The hippogriff can hear the pony’s voice from inside “Coming!” and a few seconds later the door opens “Oh. Hey there Vindicar.”
Hippogriff nods at the advice, and picks up the main part of the armor. “Well then, stand straight and rise your wings, please.”
He proceeds to cover pegasus’ body with chainmail, paying attention to wingholes placements. Ready to tighten the belts, Vindicar asks, “I hope it’s not too heavy?”
The pony does as ordered, standing completely straight, with his wings up.
The pony huffs slightly, the armor being a bit heavy, but he seems to be handling it so far “N-no, it’s fine, I can stand normally. Just not used to this”
Griffpony nods. “Yeah, I had to practice wearing weighted suit before trying on the armor. Okay, now let’s fasten this… and this one…” he tightens the belts around wingholes and under the belly. Seeing as armor seems to sit only a bit loosely on Pewny, Vindicar nods. “Looking pretty good, actually. Now let’s put on thse things. Hold on,” he asks, strapping wing covers to the sides. “I think you should be able to open your wings if necessary. Those are not too heavy, and designed to slide on your back whenever you spread your wings.”
“Makes sense, I doubt you could just randomly put this on and go into battle. Like in half the books” He chuckles then groans slightly as the belts get tightened. He looks back a bit as the covers are put on “Those things really look cool. And it’s good you can still fly, I actually thought they are like strapped to the wings and ground you.”
