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."

Ohh right. That. [ he looks down at himself, as if surprised, slapping his palms against his chest ] Shit, I forgot my torn-up muscle shirt with blood stains at home.

[pathology]

Ugh, shut up! I'm never caring again, I'm done.

[nepotism]

Gonna be unfortunate for the next guy who ends up on your table. Paging Dr. Frankenstein.

[pathology]

You're such a tool. [w/e she loves it. cutie.]

[nepotism]

My delicate pride. [ he smacks a fist against his chest. ] I have no doubt you'll set aside your apathy when someone's life is on the line.

[pathology]

Yeah ... I guess I could be bothered to do that.

[nepotism]

Promising. Just don't do anything that's gonna reflect poorly on my decision making skills.

[pathology]

Please, I'm gonna be like, the perfect knight. It's a non-issue.

[nepotism]

That's what I thought. I was gonna get you a gift but everything seemed cheesy as hell, so instead you can have free over-time training whenever you want it. [ wink ] I figured you'd appreciate that. [ no, no she won't ]

[pathology]

[she wrinkles her nose. GROSS.] You could have just gotten me socks.

[nepotism]

[ he wrinkles his noise back ] Ew. Might as well be a fruitcake while I'm at it.

SOBS HOW DID I LOSE THIS. with like 20 other things

[pathology]

At least socks can be cute!

[nepotism]

And training with me isn't?

[pathology]

Parts of it can be cute. [like the part where u take your shirt off. that's about it.]

[nepotism]

Next time I'll have to put a bow in my hair.

[pathology]

See, that's another cute thing you could have bought me. Bows for my hair. [she is probably not serious, seeing as she has worn a bow in her hair approximately 0 times in the time that fred has known her.]

[nepotism]

You should have made a list.

[pathology]

If you'd given me more time to plan, I could've made a knighting registry. Is that a thing? Do people do that?

[nepotism]

I think you'd be the first.

[pathology]

Can I get a re-knighting? Oh, if I become a Dragon's Claw, do I get another one? I can't believe you let this opportunity slip through my fingers.

[nepotism]

You know, I'm not actually sure. There hasn't been a new Dragon's Claw made since I stepped in. They must be waiting on me.

[pathology]

Probably. You'd be an awesome Dragon's Claw. [she means it, ok. doki doki hearts for eyes.]

[nepotism]

Not sure the lone wolf part's for me, though.

[pathology]

Yeah, that part seems sucky. So, the rule, it's like ... you can never be with anyone again? Ever?

[nepotism]

Ever ever. I guess he bent the rule for the Ellisons and then immediately regretted that one when Tia lost her dad while she was still so young.
