Alester kept a close watch at his surroundings, as they were making their way towards Castle Black.
"So tell me about yourself, Gorben. How come you joined the Night's Watch"

"How else does a man join the Watch. I was convicted of a crime I did not commit and was sent up here."

He grinned. Alester had always dreamt as a child, living the dangerous life of an outlaw, as his upbringing had been strict.
"Of course. One can sign up of his own will of course, but where's the fun in that, aye?"

Alester smiled as he thought about the look upon his son face when he had told the news.
"Most of us southerners don't see the great sacrifice you do for us, so I wanted to pay some of that back."
That wasn't a total lie, but the main reason he had done it was to spite his son, Conn.

He laughed again. It had been a long time since he had felt this free, that he had the whole world before him. Had he known he would find it up in the north, he would have left decades ago.

"That little needle against my big club, that wouldn't be fair" Alester laughed with tears in his eyes.

Alester nodded. The evening was approaching and they should find somewhere to spend the night.
"Yes, I can't see why we shouldn't. It won't be any contest though, I know I'm gonna win anyway"

"You a fucking Lordling I doubt it." They came across an old Way-Station, "Come on well spend the night in here."

He stepped down from the horse, and lead the horse to the way-station.
