Roose leaned forward, feeling the wind rush past his head. Behind his honour guard shouted their warnings and complaints, but he ignored him. At his side was Blizzard, the direwolf racing along side the wolf. When they finally reached Moat Cailen the 15 year old lord pulled back on his reigns, causing the horse to rear. Falling off, Roose hit the ground laughing, rolling in the mud with Blizzard.
========================
The Lord of the North, after disbanding the northern army, began to make preparations to travel to King's Landing. Apparently, after a recent conflict in the south, a new Regent Lord Commander Benfry Smith had called a Grand Council. Roose had arrived back at Winterfell to find out that it was to start in two weeks. There were other tidings as well. Ser Preston Rogers had named a new man Lord of the Stoney Shore. Infighting between House Dustin and Bolton. Roose shook his head, it would all have to be solved after the meeting.
After depositing the documents taken from Benjen Stark Roose saddled up his horse again, and made for the south.
========================
Blizzard suddenly spotted something in the reads of Moat Cailen. Burrying through the light snow he came back to Roose, a sword in his hand. Dropping it the direwolf looked at Roose, studying him. Roose returned the glance, and then picked up the blade. "A sword? Probably from the battle that happened here."
Benjen had told Roose about the Battle for Moat Cailen, of how bloody it was. Roose looked around and studied the lay of the land, the position of the towers, the hidden causeways. To the untrained mind the defenses here did not look too formidable, but to Roose...."One could make a great stand here." Roose said to himself. "If only from the south."
He walked around for another hour, making mental notes, and studying the area. When the honour guard finally reached him again Roose was already mounted up on his horse. The captain pulled up beside him. "Find anything interesting m'lord?"
Roose threw him a slight smile. "Just knowledge."
Results:
Roose improves towards Grandmaster in Command.
Roose goes to apprentice in Riding.
