*late in the evening, after events of the day
Lord Alliser showed up in support of his brother. He had been knocked out during the first round to prince Maekar and had spent the rest of the day watching the jousts. He swept through the crowd, giving praise to people's battle plans or laughing at follies when he sees the man whom he was seeking, looks like Ronald is speaking to the wounded hero as well the darkened room lit by candles caused the small brick stitched embroidery backdrop to the cross-stitched black Fox to glint cheerfully.
"Ser Mikel, Ser Roland, it is a pleasure to see you again."

Mikel looked up and upon recognizing Alliser he smiled and greeted him.
"It is good to see you again so soon, Lord. And congratulations on the victory of your champion. I was very surprised to see him take the field and happy to see his victory. Though the behavior of the Brute was perfectly in line with everything I have come to know about him. I hope your day has been a good one?" |

"indeed the seven saw fit to provide a champion of great skill to teach the brute the error of his ways, "he announced loud enough to be heard by those gathered, in a quieter volume he continues, "but I doubt that is the last I have seen from him. And I heard your jousts went well, this it's good news. I know you had some concerns about competing after the state that Otho left you in yesterday."

"Aye, certainly. I'd say a man who isn't aware of himself is no help to anybody and for all the bad one can say of the brute he certainly came close to achieving his intentions that day. My jousts had gone well though and I hope the trend will continue into at least the fourth and fifth rounds. Dare I say into the finals themselves?" He gives a half-hearted smile and lifts one hand to the side of his head. "Lord, may I ask who you will be representing in the recreation?" |

"I believe I will be throwing my lot in with the dornish and my brother. Although my son in law is supporting the reach if I remember correctly, along with his brother the Redtusk."

Mikel allows a smile to play across his face. "I will also be representing the Dornish, Lord. I fear I had not done so well as I expected to earlier but maybe I had not embarrassed myself completely. Everybody has been quite understanding that I might not be thinking as clear as I usually am." His expression suddenly turns curious. "I have never been a part of a battle recreation. How will this go?" |

"I too shall fight for the Dornish, after all, the knights and armsmen of Starfall were worthy of respect during the war and fought with skill and honour. Such made the tactics of their countrymen all the more shameful."

"My Lord is correct," said Ser Parmen entering the conversation. "I look forward to participating in the battle as a member of the Army of the Reach. I promise you that we intend to deal with our defeated opponents with all of the honor and that they deserve," he said with a smile.
Turning to Mikel his face goes serious. "Ser I would not fear being embarrassed. The Brute hit you with a blow that would have killed a lesser man. You are a brave knight to return to the jousts so soon and yet you have proven victorious. Your performance has been a credit to your house."

"Happy to hear we will share a side, Ser Roland." Mikel says when Roland reveals the side he will represent. When Ser Parmen enters the conversation Mikel enjoys his light heartedness and laughs along with the others. When Ser Parmen compliments him Mikel responds graciously and with an attempt at humor. "Thank you for the kind words Sir. I couldn't handle the thought of giving Otho the satisfaction of seeing me removed from the lists so you could say despite his best efforts he gave me the strength to continue."
"We have not formally met, Ser. I am Ser Mikel of Harroway in service to House Starkwood." He thinks that he knows who the man is but he would rather not prove himself wrong. |

"Ser Parmen Redwyne. Lord Alliser is my lord and good father. I am glad that you were able to deny the Brute. If his actions at this tourney are anything to go by then he deserves more disappointments in his life."
Turning to Ser Roland who has remained silent through most of the conversation. "Ser Roland, well met. It has been too long." {OOC: I'm making an assumption here that they have met before, but it seems like a logical one given the friendship between Ser Roland and Redtusk, Parmen's brother.}. "You have had an eventful past few days."

"Indeed, it would be good to band together then, Ser Mikel? I doubt that the brute would be one to let an opportunity to stick a sword in one of us go, now that we have made ourselves known to Otho." He turns towards Ser Roland, "maybe we can join your troop of knights?"

Mikel looks from Lord Alliser to Roland and back. "True enough that he would be likely to take advantage of such a situation, and I cannot help but to assume the worst and think that if he does come he may not come alone." The thought seems to strike Mikel as he says it and he considers something before continuing. "Banding together is not a bad idea. I would like to speak with others from my Lord's House and see what they intend to do as well. Perhaps then we can all figure something out together?" He once more looks between Roland and Alliser. |

Alliser nods, "you can never be too careful of a brute. He looked to be selling the death of Ser Daemon, even though he ostensibly supports him." The goateed Lord confirms.

Mikel nods his head in agreement. "Do you believe he will be permitted to continue in the events of the tournament? I would like to think his behavior will have some consequence beyond how people feel about him."
Mikel's thoughts drift back to the beginning of the conversation. "You had mentioned your brother will be joining the Dornish as well Lord, I have not had the pleasure of meeting him. I have heard he has been competing in the joust but I have not given very much attention outside of my personal involvement and what I have heard from others. How is he faring in his contests?" |

Alliser nods, "I have little reason to believe that he will be stopped. He still had his Spurs, and even with an injury I don't that will stop him."
Alliser smiles at the mention of how brother, "Aladale has done quite well, still in the tournament." which is surprising, due to his skills lying in other pursuits.
