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.

Emma's invitees are given seats of honor at the front of the ranks of the Dragon's Fire members and Gold, Wynn, and Hasmed wait up at the front of the room for Emma 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 Emma Swan."

[ she drops her hands and steps back as the song ends. ]

Then, maybe it’s time we started taking this seriously and looked into it.

[unhand]

A plan at last. Lila should be pleased, at least.

[uncurse]

It's not a plan until we know we can do it. [ a beat. ] And the cost.

[unhand]

[And doesn't magic always come with a price.] It may be high. Such a powerful curse can't be broken cheaply.

[uncurse]

If it means bringing David home, I don't care.

[unhand]

[That answers the motives question, at least. He nods at her.] Try and enjoy the rest of the party. Might be a good time to start feeling out who the players of your new sect are. I'd wager someone here tonight could tell you about memory spells.

[uncurse]

[ she nods, ready to excuse herself. ] Let me know if you hear anything.

[unhand]

I will. And Swan? [He flashes her a last, warm smile.]

Congratulations.

[uncurse]

Thanks.
