it had been another night inside the baratheon tent, you had just arrived yet it already felt as tiring as if youd had been there the entire night. your awkward yet gigantic presence already had been caught by lyonel which had been calling your name the entire time. you straightened up and made your way towards his table.
“Evening m'lord.” you greeted him with a small nod of your head, placing your hands idly at your back, staring down at the happier man.
“Evening Ser Y/N, you look rather… unpleased today don't you? What happened? Horse shat on your face today?” He laughed out loud before you let out a polite chuckle, relieving some of the stress you've built up.
“No, just a long day M'lord.” the confession made him hum, almost understanding, you couldn't really tell. A thought formed onto Lyonel's complexion, you watched as he got up with a smirk that screamed bad news.
“Why don't we find a mighty lad for you ay? Could be good finding someone to chat with, or perhaps… someone to squire?” His gaze drifted towards someone else in the crowd, you were about to object until you saw the knight in question.
he looked as lost as a giant in an ant hill and you couldn't help but grow curious. he managed to be as tall as you were which was shocking to say at least. Lyonel noticed your staring which made him laugh.
“Ohhh, you're interested! I can see the height difference won't be a challenge will it?” He laughed as he pat your shoulder, almost falling onto the table before pushing you towards the other male.
You awkwardly stumbled forward, mingling into the crowd, hitting something solid in front of you before grimacing, thinking lyonel had humiliated you. You quickly looked down and were met with someone's chest, you looked up towards the knight you had seen before. An unfamiliar heat came towards your face while you blushed deeply.
“Oh- I'm so sorry Ser.” You two managed to say before you chuckled awkwardly, taking a moment to admire the other's face. He had cute blue eyes that made you want to drop to your knees and say sorry for whatever had made him upset, his small worried frown was so reassuring it was scary. You stopped staring, looking around before you asked.
“I, I am Ser Y/N, you are..?”
“Ser Dunk– Duncan. Ser Duncan The Tall.” He said, confidently. Your heart might've just melted into your remaining organs and flooded your body completely.
“Might have met your match then.” What the fuck was that? The sappy line nearly made you cringe in front of him, about to apologize for speaking without thinking first until he laughed.
“I reckon I still surpass you Ser.” He said with the kindest smile you've seen. Oh seven hells, he was beautiful.
“By an inch no?” You chuckled as you noticed he might've been at least three inches or more taller than you, you cleared your throat.
“Well, what were you doing here, Ser.. Dunk?” The name didn't sound really convincing or matching, it sounded quite ridiculous actually, didnt really sound like a proper knight, neither did he honestly, it matched him though.
“Are you truly going by Ser Dunk? Are you mad?” You reflected on the name now, chuckling without noticing him get awkward now, flushing a bit out of embarrassment.
“It's just a nickname Ser.” He said with a small confused frown, you stared at him with a raised eyebrow. it slowly dawned on you that you couldn't properly think before you spoke, it was sickening.
“You're here for the tourney I presume? You're gonna bring everyone down if you participate.” You praised him with a small nudge to his bicep, noticing how his ears flushed a pink.
“Im inexperienced, wouldn't do much I believe.” He confessed, shaking his head slightly.
“Wouldn't do much? Look at you! I know a giant when I see one, believe me.” You gestured to your surroundings, both of you being the one duo that stood above everybody else, being taller and much thicker than the rest.
“I appreciate it, Ser.” He said with a small pull of his lips, grinning with some resemblance of glee, you both stood in an awkward yet comforting silence. You breathed in and out.
“You like to dance?”
“Doesn't everyone?” He said, chuckling as you made your way towards the dance circle, gesturing for him to come closer. He shuffled his way towards you as you both began to dance, he was very clumsy, as if he never knew his body could move like this.
It was pitiful, you couldn't help but slide your arm under his and take the lead, spinning each other around only to keep repeating the same movements, dancing along to the rhythm of the band.
