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.

[He turns to regard her, now that she's faced away, and there's a heavy pause for a moment before he says, simply:] Consider it forgotten.

[Which sounds so brusque and dismissive, but he doesn't think of it that way at all. If she really feels embarrassed by her behavior, and would rather it be dismissed, who is he who to begrudge her that? It's what she WANTS, isn't it?

He looks down at the floor, trying to think of something to say and fails, so he just turns to go.]

[Francesca stays leaning against the railing for several minutes after Christos leaves until she feels like she can no longer take the cold, or stay emotionally composed. She heads down the balcony towards a different set of doors that lead to a different part of the castle and continues to her room for the night having no desire to return to the party.]
