PRIVATE ☏ PHONE CALL TO FAILBOAT, VAL'DRIN CABOT, FRED JR. (back in early dec)

[slay]

If any of you guys want to be there for my knighting ceremony on the 11th, you're invited. Should be approximately as interesting as all the other ones, but ... it'd mean a lot to me if you came.

[65]

Really? Mine's the tenth. Seems like they were saving the best for last.

[slay]

Glad they managed to find time to schedule yours between all your being famous.

[65]

It is fortuitous, isn't it. Extra fortuitous, seeing as I should be able to make yours as well.

[chessing]

I'll be there, of course.

[slay]

About that.

Jack, when I'm all ... knightly and finished. We're not - I mean, stuff with us. ... You'll still be there and everything, right?

[dragonsclaw]

I thought I gave you my word on that before.

But yes, Buffy. I'll always be at your disposal.

[nosdacariad]

Only the best sect in the castle.

[slay]

Sect! There we go. Knew there was a word for it.

[nosdacariad]

Are you excited?

[postergirl]

I'll see if I can pencil it in. [ lol pri not ]

[slay]

Don't feel obligated to reschedule on my account.

[ it felt rude not to include dumage if she included the rest of failboat, but that doesn't mean buffy especially wants her there. ]

[rationalizes]

This day has been long past due.

[slay]

Tell me about it. [ beat. ] I meant - ... Something more modest than that.

[rationalizes]

If you ask me, I think this is an occasion for giving modesty a holiday.

[shootfirst]

Look at you, all growed up.

[slay]

I'm gonna be a real boy. ... Or, uh, girl. As it were.

[shootfirst]

Gender-neutral paladin?

[nepotism]

I feel so special.

Lucky for you, I'd never turn down a party even if I wasn't required to attend this one.

[slay]

Oh, that's right - your department and all, huh?

[valdrin]

Buffy. [ he sounds pleasantly surprised, at least ] I'd love to attend... but I'm afraid I'm not at the castle at the moment.

[slay]

You're - ? Oh! Well, that's - that's fine. I just thought I'd, y'know, make sure you knew you were welcome.

[bigbad]

....do you really want me there?

[Spike's a little torn on if he even wants to go. She's still probably his closest friend, and it's hard staying upset with her. Except it's also easy when she hurt him so much. He's just full of all sorts of emotions.]

[slay]

You're part of the team.

[notaroundme]

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

[So exciting!]

[slay]

Glad to hear it!
