CLOSED ♔ knighting ceremonies

[wynn]

WHO || Wynn, Dovan, Koraith, Hasmed, Lis'sa, Solace, graduating squires, various members of the Knighthood, invited guests [closed]
WHAT || Full Knighting ceremonies for various squires
WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || December  BACKDATED
HOW || Actionspam

Unlike the grandiose nature of the squiring ceremony each Knight undergoes upon their initial entrance into the Knighthood, the graduation to Full Knight status takes place in a much more intimate affair, between the Knight, their mentor, invited friends, and the members of the sect to which they will be inducted. There's no pompous music, no stolid rank and file, no elaborate march.

The Knight's new section head, Wynn, and their mentor Knight wait up at the front of the room for their approach, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides. Of course, when Wynn speaks, people still hush. It's just how he rolls.

"Please kneel."


((Given the large amount of promotions occurring, we will not be doing individual posts/parties for each. Instead, please there are top comments on this post for each section's ceremonies, and each section's parties. Feel free to make Drakenet posts or plurks establishing your character's invited guests, and tagging into as much as you would like/handwaving as much as you'd like.   Also please make sure your established promotion is acknowledged here as well. ))

Even better.

[ another! (atk...25) maybe it'll go up by one for every attack lmao ] Barely.

[buttholy]

You're just practicing. Relax.

[withasouvenir]

I am relaxed. [ she says, stressed. ]

[buttholy]

Everything about your posture is tense. [he goes behind her to adjust her elbow and whatever. so romantic. i'm pretty sure this scene was in princess diaries 2.]

[withasouvenir]

I know how to shoot. [ her grumpy tone does come with a softening of her shoulders, so it's baby progress. ]

[buttholy]

There's a difference between shooting and shooting well.

[withasouvenir]

[ that just pisses her off, jerking away from him. ] Years of championship trophies prove I know how to shoot well.

[buttholy]

And then you took a break for awhile, I remember.

[withasouvenir]

Not long enough to suddenly suck. [ funny how she'll berate herself, but the second someone else does she's proud of her skills. ]

[buttholy]

I was just trying to help. I can see myself out if you want.

[withasouvenir]

[ with a sigh, her hands (and the bow) drop to her sides. ] Sorry, I don't-- crappy mood. I'm in a crappy mood.

[buttholy]

Why's that?

[withasouvenir]

My brother's a lying asshole?

[buttholy]

Oh ... yeah, I guess if you were ever going to have a reason ...

[withasouvenir]

I just can't believe he didn't even come back. [ her shoulders slump with upset. ]

[buttholy]

[genuinely sympathetic] I'm sorry, Thea.

[withasouvenir]

I'm so... mad at him. And he's not here to be mad at so I'm stuck with it with no outlet. Again.

[buttholy]

You can find an outlet, you know.

[withasouvenir]

Yelling at my closest friend? [ she raises her eyebrows at him. ] Not exactly what I want to do and not exactly fair to you either.

[buttholy]

I meant less yelling at me ... more training, or ... I dunno, stuff with your hands? Crochet?

[withasouvenir]

[ she looks super dubious about the last part. ]

Crochet?

[buttholy]

My mom does crochet!

[withasouvenir]

I'm not saying it ba-- wait, really? That's adorable. I didn't know moms actually did stuff like that.

[ YEAH SHE DIDNT HAVE A LOT OF MATERNAL INFLUENCES. ]

[buttholy]

Mine does. Do you want a scarf or mittens or something?
