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.))

[ briefly, she gapes, but then her head dips in a nod, nervously lifting her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. ]

Yes.

[killingtodeath]

[Grinning, he takes her hand once she's finished tucking her hair and steps backward out onto the dance floor, leading her along. Part of him feels like there's a good chance she could just bolt if he's not careful.

His dancing isn't... terrible? Perform (dance) of 11 so he's hanging out in average white boy dance move territory. Enjoy.]

[lurings]

[ it's not bad, but abigail is perfect and i guess all those bonfires marissa snuck her out to that she doesn't remember must have paid off because while she's smirking at stiles busting a move, she reaches out to basically coax his limbs into the right place. (dance... nat 20) ]

You're awful, this is horrible. [ does it count as a compliment if she is very close to him and grinning? ]

[killingtodeath]

[He doesn't fight her guidance, sort of blown away by how bright she's smiling. It's not exactly a common sight.]

I don't know. Everything looks great from where I'm standing.

[He means her. She looks great. So smooth. Look at that cha check of 20 total. Can't stop won't stop.]

[lurings]

[ her whole face scrunches up, easily swayed by his buttery smooth delivery. (will save 8) hdu. heart eyes motherfucker. her bottom lip scrapes between her teeth as she ducks her head, looking up at stiles from underneath her dark eyelashes. ]

[killingtodeath]

[He's just so damn pleased with himself. As they continue to dance, he seems to calm down and follow her instruction so it's not as much of a train wreck.]

I think I'm going to keep up with the magic thing. See if Kat or one of the others has any suggestions for me.

[theminotaur]

[ she doesn't even know any magic people to direct him too. her magic people are psions. except... ]

I think Belle's boyfriend is in the Dragon's Fire. Maybe he would teach you. Or Alex's friend, um, Lila.

[ she will retract the gold statement later. ]

[killingtodeath]

Lila's kind of terrifying. But I may ask her about it. Thanks.

[He really appreciates the support, okay.]

[lurings]

[ she shrugs, like no problem. ]

Have you learned anything else?

[killingtodeath]

Magic-wise? Not really. But I did figure out that I'm really useless with my fists. That was a good day.

[His training with David isn't going so well...]

[lurings]

Do you need help? [ she pauses the tiniest bit as the song slows down. instead of putting a stop to the dancing, however, she just slips her hand down to take his and puts it on her waist. so smooth. ] With your fists, I mean. I'm stronger than I look.

[killingtodeath]

Uh, sure I guess. [He lets her guide him into the slow song stance, giving a little twitch of a smile.] I can use all the help I can get at this point.

[lurings]

You can't be that bad. [ god he's so tall though. she's used to it because will is the same height and hannibal was taller, but she's usually not all up in stiles' personal space like this, where her arms have to lift up to curl around his neck.

well, not since she kissed him in the middle of andres.

BLUSHES INTENSELY JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. JUMPS OFF A CLIFF. ]

[killingtodeath]

[He notices that blush and gives her an amused, confused look.]

What is it?

[lurings]

Nothing, just-- thinking.

[ nailed it. ]

[killingtodeath]

About...?

[lurings]

Andres. [ that's vague enough lmao. ]

[killingtodeath]

Oh. [He doesn't really know what to say to that. Andres makes her blush???]

[lurings]

You know, after. Before you found your mountain ash.

[killingtodeath]

[It dawns on him, a small smile forming.]

Uh huh...

[lurings]

[ blushing intensifies and she looks down, tiny smile matching his. she feels all a twitter and it's weird.

but nice. ]

[killingtodeath]

[His hand reaches up to tuck back a piece of her hair.]

You can just say it, you know.

[lurings]

[ as he brushes her hair back, she glances up. ]

Shut up, you know what I mean. ...I liked it.

[killingtodeath]

Oh yeah? [Okay, he won't tease her forever. Dropping his voice, he's still smiling but there's a lot of sincerity there.] I liked it too.

[lurings]

[ slowly, bottom lip scraping between her teeth: ] Well. Feel free.
