Wattzis' frustrated shout fills the office of Ponyville Guard Captain Tower Shield. Sitting behind his desk, the captain can only offer a sigh. "Buckets, it's been explained to everyone multiple times now. He has a sanction from Canterlot Castle. Which means, they approve of his methods, and are likely to overturn any disciplinary actions taken against him. If we wanted to dole out a punishment, he'd need to do something that not even Canterlot Castle would agree with." Wattzis stands silent on the other end of the desk.
"Which is why you were assigned to be his partner. We're entrusting you to teach him the values of the Ponyville Guard, and help him to adopt them as his own. We chose you because we believe you're the best fit for this task. Succeed, and I trust incidents like these will stop cropping up." Captain Shield gives Guard Buckets a solemn nod. "Do you understand?" Guard Buckets salutes his Captain. "Yes sir!" Captain Shield returns the salute. "Then you are dismissed."
After his meeting with Captain shield, Wattzis elects to head to the mess hall for some dinner before his nightly PT. When he enters the mess hall, and grabs a tray to begin filling it, he feels someone bump into him playfully, knocking him to the side. "Hey, Watty! Looks like we had the same idea huh?" When he looks to his right, Wattzis is met with the bright, smiling face of his partner, Nar with a tray in his hands. The two make polite conversation as they move through the mess line, filling up their plates. After grabbing their drinks, the two find a table, and sit together.
Wattzis goes to lift his fork to his mouth to take his first bite, but the thoughts in his head cause him to pause. He places his fork back on his tray, then stares intently at his partner as he begins to shovel food into his mouth. "Nar." Wattzis' voice is low, and intense. It causes Nar to stop mid shovel. "Yeah?" He responds, unchewed food in his mouth. "Tell me. Why did you break that man's arm?" Nar places his tray back on the table, and quickly chews, and swallows. "Oh, that?" Nar's casual tone slightly surprises Wattzis. "Had to teach him a lesson." Wattzis barely manages to keep his teeth from grinding. "What did he do that warranted breaking his arm after you already had him detained?" Nar's response is just as casual as the first. "He hit Otto with a spell from that staff he was holding." Wattzis doesn't respond, but it's clear Nar can tell he's upset.
Nar's expression suddenly becomes more serious. "Listen, Watty. I know you don't agree with my methods, but someone's gotta play bad guard in a station fool of good guards." There's a pause as Nar waits to see if Wattzis will respond. When he doesn't, Nar continues. "Besides. If we were back where I was from, I wouldn't have even bothered capturing him. I'd just have killed him." Wattzis' jaw drops. He begins to shout, but stops himself when he realizes there are other guards in the mess hall. Instead, he lowers his voice, and practically growls a response. "Then you and I have much to talk about, in private." #rp
