It had been a few months since he had left Winterfell to head south. His father had given him the basics of a hedge 'knight' though there were few knights in the north. He had been given, a shield, a bastard sword to the amusement of Theon, a horse, and a pouch of gold stags. Jon had used the rest to buy some basic things for his travels through the hedges. Now Jon was heading to Ashford for a tourney. Jon was placing the pieces of rabbit into the broth when the hedge knights approached. The stout one with bronze colored armor raised his hand in greeting and called out, "Hail! Are you heading to the tourney in Ashford as well?" Jon looked up from his stirring and nodded warily. The hedge knight grinned and beckoned his tall, lanky companion forward. "Do you mind if we share a meal with you? I am Darren the Bronze and this is my companion, Ser Bryen." Jon looked at the other one, who looked to be quite wary. Jon gave one more fleeting glance and then beckoned the two forward. The stout one grinned and took his horse forth to the tree where Jon's destrier was tied. The second one gave him a look of interest and then nudged his cream colored palfrey forward. The stout one took a seat on the log nearby and cleared his throat. Jon looked up. "What's your name, then?" Jon paused for a moment, thinking of a good name. After a few moments, he responded, "I am the Knight of Sweetsong." In that time the lanky one had taken a seat and began to speak. "Knight of Sweetsong, eh? Never heard of you before." Jon nodded his head in agreement. "I have not participated in many tourneys." The lanky one seemed still curious, but accepted the answer alongside a ladleful of stew into his bowl.=. The stout one grinned and beckoned for a ladleful as well. "Well, ah, Ser Jon, i will be quite glad to see you on the field. Perhaps we will clash lances upon one another." Jon nodded his head and allowed a smile to creep across his face as the stout fellow began to tell tales of the tourney at Fairmarket. Yes, this will be an interesting ordeal.
