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."

[Alaric's starting to think he's in a no-win situation here (sense motive 24). He just kind of looks at her like rly gurl for a couple of seconds.

It's a good thing he thinks before he speaks this time too, because following up with "I remember dating her aunt and being married to her mother" probably wasn't going to help clear this up at all.]

I'm not really sure how to explain it. I have a few "glimpses" post-college, and then nothing until I met Elena and her brother. Names and faces are gone except for hers and Jeremy's.

[shootfirst]

Jeremy. [ she repeats the name as if to memorize it ] So if you remember her, that means she was important to you.

[ex_ric243]

[Wait, by that logic then he was never really important to Elena because she barely even recognized him. Ric is not sure he agrees with your insight into the matter, Kat.]

Still is. [js.]

[shootfirst]

Good.

Keep it that way.

[ex_ric243]

I plan to. [Was he being strong-armed here what is this conversation even.]

[shootfirst]

Then you and I should get along just fine. [ yeah that's the only appropriate reaction to kat rly ]

[ex_ric243]

[He is so very confused by this girl. But the fact that she means well, and happens to be looking out for Elena from what he can tell, means she gets a pass.]

Glad to hear it. [Something tells him he wouldn't want to be someone she actively disliked ok. He has a high wisdom score call it insight.]

[shootfirst]

Lates. [ yeah with no further preamble, bitch just... wanders off ]
