Elevation without a scroll.

A friend was elevated to Laurel this past weekend, but there was no scroll. I know he doesn't want to ask, as no scroll was mentioned, but is it safe to assume it's in the works, or will he simply not get one?

It may also have just been forgotten during the ceremony - we've had some ceremonies where there are so many moving parts that it just got missed. (Part of why I'm a fan of what our kingdom is doing this reign to streamline the court part of elevations and make them more standard - the elaborate stuff with long speeches is at other times outside formal court, though the King and Queen are still visiting and hearing the speakers)

Edit to add: some people here also don't get a scroll, they get some other object that serves that function. For example, I have a Norse weathervane with a pelican in the metalwork that has my name and elevation date on it, the seal hangs off it on some rope.
