Balon had come to watch his friend duel. He'd offered his blade to Lord Karl but figured the brash young lord would never allow someone else to fight in his stead. When the opponent was revealed to be Ser Roland and not Ser Rennifer Balon was shocked. I thought for sure Lady Kyra would want Karl's head on a platter. I wonder what, or better yet who, changed her mind. For all of Karl's skill Balon knew Roland was the superior opponent. For a moment Balon wished he'd been the one to face Roland. How I'd love to knock that sanctimonious ass into the mud. But if I fight him and lose his ego would grow until he had to turn sideways to fit through a door. If I win and he is injured everyone will say I did it on purpose. No, I'll watch and learn and hope we cross paths in the Grand Melee. The moment passed and the desire faded.
The joust itself was short lived. Karl went crashing to the ground and clutched his arm. Balon found himself praying to the Seven for Karl's health. As he walked off the grounds cradling his arm Balon approached him, "There better not be any permanent damage to that sword arm of yours or there'll be hell to pay." Balon was half serious, half joking trying to raise Karl's spirits. "The good news is I may be able to finally beat you in arm wrestling." he resisted the urge to slap him on the back in camaraderie and instead let the lord take his leave. "If you need anything from me let me know, my lord."
Balon's smile left his face as Karl left. Turning he saw Roland talking to Lady Kyra. He quietly mocked Roland in a high-pitched voice, "Blah blah blah honor. Meh meh meh chivalry." Balon spit on the ground and walked away.

Bathed after his well attended joust with Lord Willum, Roland met Lady Lysette's summons.
At least his hair dried quickly now that it was little more than stubble. Such was the best that could be said for it.
"Lady Starling," said Roland with a bow.

EDIT: Is Arlan Green really Yelshire's champion? The cast thread has him as the champion of House Varner.[/quote] True, though Lady Varner wants him to go, and Lord Yelshire would sign up anyway so it all works out.
