WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || April 6th, 2014 evening
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.

Davi'ds 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 Lan wait up at the front of the room for David 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 David Levin"

[Brantley chuckles a bit, seeing his expression. Maybe he should use that bro more often.]

I definitely think it's certainly something worth celebrating. Why don't we go out to town after this? I know a place that you probably would enjoy.

[generaldavideus]

[His eyebrows raise at the phrase "out on the town." And a place he would enjoy.]

Really?

[fixyourproblem]

Yeah, a bath house. [No, not that kind of bath house, just a normal one.] We and the rest of the party have a relaxing bath and chat in an open bath. Sounds good, right?

[generaldavideus]

[There's a pause as he shrugs.]

I haven't been in a bath house since I was last at Mount Olympus.

[Which is ... not in this universe.]

[fixyourproblem]

[Yeah, he is just gonna assume David was refering to the real non-mythological Mount Olympus.]

I didn't know there's a bath house on Mount Olympus.

[generaldavideus]

[There's a beat.]

Not this one. The one where I'm from.

[fixyourproblem]

The one where the gods live? Don't tell me you're the son of Zeus. [He chuckles a bit. He knows that David came from beyond the veil where anything is possible, but it still seems unlikely that a normal looking man like David is one of the gods.]

[generaldavideus]

[David rolls his eyes, then shakes his head.]

No. I just had to deal with them a lot. Gods aren't all they're cracked up to be.

[fixyourproblem]

[Brantley chuckles, amused at the comment. Shadow world, a place where vikings take baths with gods.]

Well, lucky for you, unlike the Olympus, I don't think gods frequent the place. How about it? Interested in a normal bath where you don't have to deal with gods?

[generaldavideus]

[He considers for a moment before nodding.]

Sure. Sounds good.

[fixyourproblem]

[Brantley lightens up more than before. One of the things he enjoys the most is having relaxing baths with friends.]

Great! Invite whoever you want. It's on me, of course.

[generaldavideus]

Thank you.

[David nods.]

I appreciate it.
