Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2012, Early Saturday Evening (Part 1)

[bigdamnprincipal]

With things back to normal - or as normal as Fandom ever got - preparations for graduation had gone into full swing. The ceremony was set for right after sunset, to make sure all types of guests could safely attend, and the lawn had been lit up with blue and gold lights, creating safe paths in which to walk to the seating area and giving everything a twinkling, serene appearance.

Of course, the staff knew that graduation was rarely a serene event, and the fact that Ingvar's volcano was being unusually active emphasized the need to prepare the seniors as much as possible. Last year's cache of weapons had been discreetly stashed in a trunk behind the podium...and yes, they'd all been properly cleaned. Who knew what dried Viking blood could do to metal?

Once everything had been arranged, the guests were let in, and all that was left was to pray everything went smoothly.

"True." It wasn't like he was complaining. Hania was of course perfect in every way. Unlike Alice he wasn't concerned by this overwhelming love. It was human, and he clung to what humanity he had.

Leto leaned in to kiss Alice's hair lightly.

"Also, I'm sure the graduation ceremony will offer her some distaction."

"We'll have prime seats for whatever happens to the graduates," Alice agreed brightly. "Better still, the bloodshed usually doesn't reach the stands."

Hania was far too young to participate. Although Alice and Leto's definition of 'too young' was not quite that of other parents. Those who were not raising a child on Arrakis, perhaps.

Hania, herself, used this opportunity to begin chattering excitedly to herself. And chewing on her fist.

Hania was too young to kill the injured enemies on the battlefield, and besides, they were all just here to watch. The graduates would manage on their own, no doubt.

"I'm sure we'll not be disappointed."
