Thirty minutes later, the court had gathered around in the yard outside. Everyone had moved towards the walls, clearing a wide space in the centre of the yard. Across him stood Roose Ryswell wearing an arming doublet underneath a half-plate. On top was a surcoat emblazoned with the black horse head of his House. He was armed with a longsword and a kite shield. Jon was wearing only his chainmail and gambeson despite the protests of the Blackfish. He saw no point in putting all of his armour into a fight that would hardly last more than half a minute.
