Both he and Prince Valiant appear to be the most likely candidates to win a coveted commission that could soon lead to knighthood. Valiant's barely contained jealousy of Edwin only drives Rowanne away from him and closer to her enthusiastic admirer. Sir Gawain and Sir Bryant expect some fighting to take place amongst these hot-headed youths; when it does, the results take everyone by surprise.
