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.

Astrid's invitees are given seats of honor at the front of the ranks of the Dragon's Light members - a comparatively small sect, and Fred Jr., Wynn, and the incredibly stoic Sir Solace, section head of the Light, wait up at the front of the room for Astrid to approach them, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides. Of course, when Wynn speaks, people still hush. It's just how he rolls.

"Approach and kneel, Sir Madchen."

He's been on the list from day one. It's your own fault for not banging that like a drum. Speaking of banging, Astrid's gonna be such a kick ass knight.

[reallywicked]

Right? At least there's someone in this sect that we know won't ask too many questions.

[Faye has a habit of getting punched okay]

Ooh maybe she can get you pain meds.

[bittersweeter]

[ she shrugs, lowering her voice and shifting a bit closer to faye because SECRETS OMG. ] She already went through my stash. I don't really want the rest of this place to know.

[reallywicked]

[Faye doesn't really get why you keep everything a secret but okay being quieter now.]

What? Like she's already helping?

[Because that would be cool]

[bittersweeter]

No. Well, I mean, I guess, she gave me a lesson in what not to mix together so I don't OD and die, but. [ another shrug. ]

[reallywicked]

[]

...Because you didn't know that before.

[gurl wtf are you doing]

[bittersweeter]

What? I don't pay attention to shit like that. [ she probably did once upon a time BUT THE VEIL DID NOT THINK THIS WAS A GOOD THING TO REMEMBER. ]

[reallywicked]

[Picking up a kernel of your popcorn and throwing it at your nose now. Jfc get your life together, Lila.]

Glad she helped you be less of a moron.

[bittersweeter]

Fuck you. [ so kind, she doesn't actually sound at all insulted. ]

[reallywicked]

Get a permission slip from your boyfriend first.

[bittersweeter]

[ nope, you cannot have any snacks now, lila is protecting it. ] At least I get some on the regular. While you... oh wait, you totally don't.

[reallywicked]

Literally below the belt, Zacharov. [Faye's displeasure is mostly exaggerated.]

[bittersweeter]

Prince Harry is free. Why don't you try him?

[reallywicked]

Like you would ever let me. [Not even talking about her having no chance in hell.] You even had to kiss Alex before me just to say you did.

[bittersweeter]

I would bow out this one time. Though you actually might need to fight Alex for him. Or have a really, really hot threesome.

[reallywicked]

Uh- sign me up for that. [Glancing up at the ceremony again. Whoops that's still happening.]

Do you think Wynn ever slips up and calls someone by the wrong name or something?

[bittersweeter]

Nah. He's fucking omnipotent or some shit.

[reallywicked]

Only slightly terrifying. You know I've barely talked to him.

[bittersweeter]

Felicity and I keep finding dumb shit to ask him. Jon Stewart is not a knight. [ she pouts slightly, but then her face brightens. ] Oh my god, she's doing it! [ but doing it, lila means solace's shiny head is asking astrid if she wants to join his boy band. ]

[reallywicked]

[Faye turns back just in time to see the big moment, flashing a smile- because Astrid is pretty cool okay. She stole shit with Faye at her party. A++]

They grow up so fast. [wiping away a fake tear.]

[bittersweeter]

Like little birds leaving the nest.
