“You look nervous Lukas.” Marissa said with clear amusement in her voice.
I tried to give her a look, but the fact that I stopped adjusting my sleeve and put my arms down, caused her to laugh.
“I realize this is mainly just a ceremony. I already have my citizen papers. But still, I know this will settle some of the ruffle feathers at the guild. I don’t want anything to go wrong.”
She shook her head and adjusted my necktie. “It will be fine. You passed all the tests. You did your interview. You now just need to stand up among the other handful of people to go through a formal ceremony.”
“I appreciate you supporting me in this, as you did with the entry of the guild.” I responded hoping she could tell how much the support really meant. “Hopefully this will cause less of a stir then my joining the guild did.”
She laughed again, “Try as you might, you don’t make small waves.”
“All those here for the Citizen Ceremony, please come forward.” Someone called and I headed to take my place.
