They’d arrived at the gathering area but as Toxin took a deep breath he felt the weight of one last box in his satchel. His heart skipped a beat–his first time awarding the recognitions and he’d already messed up. Spinning around to his group, before they could mingle, he held up his hand to his group.
Arlill: Junior Lieutenant Lahl, please step forward. I have to apologize, in my endeavor to complete this recognition ceremony without error, I’ve overlooked one important recognition. ::beat:: Junior Lieutenant Lahl, you’ve been recognized, by officers and fellows for your outstanding work in the last mission and before. For this reason, I have the honor of promoting you to the full rank of Lieutenant and with it the benefits and responsibilities of that rank ::leaning forward and whispering:: a lot of responsibilities ::winking::.
Lahl: Response
Toxin stepped back and gave a short round of applause for the new lieutenant. He felt it was the least he could do for his blunderous oversight.
