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'm sure you can handle it. [He has every confidence, anyway. I wonder if they have Rosetta Stone for elven languages...]

So they've got you working as a spy now? [That seemed ... odd to him. But hey.]

[notaroundme]

[Ahaha she should have...talked to him about things before now. But now's not the time.]

Not yet. It might come up, though. This sect focuses on diplomats and espionage, after all. Things that required talking.

[ex_ric243]

[Yeah. He just always saw her as more of a diplomat.

But it was time for him to have a papa bear moment because look at her.]

I'm really proud of you, Elena.

[notaroundme]

[Similar skills, different tasks. She'd rather do the former too, but her special abilities, well. They're kind of made for the latter.

She gives him a sheepish smile, gently bumping her fist into his shoulder.]

Thanks, Dad.

[ex_ric243]

[My heart tho.]

Just don't start expecting an allowance. You probably make more than me now.

[notaroundme]

I wouldn't dream of it. I already have everything I could ever want already, anyway.

[A family, friends, a freaking castle to live in. Seriously, what does she need more money for.]

[ex_ric243]

So I guess that means I should probably return the pony, huh?

[Except it was obvious he was teasing her like she was Jeremy on the phone with his girlfriend rn.]

[notaroundme]

Well, it's not going to fit in my room, is it?

[Teasing right back.]

[ex_ric243]

[That will get him to chuckle because jfc they are both dorks.]

You should go talk with your friends. [Who wants to be seen with their parent figure at a party???] We can catch up later.
