The faces of the hall were foreign as you sought a breakfast of fried egg and bacon so black it may as well be ash, even this early men at arms, servants, sellswords and squires were abundant in the hall, it made for noisy company but but you shared it in silence, it made for better company than the troubles that nipped at you in the silence.

The thought made you bristle a touch, you were of majority and you would be knighted no doubt soon after, to still be called a child left you prickly.
