Practical Squiring, Thursday

"The Others take this heat," Jaime said, digging at his collar with his left hand. So, perhaps full armor with the slightly less white thanks to Fandom cloak had not been the best of ideas. But, a man had to look the proper knight, did he not?

"Welcome," he said, louder now. "I am Ser Jaime Lannister of the King's Guard and I will be teaching you the duties of a squire. But first I would like to know your name and house--" He eyed a familiar sigil for a moment. "If you have one at all. I would also like to know why you have decided to take this class so that we don't waste time on those who lack the commitment necessary for the role."

There was a fair number of girls in the class, which made the corner of his mouth turn up into a grin. Oh, the wench would have loved this.

"Who will be first?"

And Stannis's face managed to express even more concern. Jaime Lannister, son of Lord Tywin and Lady Joanna, grandson of Tytos, so on and so forth, was thirteen years old. This man was practically ancient.

"Tell me," he said, jumping to the only conclusion that made any logical sense to him. "Are the Lannisters in Westeros aware that there are grown men in far-flung lands impersonating their young sons?"

...Not much logical sense, but it was all he had.

"Well aware!" Considering how few remained...

Stannis narrowed his eyes. "I highly doubt that."

Technically, if they were talking about his Westeros, they wouldn't know, so...
