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."

Does he even know how? [ which prompts a burst of laughter as vi remembers something. ] Did you remember when Archer tried to bring every weapon he had on the plane with him to Chicago. On the plane. On his person. I thought Kat was going to set him on fire. She was so close! And... where does he even put them all?

[notaroundme]

I'm pretty sure he doesn't.

[She snickers right along with her.]

I don't think either of us want the answer to that question.

[Which is accompanied by a knowing raise of her eyebrow.]

[ she is reading that like... well, not like a book because she sucks at reading, but like a thing. idk audiobook. SHE READS YOU LIKE AN AUDIOBOOK, ELENA. ]

Yeah, I regret imagining that.

[notaroundme]

You brought it entirely upon yourself.

[graveflowers]

I'm going to need to drink that visual away. Geez. I'll leave you to your fawning admirers. [ she grins and pulls elena in for another hug. ] Congrats, honey, you deserve this so much.

[notaroundme]

[Vi gets a kiss on the cheek to go with that hug.]

Thanks, Vi. I'll catch you later.
