Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2018, Early Saturday Evening [Part 1]

[bigdamnprincipal]

As soon as the sun was down, everything was ready for the graduation ceremony to begin. The lawn of the school had been lit up with blue and gold lights, which reflected nicely off of the glitter scattered throughout the lawn. Yes, glitter was going to get all over everything, sorry.

There were chairs set up for all of the graduates, and plenty of seats for guests to come and watch. The weather was beautiful, cooling off after the hot, sunny day, and everything seemed quiet, calm, and normal. You know, for now.

Congratulations, Class of 2018! You made it to the end!

Joscelin gave his charge a disgusted look, gracefully withdrawing his arm from her grip. "'Tis like no music I've ever heard," he declared. "'Tis discordant and loud."

Still, he was a son of Siovale, and he couldn't help but wish for an opportunity to study the device further. But instead, he stood firm, interposing himself between Phèdre and the rest of the crowd. Mostly to keep her from temptation than because he thought anyone here would be a danger to her.

"Honestly, Joscelin, sit," Phèdre said. "You are impeding my view."

"Of your next potential client?" he sneered, continuing to stand.

"Mayhaps," Phèdre said, tossing her long, dark hair, the mark in her eye catching the setting sun. "I must fulfill my marque somehow."

"You'll not!" Joscelin declared, aware she was likely teasing, but unable to not rise to the bait anyway. "Messire Delaunay charged me with your protection and that includes protecting you from your baser--"

"Peace," Anasztaizia said. Instantly, both Phèdre and Joscelin quieted. "It begins."

And, less than a minute later, the strings began playing the opening of Pomp and Circumstance.

"This, at least, is music," Joscelin hissed a moment later as Phèdre yanked him into a seat.
