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.

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.

[slay]

Good, 'cause I'm pretty sure the whole teammate thing means you're obligated. Which, uh, dragon thingy are you gonna be in?

[65]

Dragon's Tongue. You?

[slay]

Dragon's Hide. Big surprise, right? Tongue's the diplomat thing right?

[chessing]

I'll be there, of course.

[nosdacariad]

Only the best sect in the castle.

[postergirl]

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

[rationalizes]

This day has been long past due.

[shootfirst]

Look at you, all growed up.

[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.

[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.

[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.]

[65]

It suits you. [l m a o whoops he tries to pretend he wasn't just mean girls-ing with dumage about dragon's hide ... ] I think so. It's funny, I never considered myself particularly diplomatic.

[slay]

You have managed to deal with Burt for this long. I think not murdering him alone shows some diplomatic talent.

[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?

[slay]

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

[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. ]

[slay]

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

[slay]

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

[dragonsclaw]

I thought I gave you my word on that before.

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

[slay]

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

[nosdacariad]

Are you excited?

[slay]

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