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.

Faye's invitees are given seats of honor at the front of the ranks of the Dragon's Fire members  and Nessa, Wynn, and Hasmed wait up at the front of the room for Faye to approach them, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides from the other sect members.

Wynn finally gets things rolling, by saying in his loud listen-to-me voice: "Approach and kneel, Sir Faye Chamberlain."

[She shrugs.]

I'm just glad I got to see it before my own. Good to know what to expect. And you certainly had ways of making it your own.

[reallywicked]

Not that different from the squiring stuff. Less to remember. But hey- I'm happy to help you scout it out.

[allmydreams]

[She nods.]

Still, full knight now. That's got to be a bit of a rush.

[reallywicked]

[Faye lets a small smile slip.]

It's pretty cool, isn't it?

[allmydreams]

Yeah, it is. Hopefully this will be me one day.

[Hopefully sooner rather than later.]

[reallywicked]

Okay, if they'll put up with me? You shouldn't have any problems.

[She recognizes that she's difficult. She thinks it's part of her charm.]

[allmydreams]

[It is part of her charm. And not everyone is meant to be agreeable - Felicity is convinced of this.]

We'll see. Not sure if I'll join a sect, though. I kind of like having my options open.

[reallywicked]

So... what? You'll do that whole freelance thing?

[allmydreams]

[She shrugs.]

At least it would never get boring.

[reallywicked]

That's why I'm glad I found out about the magic thing. Never gets boring that way.

[allmydreams]

Sadly, I am not magically talented. But it's still pretty cool all the same.

[She does not have any magic issues, which is probably a good thing, considering where he works.]

[reallywicked]

Hey- maybe you are and just don't know. I didn't figure it out until I got signed up here.

[She's just saying- keep your options open]

[allmydreams]

[She does have a point. Then she shrugs.]

All the more reason for me to freelance. Wouldn't want to commit to something too quickly.

[reallywicked]

Makes sense, I guess.

[allmydreams]

[She shrugs.]

I guess I just don't like to be pigeon-holed. Versatility can be a girl's best friend.

[reallywicked]

And here I thought it was diamonds. Or vibrators.

[allmydreams]

[Felicity considers that for a moment.]

Girl can have more than one best friend.

[reallywicked]

[Faye lets out a short laugh. It's official. She likes you. You can stay and speaking of...]

Lila and I were talking about going out tonight to celebrate. You should come.

[allmydreams]

That sounds like a blast. Count me in.

[It doesn't really matter where they're going. She is overdue for a night out.]

[reallywicked]

Awesome. I'll text you once we have more details.

[allmydreams]

Sounds good.

[She holds up an empty glass.]

And until then, I'm going to get myself another drink. You want anything?

[reallywicked]

I'm good. Thanks though. Enjoy the party.

[allmydreams]

You too.

[and with that, she'll raise her glass and be off.]
