In your service

"Greetings, Princess Skyla. A juicebox has been brought to your quarters, as per your orders."

"Thank you, Captain, that'll do for now. At ease, soldier."

requests to see princess skyla interact with her parents
mmmkay

Skyla takes her role as princess pretty seriously, so Shining Armor, captain of the Crystal Empire's royal guard, indulges her often cuz these games of playing pretend "loyal knight and princess" make her happy
he's a simple guy, he just likes seeing his filly smile

borrowed some of Older!Shining Armor's look from Earthsong, Shining Armor

if he looks all battle hardened and super serious, it's just an act for playing with his daughter. He's still a huge doofus, and not above embarrassing Skyla with the occasional dad joke
