So Uh - Visual

Is Honor Guard really all about standing around? I know it's part of our assignment but even via the panic of deployment, I was wondering about all of this.

It's not that my team is impatient or anything, it just seems like we're just here to stay out of trouble. Inquiring minds want to know really.

This is... extraordinary circumstances even for Canterlot Guard, Flash Sentry. However, yes, a large portion of a guard's duty is holding their ground.

Your task is to protect the citizens of Equestria first and foremost, and as the diplomatic matters present are quite tense, there is little you can do under the royal banner to assist.

[Here's a pony that might be semi-recognizable (assuming she has a younger counterpart in Flash's world). ]

Maybe you're the back-up in-case it gets worse? Or at least it's to make sure the princesses are safe?

Guards generally have to...well, guard. That means a lot of standing around. On the bright side, if all you're doing is standing around, then things are okay.

I got the call from one of your teammates a moment ago. Is something wrong?

[Meanwhile, after Twilight got rid of one area of them, more decided to pop up elsewhere, and Nephenee is just hoping that her hunch was right and that the Flame Lance does, in fact, have more uses. Fire erupts from the orange lance as it cuts through more of the plant matter, turning it to ash, and she grimaces, sweeping the ash up into a pouch for disposal with her tail.]

How's it over there, guys?
