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.

Hasmed, Wynn, and Koraith wait up at the front of the room for Finnick to approach them, 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.

"Sir Finnick Odair, please kneel."

[he pulls back from her with slow reluctance.] If I must ...

[Oh that face is just not fair. She pulls him back and presses her lips to his.]

Only for a bit. The evening will be ours soon enough. Besides, I have to finish planning our night, so I think I'll take this opportunity to slip away. Come to my room once you're finished?

[he can't help his face ok he was just born with it. he nibbles at her lip before she stops pressing and starts speaking again.]

Of course. I can't want to see what you have planned. Are you going to astound me?

[witchwoman]

I certainly hope so. [She says, that little bit of uncertainty flickering across her eyes. She's never quite sure of herself, but she smiles through it.] You'll have to let me know once everything's said and done.

[nononono. he notices that flicker and tries to reassure her.] I have a feeling it'll be the best. [he brushes a bit of her hair behind her ear before slowly trying to unpeel himself from her. 8( it's so difficult but it had to happen sooner or later ... ]
