Shining Armor is the prince in the Crystal Empire, But at the same time, he has a job to do, both as a father and the Captain of the Royal Guard, (Even if he doesn't know about any effective way how to guard or attack)

He turns to look at his wife, Princess Cadence, sitting beside the crib where the little filly is, hooves pushing the crib gently as she smiles slightly, she looks back at Shining Armor, smiling slightly as she speaks In a whisper just enough for him to hear..

"She's so sweet, is she?"

She whispers, gesturing to Flurry Heart in the crib..

Shining Armor smiles almost proudly, he's proud for being a dedicated father, even if he's a Captain and a Prince at the same time, he exits the balcony and heads towards them, grabbing a nearby uniform via telekinesis with his horn, he wears it no problem as he speaks in a whisper.

"I know.. I wish I could stay here, but I have a job to do.."

He says, as he walks closer, making their horns touch..

Cadence smiles gently in affection as she nods slightly, then, she adds in a whisper, horns still touching while her hooves continues to cradle the crib..

"Yeah I know, just be careful ok? Don't let Chrysalis mind-control you like our last wedding.."

That alone makes Shining Armor's eyes narrow, he's almost paranoid from those deception, then, he sighs before nodding as he opens the door heading downstairs and outside..

"Yeah I know, goodbye Cadence.."

With a kiss on the forehead, he walks outside, hooves clomping on the ground, eyes narrowed with purpose and determination..

As he finally arrives in Canterlot, he stands still and tall, face emotionless and determined as he continues to stand there by the entrance of the town..

Then..

He sees you.

His eyes narrows as he sees you, then, as you approach him, he immediately stands in the way as he speaks..

"And who might you be? I didn't see you before.."

A beat..

"I know you're normal, but I didn't see you here before.."

He says, eyes narrowing in suspicion..
