Rin's arc 8 declaration; my goodness, so many threads going up for these.

Winter's Claw for Life.
The chamber was comfortably cool, as Rin watched the Demacian in front of him make his declaration official. Technically this was the third time Rin would be swearing for a faction, but initially he had sworn in Nyrothian, letting the translation crystals do most of the work... especially as his beginnings here at the Institute had been muddied by diplomatic ties and apprenticeships and 'goodwill concessions'. His swearing to Shurima had been rushed, hasty, and he had barely paused to consider the potential ramifications before pledging to the country with the comfortable arcanosphere. While he had been glad to see Shurima gain its independence, and hoped that might set a precedent for Nyrothian independence some far-off day... he'd been ashamed by the dereliction of duty some fellow Shuriman-aligned summoners had displayed. But this time... this time, despite knowing the moment the League had intervened who he would be fighting for, this time it felt proper. He was no longer a diplomat first and a summoner second. He was still technically more of an Acolyte than full Summoner, but... well he'd be damned if he was going to give up the one benefit of all that diplomatic nonsense he had put himself through to get here. Taking a deep breath to steel himself, he stepped forward.

"Do you, Summoner Rinsu'o Sick- Kik-"
"It is pronounced 'Sik-LO-no Sik-KA-truh'."
"Do you Summoner Rinsu'o Ciklono-Cikatra, swear to uphold the Tenets of the Institute of War? To report any misconduct, tamperings, or other activities that would interfere with the processes of the Institute of War?"
"I do so swear." A grandmaster acts with integrity. Strength and Mercy guide me.
"Do you swear to uphold Honor, Dignity, and Respect for your opponents, no matter what the outcome as stated in the Summoner's Code?"
"I do so swear." A grandmaster acts with courtesy. Strength and Mercy guide me.
"And do you promise to uphold the Virtues of your chosen Faction of Bandle- wait the Freljord? But you're a yordle?"
"Yes, I am a yordle, but I am a yordle of Argyre. A yordle of Lanpoa. A yordle who fought for her favor long before yordles from your Bandle City were proclaimed her chosen. So Yes, I swear to uphold the Virtues of my chosen faction of the Freljord, and of the Winter's Claw, and to represent them with honor. I'll even take orders from Queen Ashe since the good of the nation is at stake." A grandmaster acts with self control. Grandmaster Makahtyno would not be pleased with me for that outburst. ...Strength and Mercy guide me.

"Then... by the power invested in me, I affirm your Allegiance to the Freljord for the remainder of this dispute."
A grandmaster acts with an Indomitable Spirit. A grandmaster acts with perseverance. Strength and Mercy guide me.

The embroidered trim of his robes was again icy-pale blue. He bowed slightly to the Summoner behind the bench, turned, and stalked out in as dignified a manner as he could muster. He had an appointment to keep, and the dream-shamans of the Ursine were not to be kept waiting.
{Masks in Time continues from there, and continues here.}

Nice. I like how measured your added thoughts are, but the outburst makes it seem like you are only barely in control. Which I think suits Rin.
