"I'm a guardsmen at heart," Brandon replied, "We have a keen dislike for masks."

"I do too, though deception seems to be a required skill to live at court. Were it that all could live honestly. People like us tend not to do well though, do we?"

"You can always live honestly," Brandon replied, "Its just not everyone wishes to bear the consequences of that, which are mighty."

"Do you live honestly, Lord Commander?"
Elsey absent-mindedly traced a circle in the ground with her foot, her eyes not leaving Brandon's.

"I like to think that I try," he replied.

"A guarded answer indeed. Better than most though," said Elsey, thoughtfully.
"If you would entertain a rather whimsical question, Lord Commander?"

Brandon nodded, "If you like." he replied.

"Yes." Brandon said meaningfully, "Absolutely."

Elsey was genuinely surprised by his answer.
"May I ask what you would change?"

Brandon thought for a moment and sighed, "I"m afraid I'd prefer you didn't," He said after awhile.

"As you say, Lord Commander," Elsey replied with a slow nod, seeming to understand. "Please forgive me for being intrusive. I am often told I ask too many questions."
She glanced around the yard, then back the Brandon;
"I hope I am not keeping you from anything important. I would offer for you to join me, but my weapon is not very forgiving, even in a friendly spar. It is not really made for pulling blows."

Brandon smiled, "I would be willing to risk it, though not without my helm on," he chuckled.

"Well, shall we then? I am willing, if you are. I have grown rather out of practice, due to my convalescence, so perhaps you will not be in much danger at all," she laughed, playfully hefting the head of the flail between her hands, most of the chain still would around her right hand and forearm.

Brandon nodded and placing his great helm on, tightened the straps of his plate mail, and saluted with the blunted sword.

Elsey unwound the chain from her arm, and held it taut between her hands, the majority of it's length dangling from her right hand. She bowed deeply to the Lord Commander, then began to swing the flail into a slow, deliberate circle, held tightly to her side, her stance fluid, ready to spring into action.

Elsey lashed out with the heavy iron ball, and Brandon side-stepped and slashed. Elsey jumped free of the blade's point, and brought the ball back around aiming for the back of Brandon's knee. Brandon parried with his sword, and the chain wrapped around the blade. Elsey laughed triumphantly and tried to rip the blade from his hand. But Brandon was stronger than she, and he grasped the blade in his both hands and began to yank her towards him. She lost her footing and stumbled, and Brandon brought the hilt of his blade to her throat, pantomining a strike to her temple.
"A good match," he said, "That is a very tricky weapon you have there."

"Thank you, Lord Commander. Well done!" Elsey responded, breathlessly, clambering back to her feet. "You are, as expected, a formidable force!"
Her smile was genuine and warm as she grinned up at him, but her head darted to one side as Trajan's perfunctory cough indicated that she had to leave. When she looked back to Brandon, her smile had dissipated, replaced by something between fear and sorrow, though her voice merely became more staid;
"I must take my leave now, Lord Commander. Thank you for the spar, and the conversation. Very... enlightening."

Brandon eyed Trajan with undisguised contempt and nodded, before returning to his training.

Elseyris, also suffering from lack of sleep, had traipsed downstairs, and followed the sound of combat. After her spar with the Lord Commander, she had been scolded by the maester about not giving her ankle proper rest, so she had merely come to watch. She studied the fight before her coolly, leaning on her crutch.

Daenerys arrived at the yard, having sent a messenger for Trajan Waters about half an hour ago to meet her there.

Trajan arrived promptly, dragging his charge along with him.
"Lady Velaryon." he said in greeting. "Just when the boredom was becoming maddening, you invitation arrives. A good portent, if there ever was one."

Dany greeted them and gave Trajan's "charge" a dubious glance, unaware of anything going on there. She noticed her limp. "Oh, are you unwell?" she asked Elseyris. A few seconds later it dawned on her that a lot of girls would probably be unwell if they were being forced to marry a Knight Inquisitor. That would not explain the limp, however.

Injured myself... Training..." replieid Elseyris, awkwardly. It wasn't terribly convincing, but she certainly couldn't tell the truth, especially not with the culprit right next to her. "I hope you are well, My Lady." |
