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.

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."

I wasn't aware you knew the meaning of the phrase.

I am full of surprises, Sticks

[postergirl]

Sticks?

[nothingsodivine]

As in your gams. [Dumage, have you not noticed YOU ARE ON EYE LEVEL with most men in this room.

No one says "gams" anymore, Des. Except you.]

[postergirl]

I'm not certain any woman in the world has ever found 'sticks' to be a flattering term for them.

[nothingsodivine]

A good few centuries of slang and I have yet to hear a flattering term for anything on a woman. [at least he's honest.] That's men for you.

[postergirl]

I don't know. There are some of them I don't mind.

[nothingsodivine]

And I bet I can na-

[AND THIS IS ABOUT WHEN SHIT GETS REAL. So there you go, Dumage. You were here when Des almost choked on a toothpick. It's hard to live in the past when shit is so strange in the future, okay.]
