Flash Sentry

A fast-going, Princess protecting pegasus in the Royal Guard.

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Has managed to find a Haywaiian shirt that fits over his armour, the single concession he has made to the vacation*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Has such a wonderfully entertaining time when his charge decides to go "incognito"*

[Princess Celestia @mlp_Celestia]

I knew him quite well!

Ah…no, four hundred years…I mean…I knew his…grandchild?

I’m leaving now.

*clipts out with what little dignity she can muster*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

"Sleep well, Highness"

*Squares his shoulders back into the default guard stance, settling in for a preferably-quiet stint of standing perfectly still for hours on end whilst remaining alert and aware of his surroundings*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*His smile may be registered as a dangerous weapon, but with the proper precautions taken, he can still make constructive use of it*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

"I had heard the squawking, Highness. It is not my place to question the noises you may or may not make"

*Maintains his trained deadpan*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Blinks*

*Opens mouth*

*Pauses, reconsiders*

"As you say, Highness"

*Is starting to wonder when his next vacation away from guarding @mlp_celestia might be*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Licks his suddenly dry lips*

"Ah, Highness? Should I be expecting some unpleasant yet humorous effects in particular?"

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Makes a thoughtful sucking noise, before popping the offending object back out*

"Three, maybe three point five? There's certainly /something/ cursed about this, Highness"

*Beat*

"...I have concerns"

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Allows the tiniest raise of an eyebrow on his otherwise impassive mien, before his shoulders droop a tiny micron*

"...Very well, Highness"

*Accepts the pacifier from @mlp_Celestia, and with merely the faintest grimace, shoves it into his mouth*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Though his vacation was much-needed, there is something so very comforting about returning to his post beside @mlp_celestia's door*

*It's probably the muffled Alicorn-powered snores, they're oddly soothing*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*After one last check to ensure his chestplate is polished to a mirror shine, Flash exists once more, to the joy of mares and the consternation of their fathers everywhere*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Sneezes*

*Blinks, shaking his head as he returns to his reports*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Exhausted snore*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Has no comment at this time*

[Star Drifter @mlp_stardrift]

*Carefully cracks open a door*

*Peers left*

*Peers right*

*Gives a tiny giggle, glancing back into @mlp_Flash's quarters before slipping out*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*What can he say? Cute batpony is cute*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Glances left*

*Glances right*

*No sight of @mlp_stardrift's dangerous mother*

*Ladykiller grin*

"It'd be my pleasure"

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Gives a panicked glance at @mlp_celestia, immediately disliking the gleam in the former monarch's eye - there's no salvation to be found there*

"The party is fine, miss @mlp_stardrift"

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*INTERNAL PANIC*

"...Hello, @mlp_stardrift"

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*There's clearly a danger nearby, but he just can't spot it*

[Flash Sentry @mlp_Flash]

*Side-eyes*

*Something scary this way comes*
