Bahorel, though,is entirely someone to be himself, and he has a near constant chatter with Brienne as they move through the attack repeatedly, trading places as defender and attacker. Some of it's nonsensical pretend-insults,when he's playing the part of a drunken troublemaker (such a stretch! but he somehow rises to the challenge) , or, as the excercise goes on, trying to get her to break her concentration with ridiculous stories.

Finally he taps out after a full-speed turn, and bounces back up, grinning. "There, I think you have that one. We can try one with an underhand attack, next." Unless she wants to suggest something different?
