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."

Sounds familiar. [Well, he doesn't claim to know Emma's hard life, but you can gather a lot about a person by the way they carry themselves. And the look he's giving Emma says he's kind of known that much ever since she came to Storybrooke.]

[ if you expected emma to do anything but deflect, you don't know emma swan. she turns it back on him. ]

I didn't realize you had such a tragic past.

[undealt]

I wasn't referring to me.

[Pointed look. guuurl he can do this all day.]

[uncurse]

Look, can we—Let's not. We're done with the bonding thing. I'm not your problem anymore.

Of course. [And since she wants to disengage, he'll let her... for now. He just smiles knowingly to remind her he is actually a douchebag.] Enjoy your evening, Ms. Swan.
