Baelor squeezing into Valarr's armour and failing is PEAK I fear. Pudgy tummy Baelor rights.
Baelor doesn't fit in Valarr's armour part 1.5 because I love an ask
He's spending too much time sat behind the desk in the hand's solar. Baelor has know that for a while, that the work of the realm is taking up more and more of his time, and he's spending less and less time in the training yard.
He's not lost his fitness entirely! When he does have time to train, he trains hard, often sparing with the kingsguard, and Maekar when he visits the red keep.
Maekar does not often visit the red keep.
And Baelor is too often busy.
He's gone soft, he realises with a growing despair, as Valarr's chainmail won't pull down over his stomach.
And sure, his armour also won't sit right on Baelor's shoulders, too broad and muscled at the chest still for a young untried boys armour to possibly fit. He could have lived with that. The fact that his stomach (and his arse! The indignity!) doesn't fit is a more upsetting fact.
He takes a deep breath, acknowledges to himself that he's getting old, and takes Valarr's teasing with good grace.
He's still a little self-conscious, but don't worry! Dunk will fix that! (in part 3)
