"No brother, we cannot afford to lose even a single man. The war may be over, but the battle of houses has just begun. You will earn their loyalty, or I will find someone who can." Belric had not intended to scold Tallahar, despite how the words came out. He had worked hard and made sacrifices to retain as many armed men as he could, to dismiss them now would be pointless.

Tallahar seemed to stand up straighter, "Yes yes of course brother. I meant I .... I" He seemed to have lost what he was going to say, "It doesn't matter. I'll lead them. Again thank you for this honour brother."

"It pleases me to hear that," Belric smiled, having always held respect for his bastard brother. "I apologize in advance for your office."

Symon stands off to the side of the yard, he is currently instructing some of the new recruits and having them spar with each other. He yells at one man in particular who seems to be more interested in showboating then actually fighting.

Belric walked onto the pitch, he had been feeling stiff lately and needed a bit of exercise. It was good to see Symon disciplining the men, memories of battle encampments came flooding back.
"Symon, good day." Belric said walking up next to him. "Can I interest you in a little training?"

"If you feel the need for some one on one attention, I can spare some time for you mi'lord." He sets the men up with some drills that would keep them busy for awhile before turning to his half-brother. "What sort of training you have in mind." He asks pleasantly.

"I wish to keep my sword arm strong, brother. So perhaps we can start there and see where a bit of sparring takes us." Belric rotated his right shoulder, swinging his arm over his head to loosen it up for the workout.

"We shall see if I can do something for you there." Symon tells his brother. "First lets see where you are at then." He says motioning towards the crate of practice weapons and armor.

Berlic followed Symon's lead, picking a training sword from the crate that was similar in length and weight to the sword of his father. He planted his feet in fighting stance, raising his sword over his head to signal his readiness.

Symon picked up another sword like that of Belric's to get some practice with the same fighting style. Once Belric was ready to begin Symon lifted his own sword and signaled the start of the bout.
Skills:
Belric: two handed sword: 85 Symon matches

The two brothers circle each other and move in. Symon shows why he was given his post in short order, taking advantage of the first misstep in Belric's footwork to ring his bell and send him to the dirt.

Belric propped himself up on one knee, his training sword dug into the ground. He shook his head, trying to rattle free the ringing that was in his ears. "Well fought, brother. It is good to see you have not been lacking for practice. After a blow to my ego like that, you can expect to see me around your yard more frequently."

/////////////////// 25th day, 2nd moon
Qhorin and the builders, along with a smattering of peasants, wait in flow stone yard. They had been instructed by a Blackfort that a militia would be trained, so they waited for the attention of Ser Symon.

Symon Rivers wasn't long in coming. He looked over the group of peasant with a trained eye to see if this crazy idea would even work. "Welcome to training, a remedial course in how to use weapons so you can defend Harrentown and your lives from any and all threats against you." He calls out to them loudly. "I hope since you are here, that this sort of thing will interest each and every one of you."

"Surviving always been right intersting to me" mutters Qhorin to one of the others. He raises his voice to address the knight. "sounds bout right. What's remedial mean?"
