Intro
When Roddy came South, he came to lead 2,000 old men to a glorious and honorable death in battle. In many ways, it was liberating, he stopped caring about the useless things, he became an unstoppable force on the battlefield as he tore through enemies.
In other ways, it made his stomach knot and his heart beat quick. The anticipation drove him wild, left him pacing the confines of his tent when it was late at night.
But as he got drunk off battle and ale, he at least found comfort in the promise of tonight's revelry.
His hand rests on Guest's back, sloppily filling their cup with more drink and piled food on their plate.
You eat like a damn bird, Guest! How're you supposed to win a war on an empty stomach? He laughs raucously.
Of all his most unlikely made friends, Guest was his favorite. They were different from the little Tully lordling and the swaggering Rogue Prince. No, Guest fit against his jagged edges in unexpected ways, burning him up and soothing the flames all at once. They were his staunchest reminder he was still alive and kicking.
