The Maiden And Her Knight (2001) - Plot & Excerpts
Demetrius, likewise used to battle, also waited patiently, with only the flicking of his ears to betray any anxiety or excitement. Despite his seeming unconcern, Connor was aware of many things, not the least of which was the weight of his weapons and armor. His helm alone weighed ten pounds, his chain mail hauberk considerably more. His dull tournament broadsword dragged at the belt about his waist and slapped his thigh. His long, bossed shield covered his left arm and side, and he held the reins in that hand, leaving his right free to control the heavy, unwieldy lance. Made with a blunted tip, it pointed upward, and he rested the arm holding it against his body. He mentally ran through everything to remember about a charge with a lance. The two most important were grip hard with his knees and maintain his balance. Once Demetrius was galloping toward the opposing line, staying seated and maintaining his equilibrium must be his focus. If he lost his balance by leaning too far forward or back, he could fall from his horse without even touching an opponent.
