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.))

I was trying to convince myself to let Belle promote me like everyone else. You'll notice I failed.

[mydesigns]

Why didn't you accept the promotion? You didn't think you deserved it?

[theminotaur]

Not really. [ she fidgets uncomfortably. ]

[mydesigns]

Because you broke down? Or something else?

[lurings]

The former. [ :| ]

[mydesigns]

[he struggles with deciding what to say, but finally settles for] Most squires aren't promoted until after two missions, usually.

[lurings]

[ she thinks it's probably meant to reassure her and it does in a way. if it had been a normal mission she doesn't think many people would have been promoted. so she gives will a weak, thankful smile and bobs her head in a nod. ]

Belle said she would wait until I was ready.

[mydesigns]

[he tries to smile back. it's hard work because he's not good at emotions, ok.] And when you are, it'll be great.

[lurings]

[mydesigns]
