Jann is minding his own business. He is playing by himself in the courtyard with a wooden sword: this definitely constitutes minding his own business. Nothing that follows is his fault.

"No, I've been busy with my final exams and riding home and finding out you were carried off and coming here to get you. Before that also no, had a dry spell."

It takes them several days to get home, and then Jann's knighting, a bit more than a week late, occurs. Jann looks very knightly.

That is a reasonable thing to do! Jann feasts and hugs congratulatory persons and is made much of by his proud mother and tends not to mention that he had Roxim's permission before hitting the dragon with a sword when he tells the story.

That's very kind of him.
It's nice to have everybody around for a while! Even Reko showed up. Probably Milo will monopolize him with chess, but that's all right.

Reko wasn't originally going to be able to make it, but the extra delay induced by Milo's carrying-off allowed him to find room in his schedule.
He does go up to Jann once the crowd has cleared a little - Reko isn't fond of crowds - and offer his personal congratulations.

"Thanks! I'm glad you could make it after all. Thank Milo for apparently smelling like a princess."

He snorts softly. "Somehow I don't think he'd take those thanks in the spirit intended."

"But yes, I'm glad I could make it too. Where is Milo? Did he steal a plate of cakes and run off? I seem to recall that's one of his favourite maneuvers."
seewhathappens
"Yes."
Other people come by to congratulate Jann. Reko makes himself scarce.
Predictably, he ends up playing chess with Milo in a cozy sitting room.

That was pretty predictable. Jann plunks down and watches.
And blinks at Milo.
And sloooowly tilts his head.

Milo glances at him, looks briefly puzzled, then even more briefly alarmed, then goes right back to the game as if nothing happened.

Jann doesn't say anything. He watches for a fairly typical amount of time and then wanders off.
