[QUOTE="muggie2, post: 5815762, member: 6681636"] Roy is rather embarrassed by the praise he is receiving. He is no stranger to fighting, nobody who worked in the mines was a stranger to that. Hardworking men liked to drink, hard drinking men liked to fight. Mostly it was just brawling, fists, tankards, and an occasional chair, and sometimes, though rarely, if things got really serious, someone might pull a knife. Dangerous, that. Anything short of that could be excused as high spirits - pay repair costs, pay a fine, whatever. Knives, though, were serious weapons. Law took a dim view of that. Roy had always been careful to avoid that kind of thing. He'd never killed anyone. Still hadn't. He'd put the clansman he'd hit down for the count, but still alive. Now they were going to hang the clansman, and it was orders of the Vantri. His lord. His house. But somehow, being congratulated for it felt, well, hollow. He'd never killed before. Nobody he'd had fought had ever died. Until now. Roy tries to make his way to Ser Jarl. He'd seen him fight, not much, but he'd caught the movement from the corner of his eye while he'd been fighting. No time to watch during the fight, but he'd have had to be blind to miss it completely, and afterwards, well, the bodies on the ground were testament to his skills. Ser Jarl is surrounded by men praising his actions and skills. And justly so - his actions had all but ended the attack, and his skills could be judged by the bodies. Roy thought he could see some reservations in Ser Jarl's eyes though, some doubt. Maybe he was imagining it, maybe not. In any case, he needed to talk to him. He waited for a gap in the talk, a chance to get a word in. "Ser Jarl, when you have time, can I speak to ye?" [/QUOTE]
