[Day 6 R. 5] Athelstan Pyke vs. Ser Bryndon Hightower

[Athelstan]

Athelstan curses his luck and a certain someone that he looks fiercely at I'll shave your mustache with an axe one day... yet not surprised, the greenlanders wanted him out of the race, he had humiliated them more than enough getting to the final 8 jousters in the tourney, with only hope and luck by his side he picks up the lance and lowers his helmet visor raising his lance to salute his opponent and let him know he is ready to begin.

Ser Bryndon, the famed champion of Hightower is unusual for a Reachman in that he favours the axe over the lance.

Nevertheless, the powerfully built knight represents an intimidating foe, glad in Hightower green and riding a pure white destrier.

Athelstan takes a moment to recover after he stands up from such force, and turns to look at his shield on the floor, with great surprise at the damage it has taken "
Ser Bryndon, a true honor to be bested by someone with such skill and force"
Athelstan bowing in true respect to the man, giving him his other hand to shake as the pain from hi arm shield is evident "
I hope you win Ser Bryndon"

[OOC: missed the stay in saddle fail!]

Ser Bryndon wheels, ready for another pass that never comes.

He rides over, taking Athelstan's hand, seemingly unsure on the knightly thing to do - here stands a kinslayer, but a man who has ridden nobly and offered sincere congratulations.

"
If this is how you fight from horseback, few men if any can be your equal on a ship's deck."


"
Well fought."

[Athelstan]

"
You do me great honor Ser with those words, I'm underserving"
Athelstan bows deeply "
I hope next time I'm on your side, and not on the other side of your lance"
chuckling "
Well fought Ser Bryndon, I' wish you the best and hope you win"
