Re: Howard and the Princess
The desperation in Howard's voice did surprise her a bit. Perhaps he wasn't as suave as his son? Though to be honest Applejack wasn't sure how Tony would take such a situation either. She was almost sure her husband-to-be would likely flirt. Luna was rather beautiful after all, and she wouldn't fault him for it at all.
"We've met a few times." She gave a sheepish glance between Howard and Luna. "I kinda helped Twilight too." When the young, though young was rather relative, Princess tried to cast complete darkness all over Equestria. "She's a Princess where I come from. She and her sister bring on the changes from day to night." Though the ponies did much to bring on the changes in seasons too.
"I'm afraid, from the sounds of things, that you likely fell into one of the pools at the Spa. With no one there to work it it's fallen into disrepair." Scratching fingers through her hair she gave a firm nod. She could bring Luna up to the penthouse and get her cleaned up. Offering her to-be father-in-law a smile.
"Thank you, I was right worried when her CB stopped workin'. I'm no royal guard, but she is my Princess." Or one of them, "And I suppose as a pony of Equestria I'm sworn to protect as best I can. Though I'll be honest, that it brought you here it makes matters a bit more alarming than they were. Means the fella that brought us all here must be pretty dang powerful." And there was nothing just she and Rarity could do against him. Not without the other girls. Even with Luna here.
