[A few days ago, the outcome of Grace's bet with Max was determined.]
His siblings might rarely dress the part, but the knight who enters the bar this evening is every inch a young Tortallan nobleman. His tunic is dyed a rich scarlet and has been perfectly tailored to fit his strong frame; his impeccably maintained sword is the best Raven Armory has to offer; and his boots, despite a rigorous afternoon in the training yards, are shining.
Thom takes pride in his appearance; for a knight in the Own's First Company to look unkempt would reflect badly on the king, and that is something he refuses to have on his shoulders.
He hasn't been back since that night, nor has he seen his sister. He wouldn't mind avoiding her a little longer, though he's decided to take his chances in favor of a good ale, a good book and a good spot by the fire. Thom might be particular, but give him just these three things and he is also quite easily pleased.
