Roose flipped through the books as he sat in his solar, the cup of mulled wine now lukewarm and untouched. He found the words entrancing, as they were things that he had not grown up with. It had taken him a while to finally master the art of reading, and he still struggled with a few words, but he was fairly literate now. He found picked up one that was at the bottom of the pile. "Ah, Eddard's...." Roose said to himself.
He had taken a liking to the journal of one Eddard Stark, and from all accounts it was the very same one who had ridden with Robert Baratheon during the Stag king's famous rebellion against the Targaryens.
He opened to one particular passage that read:
"I was finally invited to one of Brandon's tutoring sessions with father. Brandon sat there the entire time looking board, while father talked and talked about the virtues of honour, valiance and lordship." At one point he turned right to me and said. "Though a strong sword arm is important, the most dangerous weapon any wolf can have is up here." My father said this as he tapped his forehead. "Learn to fight with that, and you'll win a dozen fights out of a dozen."
Roose looked up from the books, and thought on that for a while. Perhaps he would have a sit down with Cassel, and talk about the strategy and tactics require to conduct a war. Roose, already a master general for his age, would have to learn more.
"Speaking of Cassel." Roose said as he heard a knock on the door.
"M'lord, time for your sword training in the yard." The castellan of Winterfell said.
Results: Roose gains Grandmaster in Battle for his command in the most recent battle.
Roose gains Master in Greatsword for his participation in the most recent battle.
