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."

[ pig-headed female protagonists unite. ]

Is judge really the word you'd use when it's more like observing?

[65]

You've made some pretty strong observations.

[slay]

I'm a pretty strong person. Y'know, in the overall sense. Guess it just comes natural with the Buffy package.

[65]

It wouldn't hurt to be more flexible.

[slay]

Actually, I'm fairly certain that's how people sprain things.

[65]

That's how they avoid spraining things.

[slay]

... Oh.

[ awkward beat. ]

I don't think I really have to worry about it either way. The spraining.

[65]

Why's that?

[slay]

I just ... bounce back. I dunno. I mean, even when I don't get healed, it doesn't ever take that long to ... work itself out. I don't know why, but it just does.

[65]

[huh.] Oh. That must come in handy.

[slay]

Has so far.
