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."

The crown jewels! [ she's kidding. she might be kidding. there is a possibility that she is kidding.

she is not kidding at all. ]

[allmydreams]

[Felicity laughs.]

Maybe something a little less suicidal.

[bittersweeter]

What? We'll be fine. You're a professional thief and I can clearly talk us out anything, so. [ flawless idea, tbh. ]

[allmydreams]

And I'm pretty sure we'd get thrown in jail for ... treason or something if we're caught.

[She shrugs.]

It would take a lot of planning. Their security is no joke.

[bittersweeter]

I think it would probably be espionage since neither of us are technically citizens of Great Britain. [ which is probably worse, tbqh. like, really, zacharov, how is that comforting. ]

[allmydreams]

[Felicity wrinkles her nose.]

Yeah. Not so fond of that one either.

[bittersweeter]

Oh come on, I never get caught. [ OH TO HAVE THE SELF-ASSURANCE OF A TEENAGE MILLIONAIRE. ]

[allmydreams]

[IF ONLY.]

If we try to break into the Tower of London? You might not be able to say that any more.

[bittersweeter]

I can talk my way out of anything -- you saw me. [ sort of. talk, work, same difference. ]

[allmydreams]

[yeeeeeeeah she did.]

There'd be a lot more security than there was in that office.

[bittersweeter]

Boo, you're no fun.

[allmydreams]

Sorry. I hate to be a killjoy but I'm kind of allergic to jail.

[bittersweeter]

[ scoff. ] We will not go to jail. Come on. Imagine putting that on your resume. If you can steal the Crown Jewels what can't you steal? You would be the premiere thief, people would be begging for you.

[ diplomacy 30. sorry, boo. ]

[allmydreams]

[Okay, she has a point, even though the skepticism is still there on her face (will save 19).]

Stroking my ego does not make the chance of jail any less likely. Besides, I'm supposed to be not taking on private clients anymore.

[It would mess with her cover.]

[bittersweeter]

[ scoff. ]

Like thieves ever really stop being shady.

[allmydreams]

[Well ... she can't argue with that.]

I'd rather be shady for the guy who's currently paying me. At least for right now.

[bittersweeter]

[ she wrinkles her nose. boo, you whore. ] Fine, loser, but when "right now" is over? Those crown jewels are ours.

[allmydreams]

[She nods.]

Deal.

[ . . . . that will be a long long time from now.]

[bittersweeter]

[ that counts as winning, so lila is going to run away before felicity changes her mind. ]

I'm gonna go find Eric and harass him. [ which technically means she's leaving the party to bother her mentor, but whatever. ] Later gator.

[allmydreams]

[She nods in agreement.]

Have fun.

[Because harassing one's mentor usually is.]
