"That is kind of you, I am sure we can put it to great use. Perhaps when we get to Winterfell you can show me how you won." He states.

Edric turns to Lorraine, "My lady, you are too kind. I am glad you have kept the swords. You deserved a memento of your accomplishment as well."
Edric grinned at Wilhelm, "A tussle with old Lord Stark ey? Well if that wouldn't make me feel like a child again I don't know what would. You're on, wolf." Edric laughed.

"Oh, Ser Edric! I did not accomplish so much as you think. Second place out of three, Master Crowl deserves your congratulations, not I. He's around here, somewhere."

He laughed back. "I see, only a month in kings landing and your already getting accustom?" He looks to Lorraine. "Oh, is that so? And any one take your hand, Lady Lorraine?" He asked before nodding at the chance to fight.

Edric laughed "Your performance was worthy of praise regardless, my lady. Have confidence, your skills with a bow are strong. There are some Gold Cloaks that only dream to shoot as well." he nodded then turned to Wilhelm.
"I suppose I have been settling in. I was granted a manse by the King himself. An honor my family has never had before. But do not think I've lost my northern ways. I am well aware that Winter is coming my Lord." Edric gave a slight grin.

"Ser Cedric Tarly rode with my favor. He won the joust," she thought back to the tourney, and how excited she had been. "I imagine I am the only Queen of Love and Beauty to ever get second place in archery." She laughed.
"Thank you again, Ser Edric. I have practiced since I was knee high...but never for anything other than leisure. I am sure your Goldcloaks would fare better than I in a real fight."

Suddenly bolts play though the air hitting the side of Aelinors carriage, some hit some goldcloaks and others take out Brynden Tullys Horse sending him to the ground.

Edric reigns up his horse as one of the Gold Cloaks attempts to bring Ser Brynden back to his feet.
He yells "PRINCESS! WILLHELM CHECK ON THE PRINCESS" as he corrals his men to the outer perimeter of the group to protect the nobles inside.

As Lorraine finished speaking, the crossbow bolts rained down on them. She heard screams, then realised she herself had screamed. She bent down over her horse, trying to minimize herself, to be less obvious. She heard Edric yelling, and prayed Aelinor was alright.

Aelinor was awakened to the sound of something hitting the wagon. There were sounds outside of screaming men and horses. "Oh no, Lorraine", she gathered herself closer into the wagon,"If I stay hidden maybe they won't find me." The princess began to pray softly,"Pleas Gods help us make it to Winterfell and whatever evil has befallen us, may the Warrior, the Maiden and The Smith protect us."

Wilhelm jumps from his horse taking Lorraine and taking her down from her horse running over to the carriage, pulling the door open and putting her inside.
"Stay with the princess...use a bow if you can..." He said to her before unsheathing his large greatsword.

Falling off his horse, Felric swears as he slaps his horses side and runs to the middle of the group. Opening the carriage door, he gives his wooden bow and ten arrows to Lorraine. "Time for another competition Lion, "he said with a grimace "this one you better not miss." Climbing to the top of the carriage, he gets a good view of what's going on. He draws hist first shot.

Aelinor is surprised when the door is opened and Lord Stark put Lorraine inside. "What is going on?!" She looked at Lorraine, her eyes big violet orbs, afriad as she trembled beneath the fur covers.

Countless Mountain men run down from the trees and hills waving swords and slings. Edric makes it to the gold cloaks who wait for commands. Their leader a large seven foot brute of a man steps in front of Wilhelm with a large double sided battleaxe. Felric begins to find a spot to support by arrow fire and Lorraine and Aelinor need to choose what to do.

Lorraine felt herself lifted from her horse, and almost screamed, until she realized it was Lord Stark. She relaxed, until he deposited her in the carriage with the frightened Princess. "It's bandits, Aelinor. Just stay quiet. I don't think they'll guess that its the youngest Targaryen in here."
Lorraine peered out of the doorway, taking the weapons offered by Felric. "I will do as well as I can, Master Crowl." She stayed shielded on her left side by the door of the cart, but began to test the draw on the bow before nocking and preparing to fire.
