CLOSED ♔ knighting ceremonies

[wynn]

WHO || Wynn, Dovan, Koraith, Hasmed, Lis'sa, Solace, graduating squires, various members of the Knighthood, invited guests [closed]
WHAT || Full Knighting ceremonies for various squires
WHERE || Knight's Headquarters, the Great Hall
WHEN || Late September BACKDATED
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.

The Knight's new section head, Wynn, and their mentor Knight wait up at the front of the room for their approach, 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.

"Please kneel."


((Given the large amount of promotions occurring, we will not be doing individual posts/parties for each.  Instead, please there are top comments on this post for each section's ceremonies, and each section's parties.  Feel free to make Drakenet posts or plurks establishing your character's invited guests, and tagging into as much as you would like/handwaving as much as you'd like.))

[ did lila dress up extra pretty just for aurelius? you bet. she flutters over to kiss him on the cheek with a smile. ]

Congrats, nerd.

[pickyourbattles]

[ just a little blushing, really. ] Thank you, Lila. I can barely believe Edain finally said yes.

[bittersweeter]

I could have made say yes, you know. [ belated offer. still counts. ]

[pickyourbattles]

I like to think I earned it.

[bittersweeter]

Of course you did, sweetie. It's just that, you know, the brawny guys can be idiots. All those concussions.

[pickyourbattles]

He seems to have been impressed that I, er, survived that little encounter of ours.

[bittersweeter]

More than just survived. You were our tiny MVP.

[pickyourbattles]

You really think so? [ BLUSHU ;; ]

[bittersweeter]

It was all you, champ. [ she's mostly being serious. she's pretty sure she was amazing too, but it's aurelius's party so she'll let him take the win. ]

[pickyourbattles]

Well, er, thank you. Apparently someone gave him the same report.

[bittersweeter]

It was me.

[pickyourbattles]

Really?

[bittersweeter]

No. [ she shrugs. ] Not for lack of caring or anything. I don't do reports.

[pickyourbattles]

Oh. [ he deflates a bit ] Well, someone did.

[bittersweeter]

Hey. [ she walks her fingers up his chest, rolling her eyes almost reflexively. ] That just means someone else believes in you like I do. For a brain trust, you can be so dumb. Chin up, elf. [ she stretches up on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek. ] Be proud of yourself.

[pickyourbattles]

I am! Er, proud of myself. Obviously. For coming so far.

[bittersweeter]

Good. [ annnnnd she ruffles his hair. ] I'll let you go mingle. Toodles, starshine.

[ she outie. ]
