<span class="mu-i">“I owe my life to the Almighty, and to those brave men. Every day I must do my best to honour their memory and sacrifice.”</span> From the way the young knight talks, you surmise that he had made his peace with death that day. Perhaps he no longer views his life as his own to live, and he is quick to find an excuse to change the focus of the conversation back to you. <span class="mu-i">“But what of your own trials, Sir Andrei? I had heard something of your exploits with a dread creature on the Kingsroad ahead of us, but you must have quite a few tales of your own worth the telling since the Motte-Fallavon Festival.”</span>
The young knight’s deference appears genuine rather than indulging, so you happily oblige as best you can. You are careful not to stray to arenas where your oath of secrecy might clash with your oath to never utter a falsehood. It’s hardly necessary, upon reflection your pilgrimage has been a lively endeavour indeed and by the end of eveningmass Sir van Brooksvale is much impressed with your achievements.

While Brother Jesaul got little attention, the Sir Cedrics were a close enough runner up to warrant another bite at the cherry. Or anons could double down on Sir van Brooksvale
>Bristling with excitement, you find the prospect of sleep impossible right now. You will head to bed in a few hours, certainly. But for now as the hall empties and candles are lit you pass your waking hours in the company of other knights similarly disinclined to an early bedtime, who speak more freely as the numbers present dwindle. [Sir Cedrics]
>While you may have met men elevated to knighthood by virtue of their service in the Roiguard, Sir van Brooksvale is the first you have come to know who was knighted for valour on the battlefield. You are determined to recruit him if possible, either as a future companion or enlist him in Father’s service before winter comes. [Sir van Brooksvale]
>The journey here has been long, the day hot. Chapter Master Callahan’s instruction for a good night’s rest is a welcome command. Although the Long Walk is still a few days away, you are determined to be well-rested when you pay homage to the Salve Sanctum tomorrow morning. [Rest]
