In your bed in your tent; Margaery and her handmaids

When you come to, you discover that your surroundings have changed. You are no longer in Renly's tent, nor are you on the ground. Instead, you are lying down on your own bed in your tent. You are securely under the covers.

Furthermore, you are not alone. Queen Margaery Tyrell is seated in a chair beside you. Two girls who are about her age are standing behind her.

"Your Grace," you acknowledge her presence, moving to sit up out of respect. However, Margaery stops you from rising.

"Don't get up," she urges you, "I would hate for you to overexert yourself."

You would hate that, too. As you settle back down, you ask "How long have I been ****?"

"Almost five days," Margaery informs you, "Much has happened in that time."

"Was there still a battle?" you ask nervously.

"Yes," the queen reveals, "Fortunately for everyone, it did not last very long. When Stannis's forces saw how hopelessly outnumbered they were, they were quick to capitulate. Most of them came over to our side. The rest fought to the bitter end, or surrendered when their commander was captured."

"So, Lord Stannis is in custody?" you assume.

"Indeed," Margaery replies, "Both him AND his Red Witch, who was responsible for what happened in Renly's tent."

"Then you know of that, too?" you inquire.

"Of course," says Margaery, "The thing that attacked you and my husband was a shadow assassin conjured by Melisandre. Its goal was to kill my husband, and it would not have stopped until it completed its goal, or something else stopped it first. On that note... Renly told me about how you saved him at great risk to yourself."

"I'm just glad I was able to stop that monster," you mutter.

"So am I," Margaery declares, smiling, "Renly and I are indebted to you. We could never properly thank you for what you did. But we found a way to begin. That is why I took charge of caring for you these last few days."

You are stunned. "Well, I thank you for your concern, Your Grace."

"You need not thank me," is all Margaery says in response. After a pause, she asks "Do you think you can sit up?"

"I suppose," you mutter. Margaery then leans over and helps you sit up. As your blankets fall off your torso, you realize your chest is bare. You hastily grab for them and exclaim "Why am I naked?"

Margaery chuckles at that and says "Well, we had to remove your tunic in order to treat your injury. Besides, you're not naked. Let me show you..."

She then takes your blankets and pulls them all the way down to your feet. Indeed, you are not fully naked. There is one article of clothing you are wearing.
