The Bith didn't register the cake and the balloons at first. He heard them but it wasn't a priority. Instead, he lay on his side, picking out slivers of glass. At least my tunic is soaking up most of the blood, he thought with grim humour, wouldn't want to make a mess.

When he'd gotten as much out as he could, Dune rolled back to his hands and knees. The apprentice was very reliant on the wall to support his weight as he groaned, pushing up to his feet. Without the wall being there, he suspected he'd be unable to stand just then. It was then that things began to slowly register.

"Master?," he said in confusion as he looked around.

Leina was looking at her padawan for a moment as he seemed to be confused and she nodded in agreement of soemthing unseen. "Yes it is me and you are you... and that is master Yu." She pointed to one of the robed masters there with them in the room. "And that is Me." Another jedi held up a hand. "But you have never met Me or Yu so I am confused now." She said it while standing there while another ate some popcorn observing. "We have all gathered to see you off to the next stage of your life padawan, you are dirty and no amount of scraping will remove that black stuff from your robes. Also we have all gathered here for a special ceremony."

"Perhaps it's the blood loss but...I am very confused. And honoured to meet you, Masters."

He managed to incline his head respectfully. Surreptitiously, he attempted to clean his clothes while trying to appear not to. His hands slowed and stopped.

"Next stage? But I'm not a tadpo- wait. Ceremony? Does that mean...."

Looking from face to face, things began to dawn on him.

"Yes padawan it is time." Leina was looking at him with a smile on her face. "We are marrying you off to the hutts to secure a treaty that will last for ever an ever." She looked at him. "We even got you a pretty dress for you jedi bride." She tried to keep her laugh surpressed but couldn't do it while breaking up laughing with some of the jedi there as they looked at her. before the jedi knight was rubbing her hands together. "So get cleaned up and we..we'll..." She broke up laughing looking at some of the things walking. "Come and get some of the things and be cleaned up so we can begin."

Married? To a Hutt?! His jaw dropped and his mouth worked silently. That was until he saw Leina die of laughter. The Bith let out a long sigh of relief. Few fates worse existed in his mind.

Dune shuddered involuntarily as he took a proffered towel and attempted to become somewhat cleaner. With all the dirt and blood on him, he thought a riot water cannon might do a better job than a towel. However, being as this Temple lacked one, a towel would do. Several moments later, he looked semi-respectible.

"Master, I'm as clean as a towel will get me," he said as he set it down.

Leina looked at him as she motioned for him to stay there and ran up licking her thumb as she wiped at something. "Hold still and we shall begin." She moved back a little as the jedi came around looking at things with a nod of her head. They were ready to begin and the jedi all around him activated their sabers as Leina held hers out joining around the circle as they were speaking. "We are all Jedi. The Force speaks through us. Through our actions, the Force proclaims itself and what is real. Today we are here to acknowledge what the Force has proclaimed." Leina was watching them continue the ceremony while he sliced and she was worried the man might miss and she'd have had hald a padawan head to explain.... Not good. "By the right of the order, by the will of the Force, I dub thee Jedi, Knight of the Republic."

Dune looked around him as the present Jedi formed a circle. Activating their lightsabers caused it to finally dawn on him what was about it happen. He came before the Grandmaster and genuflected, bowing his head. As the Master spoke, Dune felt his saber's blade go from shoulder to shoulder centimetres from the Bith's flesh.

Slowly, the knighting completed, Dune stood. Dune Rhur, Knight of the Jedi Order, turned to his teacher and bowed low.

"Thank you, my Master, for everything these years that have passed. Through your teachings, I've become that which I've always dreamed."

He smiled as he felt incredibly happy but knew the responsibility he now had. To the Order, to the beings of the galaxy and the Force itself. Jedi Rhur turned and bowed to each of the other Jedi present in turn.

"Thank you, my Masters."

Leina was there and content the entire time as the ceremony went for all that it was it wasn't that long so good times but she had seen so much build up some of the people did. Others just left a note saying you are promoted. So she tried to spice it up with cake and pie and flavored milks that could be going around before all was done and over. "WOOT WOOT, speech speech." She was cheering and got sme looks before grabbing a cake. "What? Somthing like this deserves speech talking about hopes and dreams and cake specifically how he is going to buy us all ice cream cake. He already paid for all the stuff here."

Dune sighed and shook his head as he helped himself to a slice of cake. Same old Leina, he thought with a weary smile. Still, the last few years (ooc: Shhh, go with it!) had been great. He couldn't have had a better Master.

He sat and was never so glad in his life for a chair. The cake was good, he thought, chewing a piece. His Twi'lek mentor was working on her third. Somehow, she didn't ever put on any fat. It defied the laws of science.

Watching her reminded him of a duck. Specifically because neither creature, Twi'lek or avian, seemed to chew. That was another thing, how she didn't choke. He gave up wondering and just enjoyed his cake.
