Thomas nodded, indicating he was in the melee, "I won't be fighting until after the next round of jousts. They'll do one match of the melee, then do two rounds of the joust, then once more do a round of melee. I won't be fighting in the melee for a while." Thomas replied, with a smile. "Don't worry, I have plenty of time to rest, and this isn't my first tournament." Thomas added, with a small chuckle. He never had time to relax, as of late, and sitting here relaxing in a chair, enjoying the company of Gareth, was the closest he had gotten to complete relaxation for a while now. Thomas stood up slightly, before going straight back down in his chair. Thomas almost smiled to himself as he did so. He was still a little too sore to move, a growing sign that the 20 years of tournament had taken a severe physical toll on his body. Maybe Gareth was right, relaxation would be a must if Thomas was too win the tournament.
