The hippogriff can hear the pony’s voice from inside “Coming!” and a few seconds later the door opens “Oh. Hey there Vindicar.”

"It’s made from blue steel, with some additional protective layer on the surface. Plates are mostly go on sides, belly and back, chest and rump being free. It can handle being submerged in salt water, though I’d be careful when applying abrasive materials. Plus, I only need help washing out the dirt and sweat from between the rings." Vindicar sighs. "If I chose plated armor, like Starbuck’s, I wouldn’t be able to fly in it at all. So we have what we have."

He listens to him talk about the armor “Hmmm… you know, if the rings are not packed extremely tight, I think that shaking it, dipping the whole thing in water, shaking it off again and then using some high pressure air pump would be enough.” He nods “The first would get most loose dirt out, water with soap, or just water if soap can’t be used on it, would take care of sweat and some dirt, second shaking should remove more of the now soaked dirt. And at the end the pump, if you were to move it’s hose around the armor, over all rings and such, it would get rid of the rest and additionally dry it off. All in all I don’t think it would take more than a few minutes to do.”

"Makes sence for me. I do think it can handle soap, though. Should we try it out?"

“Sure, I have an air pump so we can do just that.”
