CLOSED ♔ knighting ceremony
WHO || Wynn, Buffy, Jack Chessing, Dovan Ironsides, Spike, Fredrick Jr., Mark Sandazhard, Luthir Reedhym, Eric Carpenter, Lanston Wellington, past and present Team Failboat members, Rafael Giovanni, Desmond Descant?, various other unnamed members of the Dragon's Hide [closed]
WHAT || Buffy's full Knighting ceremony; induction into the Dragon's Hide
WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || DECEMBER 11th, 2012 evening [Super 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.
Buffy's invitees are given seats of honor at the front of the ranks of the Dragon's Hide members - the largest sect in the castle, with the most representatives here, and Jack, Wynn, and Dovan wait up at the front of the room for Buffy to approach them, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides.
Wynn finally gets things rolling, by saying in his loud listen-to-me voice: "Approach and kneel, Sir Buffy Summers."

Yes.
[ but then her serious facade breaks and she looks around (cha 6). ]
I - That's ... that's all I'm supposed to say, right? I feel like I was supposed to get a script for this.

Was wondering if you'd be here. Thought the castle scene wasn't for you? [ she draws back, giving him a teasing smile. it's trying to cover up all the feels ok it's like having her big brother at her graduation. ]

[A beat] Plus I'm kinda glued to the Backstreet Boy right now.
[No, but he really wanted to watch. He's just too manly to admit it.]

anyways, he waits until a lot of other people have said their piece to her until she's alone in the crowd for a moment, before finding his way up and gently brushing her arm. ]

You know, I never thought I'd be saying this, but being one of the big kids? Weird feeling.

So popular tonight. [Teasing.] I was wondering when I was going to get to congratulate you.
[And she gets a hug, of course.]
no subject
Thanks for waiting for the chance. I didn't think so many people would actually show. I mean, I know I invited them, I just - [ she glances around, sheepish and flattered. ]

You did so well. [She lunges forward and hugs Buffy tightly, careful about any drinks in nearby hands, but still squeezing the heck out of the girl.]
I got you something. [Okay so she's bad at surprises/reveals. Instead she holds out a box that contains a charm bracelet with a few charms already attached - a small sword and a heart with an amethyst stone.] I thought it might be nice to find things to remember our missions together. [And that big silent stretch is her way of not saying "whenever they separate our team and we can't be together anymore."]

Well.
He came anyway.
Just lurking in the corner with a drink and staring at Buffy wistfully though not... quite... daring to approach her... FOR NOW.]

Myri.
She's not really sure what's been going on between the two of them (them being spike and buffy), but she's been pretty good at reading both of them for some time now, so she's at least aware that SOMETHING isn't okay. She walks up and just leans against some spare wall in his corner, not really saying anything at first. And then:]
So what happened?
