The Jousting Grounds

"Yes, my lady," Alysanne whispered, thrilled to be conspiring with a real-grownup. "My dogs will keep us safe."

[brigida]

Aleza laughed happily, "Dogs? A regal lady like yourself does not have a full standing army at her disposal?" she asked with some concern, "No matter! I am sure they are most impressive dogs." she nodded, knowingly.

[The Smith]

Lord Yew walked over and took Lady Royce's hand and kissed it several times, "Thank you Miss Royce. Those thundering, barbarian dunderheads of yours were looking to crack my skull open with their iron shod hammers. But as always I trust a beautiful, virignial maiden to come to my rescue and save my proverbial fat from the proverbial fire. Which in this case happen to literally be my head, and their steel weapons." He laughs once before continuing, "Did you see that bad pass, most aggregious. I swear I wanted to wreak justice on the murderous Son of a whorish dog who did that to the poor darkened fellow. But I am afraid that my age has weakened my sword arm to the point where I am only dangerous to small vermin, and that man looked more like a steel clad bear then vermin, even though he acted more vermin then bear." He flashes a smile and bows again, "It has been too long, remember when I was teaching young Yohn in the Eyrie, we had such a wonderful affair. Did I ever thank you for letting these old bones, that one in particular of course, pleasure you so greatly. I needed the exercise, and I have to admit that all the problems I had with my said sexual prowess were complletely related to the altitude and not in any way attached to my virilty. May I sit there?" He points to a seat quite close to Aranya.

[Lord Howland Royce]

Ser Patrek Redfort growls as the Prince run from the stand and attempts to follow

[wookie]

Thomas dismounts after his success and removes his helm, which has been crudely painted with a seven-pointed star on it's front. He watches Ser Lucas on his tilt and nods in satisfaction as he defeats his opponent.
When he hears about Ser Patrek he looks shocked but then looks grim and heads to his own tent, closing the flap behind him. A few minutes later, some loud murmuring and prayers can be heard from within.

Aranya looked a bit bemused. "I, er, was not aware that we were lovers. How silly of me. Yes, please sit."

Brynden was staring at the crazy old man.

Aleza laughed happily, "Dogs? A regal lady like yourself does not have a full standing army at her disposal?" she asked with some concern, "No matter! I am sure they are most impressive dogs." she nodded, knowingly.

"House Blackwood has the best dogs in the world," Alysanne said.

"You think so," Selyse said to Alysanne. "But you haven't met my Hawkeye."

"If you take your friends near the hounds, Perra will go with you," Aranya said, signalling for the nurse, Perra, to go forward. The girls nodded.

"You seem to like children," Aranya said to Aleza.

[Fel]

Ser Lucas Harlaw salutes Thomas as he passes him. "The Seven are well represented in this tourney!" he called out to him.

[Tallahar]

As William unseat Ser Grant Connington the young Knight nods towards the older man, "You rode well but my lance was straighter. I would like to ride against you again some time."

Then turning Vincent he rides over to Ser Andrew, "Seems like were going through."

"Yes the Warrior must of blessed us."

Graham is thrown from the saddle and hits the ground with a thud. Under normal circumstances, perhaps, he would be very upset, but today he wears a smile under his helm.

Not every man could say he broke five lances against a white knight of the Kingsguard, all while still drunk.

[Fel]

Opponent after opponent fell before Ser Lucas' lance, and each one was further proof that the Seven were with him. They were guiding him to defeat all these corrupt knights and nobles, and it thrilled him.

He had been sorry he had to face Thomas so soon, but one of them had to be the victor to go on and win in the name of the gods. He had dropped from his horse and helped the man up, and promised to do his cause justice.

[Lord Howland Royce]

Ser Patrek groans as the mystery knight is revealed as Prince Rodrick. "The gods now that I should let you stay on the ground in the armor," Patrek sais, but eventually carries the Prince off to speak some sense into the boy's head.

[Fel]

Felryn laughs and follows after Ser Patrek and his ward.

Mallery was beaming from the stands, and looked smugly at Lady Connington.

"Papa fell," Corrisande said tremulously, her eyes welling up.

"He is not hurt, sweetling," Mallery told her daughter soothingly. "See, how he laughs as he gets up! Your papa rode very well."

"Graham has done very well," Aranya said to her cousin. "So has this Lucas Harlaw."

Jeyne Lannister and Rhae Rykker gasped when a mystery knight was revealed as Prince Rodrick. Brynden looked amused.

[The Stranger]

The Knight of Gold Horse Head and Purple Dragon Head removes his now battered helm, to reveal shoulder length black hair and the sun-kissed skin of a Dornishman, Ser Osney Santagar. He reaches to shake his competitors hand.

"That was well done Ser Harlaw." The man says, tossing the helm aside. "You should try it again in Dorne some time, when you could fry an egg on your armor, and see if the results hold."

[Deleted]

Aranya glanced at the mystery knight and raised her brows. A Dornishman had come to this tourney? That was brave of him. She smiled and clapped as the commons roared for Lucas Harlaw.
