Foix meets her gaze, catches her smile, returns a wicked one of his own and then has to make a visible effort to focus. He directs his speech towards his signet ring and solemnly says “I am Gauvain de Beauhernais a L’Espée Foix, Comte de Foix. Event: This day I ennoble Anevay Becker raising her to the rank of Knight of the Domain”. Foix extends his blade and taps Vee with it on her right then left shoulders. After that simple act he sheathes his blade and commands her “Avancez, chevalier du maison Foix. Rise, Lady Anevay of House Foix”.joertexas wrote:Vee's eyes widen in surprise, with a touch of trepidation. She dismisses that thought instantly - there is no way this man would injure her, she knew from somewhere deep in her soul. She squats down, and then drops onto her knees. Another thought comes to mind, and she banishes it with a smile that manifests as a brief quirk at the corners of her mouth. She takes a moment to compose herself, straightens her back, and looks expectantly at Foix.
He raises her to her feet and kisses her on both cheeks. He then says “Legalities and provenance for the Heralds - hold still”. He holds the signet ring close in front of her face and from it a soft blue beam of light plays over her features lingering over her right eye. The light snaps off and Foix speaks “Witnesses: Général Anastasia Jones, Acting Captain Sarah Kelley of the trader Maize Star, Colonel Aarav Chu”.
Foix smiles contentedly “Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Lady Anevay, Knight of the Domain of Foix”.
With apparent innocence Foix replies “When I was younger I quite rightly got my face slapped for trying that sort of thing with a girl”.Ramona wrote: Ana sighs, “You have no idea how many people have tried to abscond with my original daishō over the years.”
