Lord Alliser was waiting in a comfortable white linen doublet. Careful observers of fashion might recognize the the style drew inspirations from the same place that his niece's gown was from, but it did not seem to perturb Alliser in the least. During sunny days such as this, it is foolish to sweat under what is prudent in the vale, they do not have the sun that the Dornish do. When the weather is Dornish, best dress accordingly.
As the announcements come rolling in the tourney Master finally reports Aladales competitor. Alliser looks over to see his brothers brow furrow in concern. Soon after he hears the herald announce, "Prince Maekar and Lord Alliser, in field vert, fifth match!" The Herald continues onward but Lord Allisers mouth drops open, I am going to be jousting prince Maekar? He looks over to his brother and catches his eye, giving a 'let's have a talk' he makes his way over towards his brother.

Aladale looked over to his brother approaching, his face mirroring his own emotions. Without a word, he took his brother by his shoulder and led him over to a less crowded part of the Tourney Grounds.
"The luck of the Levalle's huh? Somebody is screwing us over that is for sure. I'll visit that Tourney Master once this is over, that no good son of a bitch will have to provide some answers!"
He was getting angrier with every word.

Lord Alliser snorts in agreement, "I doubt that we got matched this way purely randomly. The question is why? My guess, is that Lord Leo is none to pleased the 'fucking Levalle's' took the white stag down before he could. Or it could be one of the other hunting parties, but from what I heard they were not nearly miffed enough to strike at us this way."

Aladale shook his head.
"No brother, to me this smells like something older. Maybe the hunt has relit a fire that was only smoldering before. But the first spark was caused long before this Tourney. I am sure it is one of the older houses that is not too happy with the way we handled our lands and our house ever since the time of our grandfather and before..."

Lord Alliser nods, "I trust your judgement in this brother. I have been too long gone from the courts and jousting circuits of the Reach. If it is so we must find out if they only seek to disgrace us, or if there is something more sinister in the plotting..." scratching his neck the lavender lord looked around, then lowering his voice he says, "Regyn will be looking into Lord Jon's assassination as well. Ser Donnel will be asking a Maester about the poison used as well. Perhaps I can see if he has time to look into this as well."
"in any case, this is a way for me to gain and audience with the prince. Perhaps I can make a favorable impression on him during the ransom exchange." He does not mention the fact that it would likely be Alliser having to ransom back his horse and armor.

"I might have to talk to Regyn this afternoon. Maybe he can give me a hand", he looked at the crowd around them before continuing: "It does not matter what the reason is, such things should not happen without us knowing. In times like these information is the most valuable of goods.
Have you planned any meetings with Bloodraven or any other of the Crown's supporters? I think we should start to act on our plan discussed yesterday... the sooner the better"
That was his brother, only he would expect a negative result from the beginning and already think about the good aspects of it.
"Let us ride first before we plan our defear and the Seven know, maybe we get lucky and advance a round", the last sentence he said with a smile on his lips.

Alliser gives a wolfish grin back to his brother, "indeed, maybe the seven have other plans for us." He extends his hand and forearm towards his brother, "I have to get ready fairly soon. I hope Albion is bushing Daisy out, but the good news is that our bouts should be far enough apart that I will be able to watch yours." He looks around at the gather crowd of knights and lords, "And I imagine you have some mingling you would like to do before you have to ready for your joust."

"Good luck brother! What better way is there to convince a Prince that you are on his side than to knock him out of his Royal saddle!"
And with a more serious tone he added:
"Take care, your family still needs you!"
