The small clothes beneath Holland's armor had nearly dried by the time he had well and truly gotten his breath back. During their retreat, He'd had ample time to contemplate the battle; most notably the several times he'd stared the Stranger in the face during his battle with Aegon Tyrell.
"He's a monster," Holland said to Ser Beric Dayne, "A thrice damned monster."
"Who's that?" Ser Beric Dayne said.
"Aegon Tyrell, that's bloody who," Holland said mystified, "He's by far the greatest swordsman that I've ever faced." He chuckled a bit at that, "I'm still here though, aren't I? I gave as good as I got."
He was right. Despite the numerous nicks and small cuts he felt with every step, he was quite sure that Aegon was nursing similar wounds.
"You are, indeed," said Ser Beric, clapping him on the shoulder, "and I would wager that so shall you be when all is said and done."
With that, Ser Beric excused himself to speak with the Stone Hawk and once again left Holland to his thoughts. Would he still be here at the end of things? Would he see Aegon Tyrell once more on the battle field? The prospect excited and scared him.
------------ Holland improves towards Master Swordsmanship (Longsword) for his participation in the 2nd battle at Lemonwood.
