Usage examples of jouster.

He had never seen a Jouster so close before, not even an Altan Jouster.

The Jouster finished his drink and dumped the rest of the bucket of water over his head without even bothering to take off his helmet, and the anger awoke again, at the wanton wastage of what had taken Vetch so long to haul.

The most he had hoped for was that Khefti would be too embarrassed to beat him in front of the Jouster, which would give Vetch a chance to explain himself.

Nor would he dare do anything further to Vetch while the Jouster was there, since the Jouster had so forcibly expressed his disapproval.

The dragon snorted again, and the Jouster looked up at it, then down at Khefti.

The Jouster pulled off his helmet, revealing a handsome, if melancholy face, square-jawed, with a great beak of a nose and high cheekbones, brown of eye, and black of hair, as all Tians.

He sounded a trifle irritated, then unexpectedly, the Jouster laughed.

No one can give you orders but your Jouster and me, unless Ari or I tell you otherwise.

If you have to choose between tending the dragon or the Jouster, there is no choice for you: tend the dragon.

Only a dragon boy, or at need, the Overseer or the Jouster will feed a dragon.

It would make sense that the Jouster would now prefer to find a boy who had no choice, who could not go elsewhere, except, perhaps, back to Khefti.

Vetch scrambled back out of the way, certain that the Jouster would find something wrong.

All of this would come tumbling down, and with a word the Jouster would send him back to Khefti, or at least order Haraket to beat him.

Haraket handed the lance back to Ari, and the Jouster set the lance into the socket at his belt, and took a firm grip on the handhold at the front of the saddle.

No, that task would have to be taken on by the Jouster who meant to fly that particular dragon.
