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."

I know. You're welcome. Happy Knighting or whatever.

[pathology]

Yeah, yeah. Save it for a card.

[bittersweeter]

They don't make "congrats on joining a secret ancient knighthood" cards. I checked.

[pathology]

Don't you think they should? Even just within the castle. They could sell them at the front desk. Someone ought to capitalize on that.

[bittersweeter]

I'll add it to my love letter business.

[pathology]

You have a love letter business?

[bittersweeter]

No, but I fucking should. I wrote Thoster a love letter for Andie, which totally worked. Until he fucked up. [ she rolls her eyes. ]

[pathology]

Uh, sounds like he was already fucking up if he was so far down in the hole he needed someone else to write his love letter.

[bittersweeter]

Boys are idiots who need their hands held every step of the way. This castle is full of fuck ups, I could make a mint.

[pathology]

You should do it! I did the Rate My Knight thing on Drakenet.

[bittersweeter]

I think I'm just too lazy. And I don't give a fuck about anyone else's romance.

[pathology]

[shrug] That's valid. Other people's relationships always end up being all drama and bullshit and stuff anyway.

[bittersweeter]

Right? And they suck at them.

[pathology]

Oh, totally. And then you're just like, why are you even bothering?

[bittersweeter]

[ soul sister tbh. ] Speaking of... you and Adam?

[pathology]

What about me and Adam?

[bittersweeter]

When is there going to be a you and Adam.

[pathology]

I don't know! We talked about doing stuff after this ...

[bittersweeter]

Celebratory making out?

[pathology]

Probably. Plus celebratory drinking. He was all like, "I still don't know London yet, you should show me around", and I was like "okay but I only know like bars and clothing stores" and he seemed okay with it, so whatever.

[bittersweeter]

You should have said bars and hotels. [ just saying. ]

[pathology]

Why?

[bittersweeter]

'cause then you can show him a hotel... duh.

[pathology]

I get what you're saying, but that's kind of dumb when we live in the same place, isn't it?

[bittersweeter]

Yeah but then you don't have to worry about cleaning up your shit. [ you've seen her room, astrid, this is a valid concern. one day she might have to clean it for sylar to spend the night.

... nah, fuck it, hotel all the way. ]
