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."

[With a grin, he pulls her out onto the dance floor, where he at least manages to not crush her feet (dance 13), pulling her in close to sway to the beat, and turning his head to mutter against her ear once they're comfortable:] You look right stunning, you know.

[That's okay, Elena will just...lead? (Dance 17)]

Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself.

[bigbad]

Not even my best look, if you ask me, but I figured I could try to clean up for the occasion.

I appreciate the little bit of extra effort.

[Unlike a certain Slayer of Evil, who showed up in sweatpants? She should...not care so much about that since that makes her look jealous of Spike attention. And she's not. After all, it was just a one time thing.

Right?

This shit is confusing.]

I admit I had a little help. Someone had to zip up my dress, after all.
