"I'd rather be too good... than not good enough... think nothing of it...." he wheezed.

"Ah... Jon... good of you to join us," he said straightening himself up despite obvious physical pain. "Ser Tomas was just instructing me in a lesson in humility."

Tomas nodded, "Your brother is a very good spearman. But I recommend he study the Dornish techniques. They are quicker. In the north, spears are largely wasted being set for charges. That is good, but it can be so much more."

"Ah interesting, I'm only passingly capable. The swords and my hands are my main weapons." Since Rhaella had not seemed to show up he decided to take up his time with training himself, "So a friendly bout then?"

"Brother there is no need to hide your pain in front of me." He turns to Tomas upon hearing his remark. "I will have to agree with that statement. I fear that those not of Dorne believe that spears are nothing more then just a wall against a charge, and this saddens me somewhat due to knowing that spears can be used for much more."

Tomas nodded, "There is a weapon for every situation. I find it disheartening that too many men focus on one weapon to the exclusion of all others. I think it makes them poor knights for it. But spears are good." He smiled and patted Ser Robert on the shoulder.

The maester awoke Maryn with smelling salts, and bore him on a stretcher.
