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."

Of course. [A slight frown.] Has she talked to you yet?

[uncurse]

She's a teenager. She's always avoiding someone. Pointing out how sketchy her boy toy is just makes me an easy target. [ emma shrugs, deliberately unaffected. it's easier to pretend it doesn't bother her than crumble under perceived abandonment, even if it follows the same pattern: emma's loved ones finally catch onto something about her they don't like, and they bail. lila's just a kid, though—it's not her fault. ]

I'll keep an eye on her. [And possibly point out a few things of his own. He gives her a soft smile.] Good luck in Germany, love.

Between you and me? I think I got the easier job.

[ she claps him on the shoulder. ]

Take care of yourself.

[ and then moves past him towards the exit. ]
