Monk novitiation ceremony. Before the heads are shaved, the robes distributed, and precepts are taken, the novitiates dress up like traditional princes and host a huge feast. They were truly thoughtful and gracious for such young ages.
Gracious hosting doesn't preclude a little winged-hat battling, naturally.
