Summary
Mat's sparring match with Galad and Gawyn happens in front of an audience, drawing Elayne's attention.
Trouncing a couple of princes in front of all those novices and suchlike… it had felt good for a solid minute.
Less good when all the novices and Accepted had gone over to coo at Galad and Gawyn for being so brave and completely ignored the man who’d delivered said trouncing.
“Are you pouting?”
Mat glared at Elayne, who was smiling.
A smile a bit too genuine for him to be able to hold his glare.
“Doesn’t seem fair, is all,” he muttered.
“They used to do this every summer when we came for a visit,” Elayne said, and Mat found himself feeling an unwilling sympathy. “Since they were old enough to impress any of the ladies, anyway. They’re already well-known here. You didn’t have a chance.”
