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.

Hook's invitees are given seats of honor at the front of the ranks of the Dragon's Hide members - the largest sect in the castle, with the most representatives here, and Dovan, Wynn, and Thoster wait up at the front of the room for David to approach them, but the attitude of the ceremony is much more relaxed, full of smiles and light conversation on all sides.

Wynn finally gets things rolling, by saying in his loud listen-to-me voice: "Approach and kneel, Sir Killian Jones."

Sir Ironsides. [ He speaks to the dwarf without turning to look at him. ] Do you accept Sir Jones as a member of the Dragon's Hide?

[ironsides]

Do you swear to stand as the sword and shield to protect this Knighthood from harm?

[unhand]

Aye.

[ironsides]

Then by the power of my office, I grant thee the title of Full Knight of the Dragon's Hide! [ He moves to pat the back of Hook's shoulder ] Rise and take your place up here, lad.

[unhand]

[Aw, yeah. Hook hesitates a moment, then stands, looking back at the crowd with a grin. He's still half-surprised they agreed to promote him.]
