Joanna turned to the Vale lord who was bound to her. The sword rested comfortably in her hand.
"Alright," she said. "Do you want to lead or shall I?"

"I believe you can lead if it is your wish, I will just try and defend us from any of these armed men scattered around here." He holds up the shield.

"As you wish, ser."
Joanna stepped confidently forward.
"I wonder how it is that so many men are willing to trust a lady with a sword. Perhaps that is my mother's legacy even though she is retired from Court life. Fortunately, Ser Jon, Mother trained me well. I shan't let you down."

Jon followed her. "I have faith in you Milady. I do not doubt your ability to lead us correctly through this maze."

"That is good to know. I shall be sure to tell my husband of your faith in his lady and my brother the king that you have faith in his sister."
She kept her eyes on what was ahead as she continued to speak.
"Some of the competition is fierce. I should know since many of them are my own kin. Most of us have a friendly rivalry in these matters."

"That is good, I would hope that this competition is not just a give away to some people and they do not try to win it."

"I felt like a competition, and the ideas for these events are just enthralling, I felt it to be a shame to not compete."

"I agree. Daemon - the king - has an inventive soul. This one was his own design, he told me so. It will be interesting to see how it plays out, even fi we don't win."

"Now now, lets not have any negative thoughts about losing. I only want positive thoughts from here on out." He gives a soft laugh.

Joanna laughed and tossed her head then continued forward once more.
"Oh, I have no intention of losing, ser. I meant only that we msut be prepared for the possibility. It would be exceedingly arrogant of us to discount the capabilities of our opponents, would it not?"

"Arrogant it may be, but i have found that the more one thinks positively is the more one is capable of succeeding. But on a much lighter note that doesn't question our arrogance of being overly zealous, how do you think everyone else is fairing in this place."

"Well enough, I'm sure. I thought we were supposed to be attacked. I don't see anything, do you?"

"I agree it has been strangely quiet, maybe they are scared to attack on the account being given a beating with that sword." He motions towards her hand holding the sword.

Joanna tossed her head and laughed.
"Maybe. You think they do not like the idea of being beaten by a woman?"

Hope you all are well and happy.
