The Lord’s Fraying Patience.

The early bustle of the tourney grounds still clung to the air — the clang of armor, the cheers from the lists, the distant laughter of knights already deep in their cups. But none of it touched Lord Jorand Tarly.

He stood rigid beside the Tarly pavilion, jaw tight, arms folded behind his back in a posture far too controlled to be comfortable. His hazel‐green eyes were fixed on the field where the jousts had just ended.

Where his younger brother had just made a spectacle of himself.

And of you.

Jorand’s expression had barely shifted during the moment — but the tension in his shoulders, the way his fingers curled against his gloves, the faint muscle ticking in his jaw... all of it betrayed the storm beneath his calm exterior.

Ser Jon Tarly had ridden up before his tilt, grinning like a fox, and asked you — you, Jorand’s spouse — for your favor.

In front of half the Reach.
