The "afterparty" is rumored to be the real main event of the night. A black-tie affair in the lavish, opulent ballroom, it is every new Knight's chance to mingle and meet some of their new brothers in arms. Of course, a couple hours are provided following the ceremony for everyone to change, do hair and makeup, and choose from the vast array of formal attire in the closets of the balcony "dressing rooms" located at the top of spiraled staircases on either side of the ballroom. A separate dressing room exists for men and women, and they include full bathrooms (with, thankfully, very modern plumbing).

The squires are usually among the last to arrive, and the ballroom is full to the brim with a fancy array of people, of all shapes, sizes and species.

Hope none of you are shy. They're all here to meet you.

Feel free to make your own open threads for people to come congratulate your newly pledged knight.

Perhaps. But the reasons for dancing were not entirely dissimilar.

[ Arthur laughs at that, and drinks his drink. ]

And there's all the rest of it. There's so much pride and potential in a new kngiht.

[ He thinks of knighting ceremonies as an enjoyable part of his job — though some of his best knights never had a feast to call their own, he knows that much too. ]

[A fond look actually crosses his features as he looks across the gathered faces, running a thumb along the stem of his glass. A number of rings decorate the fingers on his hand, one of which is set with the curved dragon shape that serves as the Knight's symbol]

Yes, I think that's precisely it. The promise that each of our members brings with them, of the deeds they may accomplish, the ways they might grow. Who they may become.

[He turns a sparkling eye to Arthur, and the pride on his countenance is unmistakable] That can never grow dull.
