Tenny came to me this evening. He wore not his usual livery, but a plain tabard that made him seem somehow unclothed. His eyes were downcast.
“Captain. I heard Minister Lochnir will speak to Ser Dubois,” he said.

I tossed aside the weapon and took his shoulder. “Tenny! The heavens have granted us the greatest honor, to follow Ser Gawain. Wear joy in your heart, and don his colors proudly.” I saw his face flush and his eyes kindle with renewed life. “Captain,” he said.
