>"There a problem here, ma'am?" An unfamiliar feminine voice cuts into Starlight's tirade
>It's calm yet authoritative, and you can practically feel Sunburst's pulse slow at it's presence
>"I-I...He just-I just, well, you see-"
>Starlight runs off into the street, disappearing into the crowd of crystal horses
>Her disappearance eases your own heartbeat enough for you to peek out from behind Sunburst
>Where Starlight once was now stands an imposing, ruby-red horse in silvery armor
>Two gleaming crystal wings spread from her sides and she speaks once more
>"Any reason I should detain her, sir?"
>"N-no, no. I'm...I'm alright."
>The soldier horse folds her wings back against herself and gives Sunburst what you think is a bow
>"You have a good rest of your day then, sir." She says before rising back up and marching past you two
>As she does, she notices you and the hint of a smile breaks through her stalwart expression before she's gone

featuring the laziest background i've ever done because I didn't feel like making one but it was required to show crystal pony translucency
