The Kingdom of Daventry; Wednesday [05/08] - Day THREE of the Tournament of Knights!
Although the weather around Daventry continued to be bright and sunny, there was a certain dark cloud that seemed to have been cast over the competition. On the third and final day of the Tournament of Knights, the last remaining Knight Hopefuls will be paired up in a series of randomly drawn matches to test their Speed, their Strength, and their Wits. Which of the illustrious candidates will rise to the top to secure their spot as a member of the Daventry Guard? Only one way to find out!
Come one, come all, to enjoy the spectacle and the show as Daventry finds itself its next worthy knight!
[[ and, of course, for those amongst the Daventry-bound and still NFB for distance! ]]

Last Evening in Daventry - ToK Day 3 -05/08.
There are portals available for anyone who'd like to return to Fandom that evening, but there are also rooms still in the inn for anyone who'd like to stay on another night and depart again in the morning. Things could probably be arranged for a longer stay, too, if you felt so inclined, but Graham was, regrettably, going to be a bit busy with his orientation. For tonight, however, there was just a warm glow of celebration, a deep knot of sadness, and a hopeful look toward a bright, new future, and the opportunity to be the knight he'd always wanted to be.

He smiled at her, taking a moment to lift his hat and duck his head in a little bit of a bow. "My lady," he said, all nice and formal and proper because he was a knight now, and then he chuckled a little at himself, shaking his head, still mystified by that fact, and dropped into just his usual old Graham self. "Thanks, Charlie. I really couldn't have done it without you. Or any of you, really. I just..."
Okay, maybe the feelings were a little more complicated after all.
"Thanks," he said again. "Just....thanks."

You wouldn't find Charlie dwelling much on negative feelings, but she was certainly happy to add a bit of cheerfulness to any situation. Hopefully that would help a little.

Although when he hugged back, it might have been a little tighter, a little more clingy, than it might have been, and he was absolutely going to hold onto that hug as long as he possibly can.
"Promise you'll come visit!" he said. "You've been here now, so you can always find your way here, right? And we can go on even more adventures throughout this land, too, just like we did back on Earth. We can go to Serenia, and Llewdor, and Kolyma and Tanalore and maybe even Modesto!"

"You just try and keep me away," she said. "I checked it out and I can travel the Wood between here and back home. And I can follow your song anywhere, so You never know where I might turn up!"

Belle was smiling brightly at Graham as she dropped into a curtsy.
Re: Last Evening in Daventry - ToK Day 3 -05/08.
"My good fair lady," he responded, beaming right back for a moment before lifting his hat and bowing politely, courtly, and then going right back to beaming.
"Can you believe it? I really did it! I'm a Knight of the Realm now!"
It almost didn't feel real. He might need someone to pinch him!
Re: Last Evening in Daventry - ToK Day 3 -05/08.
She was going in for a hug, Graham. There was no stopping this.
Re: Last Evening in Daventry - ToK Day 3 -05/08.
Hopefully, she didn't mind that it was a little extra clingy, a little extra tight, and that he was going to hold onto it for as long as he possibly could.
"Thanks, Belle," he said. "For everything."
Re: Last Evening in Daventry - ToK Day 3 -05/08.
"Thank you for inviting me along," she said. "And for being you."
