"I don't like the skin," Alliser protested. "Here, you have that part." He took out his pocket knife and cut out generous portions for the knight. Alliser was a generous sort these days.
"I know what it's like to lose your tooth. Or any other part. Sometimes I think something is wrong with me. I feel very sad. I wish I remembered how to fight. Or why to fight."

"Maybe you need a good clout in the head, boy. Or another one, since I think you got one to begin with," Gower mumbles, while eating the fish skin on some of the black bread he's been tearing through.

"Maybe I could have entertained the Lannister ladies," Alliser said sulkily. "I entertained that Grandison lady well enough."

"Grandison? You've been down the way of the Stormlands, boy? I don't know how a loon like you could survive crossing three kingdoms," Gower says. "I'm from those parts meself."

"Really? I've been there twice. First time was long ago, when the Hand ruled Storm's End and held a big tourney. I don't like the place really. Full of bad, evil things. No offense, but there are demons in the stormlands. It is known. Which part are you from?"

"Storm's End's been my home the last few years. I love the place. I think I am one of the demons," Gower says with a big hearty laugh. With his long-handled axe -- as tall as most men -- and enough bulk of his own for two men, Alliser might just believe him.

Seeing Gower wield the axe brought back memories of Giles Grandison, Brandon Buckler and Betram Selmy. Alliser felt dazed. He looked at his sword hilt and tried to pull it out, but it stuck in the sheath. It had not been drawn for many months. Alliser pulled hard, and finally one yank was strong enough to pull it lose.
"I haven't been a demon for a long time," he said quietly. His voice was solemn, but there was still a strange mad gleam in his eye.

"Boy, a little more drink and you might be a demon again. Here, have some ale." With that, Gower pushes a cup towards Alliser's lips.

Alliser drinks it down eagerly, and then brandishes his sword, which is a little rusty. "I might not remember this stuff, but once I unseated the Stormshield himself in a joust! And I was an arrogant ass too. Now I'm a cow. Well, I ride one. So hit me!" He laughed maniacally.

Gower guffaws. "Boy, you might have taken a tilt at Brandon's shield on stick, but I'll never believe you unhorsed the Stormshield himself. That is rich!" He clouts Alliser around the ear, probably harder than he intends.

"I did!" Alliser insisted, proud as a little boy but with his eyes still gleaming madly. "And take that!" He whacked and lunged at Gower enthusiastically.

OOC: With his sword, or just with his fists?

OOC: The flat of his sword ;D And the lunge didn't touch Gower, it was just to get him moving.

Gower grabs the sword by its crosshilt, and pulls it from Alliser.
-note- Gower is around 6'10". He has the reach and the strength.

"You're worse than my cow. Give my sword back! OR I'LL TAKE YOUR FISH SKIN!"
