Thomas smiled slightly at Jezin's interest in joining the tournament, "The tournament director will be present at the feast tomorrow, and you can declare yourself a contestant then, in front of him." Thomas replied, still holding his smile. Thomas had spent most of his life competing in tournaments, starting when he was 17 back in Alinor. Thomas had mastered the art of jousting, having yet to be unhorsed, although he had lost a few tilts. Archery had never been something he had tried, but dueling was also something he succeeded at quite frequently. The style in which he was taught to fight was designed for single combat, after all, "King Bard II has picked out a special wing of the Palace for the foreign royalty that is visiting, in order for them to have lodging more appropriate to their status, if you'd like me to show you to your rooms." Thomas spoke, now turning his attention back to Sophia, "I'm sure after such a long journey, that Your Grace would appreciate a comfortable room." Thomas added, smiling slightly to Sophia.
