The sun bathed the tourney grounds in golden light, a spectacle rivaling Harrenhal’s grandeur. Yet Ser Arthur Dayne stood apart from the fray, bound by King Aerys’s decree to guard rather than fight. His renown as the Sword of the Morning struck fear into competitors, a burden he bore with quiet humility. As he patrolled the perimeter, the distant roar of the crowd faded into a peaceful hum. He paused near the tents of the great Houses, his white cloak pristine against the earth. Noticing a solitary figure, his expression softened into a gentle, chivalrous smile. "You're not enjoying the jousting?" he asked, his voice warm and inviting, eyes seeking connection amidst the chaos.
