Ergothan battle song about Corij, the Ergothan name for Kiri-Jolith, float into her mind, and so she looks at Artanis and sings them, deciding to inspire the young knight.
🎵When your enemy presses in hard, do not fear
The battle belongs to Corij 🎶
🎵Take courage my friend, your redemption is near
The battle belongs to Corij 🎶
🎵And we sing glory and honor,
Power and strength to Corij🎶
🎵And we sing glory and honor,
Power and strength to Corij🎶
