Aranya tossed Beaumarin a rose.

Aranya applauds, smiling, as Ser Roland unseated Ser Ulwick almost without trying.

Aranya tossed Beaumarin a rose. Beaumarin tosses the rose to a pretty girl in the stands and exclaims he'd rather have a bronze hammer than a pretty rose. Lustrig the Lance rolls his eyes. |

The Knight of the Black Ring hits the ground with a tremendous thud. Silently he lifts himself off the ground, and removes his massive helm to reveal the smiling face of Ser Humfrey Drox.
The giant waves to the audience and goes to sit down next to the Patchwork Knight.

There was a surprised silence as Ser Garth Greenhelm unhorses the mystery knight. Then loud clapping.
Then a few people in the lord's box recognize Ser Humfrey Drox from King's Landing.
"Well done to my champions!" Aranya said. She glanced at the Patchwork knight. "Now, I would see you face, ser." She smiled at him.

Beaumarin sings a song about Greenhelms. Surely it is improvised on the spot.

Smiling, Aranya descended from the stands with the Queen, Ser Jonjen Hill, Ser Vance, and Alla. She greeted the champions.
"You four have ridden very well, and proved your worth." She winked at Roland. "To each of you I offer a purse of 70 dragons, a horse and service to Duskendale." Her grin grew as her eyes flicked to Prince Steffon. "To those who wish it, anyway."
Ser Barbrey of Cracklaw Point and Ser Garth Greenhelm dismounted, knelt, and offered Aranya their service, which she accepted.
The horses were led out, four handsome coursers. Prince Steffon was given the dappled-grey, Ser Barbrey the white, Ser Garth the dun stallion, and Ser Roland was given a bright-eyed blood bay. Then Aranya awarded them their purses.

"Of course, m'lady," the patchwork knight says. "Though I hate to disappoint. I am no ser."
The man removes his helm. A few may recognize Symond the Singer, the man who organized the tournament of the bards in King's Landing.
"The name's Symond," Symond smiles, "Epic bard extraordinaire, sworn to the Dawn Raider and companion to the Ox."

Ser Barbery hawked and spat when he took the money. It seemed a reflex action more than designed to cause any offense. Anya still looks horrified.
Ser Garth knuckles his forehead, his cheeks turning ruddy under his grey beard at all the attention "Ma'am" he mumbled before retreating.

"Yes." Humfrey said simply, towering over his companion. "Thank you for allowing us to participate, Lady."

Aranya grinned at the sight of Ser Garth's face - he was a grizzled veteran, and a somewhat awkward speaker.
Ser Barbrey was dirty and hawklike, but she had seen the way he fought - almost like a streetfighter, although on a horse.
When Symond the Singer was revealed, Aranya recognized him. "I remember glancing in at your contest. I didn't know you were a knight as well as a singer. I hope you're not mad as well," she teased.

"Tired your grace?" Beaumarin asks the Queen. "A song or poem for your mirth?" |

"First time I've ever held a lance in my life," Symond grins. "I fight better than I joust, and sing better than I do either."

"And falls from his horse better than anything." The Ox remarked, smiling at what he called humor.
