Rhaenys arrived in the great hall with her new Queensguard, as well as Maekar and Talyn. Various people had been summoned to attend her. They were Selwyn Baratheon, Saenerys Whitefyre, Imry Wilfyre, Simon Tarly, Warren Marbrand and Liliyana Targaryen.

Selwyn entered and looked at Rolf. He walked over and leaned against the wall. His hand began to play with the scars on his face.
Liliyanna entered and went to sit as close to her sister as possible.

Warren arrives wearing an unreadable smile and a muted smoke colored wool coat with sleeves dramatically slashed with crimson velvet. He takes a seat, politely nodding to the Queen.

Ser Mearn stood alongside his new "brothers" and kept a vigilant eye on those that were in the Great Hall that day.

Saenarys entered the Hall, dressed (for once) in Westerosi fashion. Attending him was Red Tom.
He caught a glance from Ser Jordayne, all in white, and nodded. He moved to stand near his long-time friend.
"You seem ready for snow stealth." Whitefyre jested.
"Yeah, well, we match now, ye great White bastard." Jordayne returned with a smile.

Rhaenys looked around with approval, noting that only Imry was missing.
"We shall wait a little longer," she announced. "There is one more to come."

After a while, Rhaenys decided not to wait for Imry. He would show up soon enough. She turned to her men, clothed today in black leather that showed off her pale hair. Blackfyre hung at her side and she wore a slender gold circlet on her head.
"My lords, I have summoned you all here today to discuss the arrangements for my Small Council. It is my intention that you shall assist me in dealing with all those matters which have been my sole responsiblity until now. As you all know, I have appointed five of my seven Queensguard, and Lord Selwyn Baratheon to be my Hand, but there are more positions to be filled. I must wait for the Citadel to choose a new Grand Maester and I wish to appoint two more men to my Queensguard before I choose the Lord commander but the other posts need to be filled swiftly."
She paused and looked around at them all.
"This is what I have decided, if all of you accept. Lord Marbrand has already agreed to serve as my Master of Whispers so I do not need to ask his opinion. For Master of Laws, Lord Tarly. For Master of Ships, Imry Wilfyre, who we are currently awaiting. For Master of Coin, my brother Saenerys Whitefyre. And, a new post, that of Mistress of Dragons, for my sister Princess Liliyana Targaryen."
She stopped and looked around at them all for reactions.

Simon bowed his head. "I accept this honor, your grace, and I swear by the Seven that I shall not fail you."

"I cannot argue any of your appointments, Your Grace," Warren spoke through a tepid slash of a mouth, turning his gaze on each of those she had named after himself, though letting his eyes linger minutely longer on the new Master of Coin, as well as the newly created station of Mistress of Dragons.

"Thank you, my lords. I hope I shalll not fail you either."
Rhaenys smiled at the two men who'd spoken but she was waiting to see what the others aid before she began their first council session with the business she already had in mind.

Imry had been in the back of the hall conversing with a new friend; when he heard his name he apologized profusely and took this new honor most humbly.

"I humbly and dutifully accept, your Majesty." Saenarys stated, bowing low. As he returned to standing, he noticed Lord Marbrand's gaze. I have a wont to speak with him, for sure.

"Good," Rhaenys said brightly.
Enough people had spoken to satisfy her. She took her seat at the head of the table, those of the Queensguard who were present surrounding her.
"Let's to business then. Sit down my lords. Lord Selwyn, at my right hand, if you please. Liliyana, at my left. Everyone else, take a seat however you please. There are a few things I wish to deal with."
"First, I have appointed Ser Euric Dayne as my Queen's Justice. That is not a Small Council position, but it is equally important. But never mind that now. The first matter I wish to raise is to create a new title for my Hand once he and I are wed. King Selwyn will not serve but I feel that the husband of a ruling Queen should be more than a lord. Does anyone have any suggestions as to an appropriate style?"
