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.

Myri, Wynn, and Koraith wait up at the front of the room for Elena 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.

"Sir Elena Gilbert, please kneel."

What?

[ defensive!! ]

Des, she came back to the castle to get away from all of this. I'm just gonna be some reminder of what she wanted to leave.

You're not asking her to forsake her happiness and come back. You're acknowledging that you're still her friend. That's what this is about right? Family?

[C'MON BUFFY.] It's gonna be worse for her if she thinks you resent her for leaving. And for all you know, that's what she thinks.

[ grumble grumble ]

I hate it when you make sense.

[nothingsodivine]

I do that sometimes. [He gives her a wink and a grin and then retreats to the buffet table. Again.]
