How long had it been? Several months, at the least. The unification war was over… they'd won. Coeur shook his head slightly, thinking. His father was the first King of Whinns… and he was its Prince; next in line to rule. It still felt rather overwhelming.
It had been far too long, though; he needed to pay his old friend and 'brother' a visit. It wouldn't have been possible without him and his efforts to get Equestria's support, after all.
As Coeur wandered through Canterlot, he made his way towards Solaris' home. He figured that even if Solaris wasn't there, he'd be able to find out where he was.

As if on queue a cacophony of hooves banging and cheering could be heard coming from Solaris' backyard. From the looks of things Solaris was playing host to a bit of a social event.
As Coeur approached the manor one of the gate guards trotted up to him and saluted smartly.
"Greetings. I remember you from the last time you visited, sir." The guard started "Here to see Marshal Solaris?"

Coeur smiled and nodded. "Aye, I am. I trust he's been well?" The young unicorn gave the guards a slight grin. "Sounds like he's havin' a good time in there a'least."

The guard chuckled a bit nodding "Perhaps. The Marshal seems to be settling a dispute with a joust. I'm not privy to the score but... It IS the Marshal." The guard replied.
"You can go on through, theres a gate off to the side of the manor, leading to the back area."

"Thank you, ser." Coeur bowed slightly to the guard before entering the manor's grounds. He was never one for jousting, himself… it always felt rather awkward to him. It certainly was interesting to watch, though.
He went through the gate, heading to the back area. Time to see how many ponies would recognize him…

As Coeur walked in he'd notice the score was five to three, The winning score being the first to reach seven. Solaris was, of course, winning by two. A younger pony, probably an appointed second was outfitting Solaris with another lance, the discarded wrecks of his old ones lying on the ground off to the side.
Solaris looked over and smiled a tired smile, waving a hoof at Coeur to come over. Jousting was hard.
The other nobles in attendance, seeing Coeur start to walk towards Solaris nodded or bowed their heads and moved away. They seemed to remember him, at least.

Well. That was certainly a good feeling. Coeur nodded at the gesturing, making his way through the crowd of cheering ponies towards his friend. "Ser Solaris! Been a while, eh? You seem a bit peaked." He flashed the older stallion a confident grin.

Solaris grinned back shaking his head "Not at all! Knight-Commander Short Fuse here just doesn't know when to quit!" He said as a younger colt, probably a squire ran over and began to fit Solaris with a new lance.
Once it was secured, Solaris flipped his helmet down and shook his shoulders to get comfortable. "Give me a moment would you?"
Solaris reared back and shot forward down the lists immediately, catching Short Fuse a bit off guard, as he was still mentally preparing. But, he sprinted down the list as well.
Solaris ran a little wide of the list and Short Fuse responded by following with his lance. Solaris, taking a rather big risk, actually closed towards the middle, just missing the tip of Fuse's lance and landed his right in the center of Fuse's armor. With the sound of splintering wood, Fuse shot back and landed on his side huffing for breath.
Solaris trotted around the list, lifting his lance with his magic in a victory salute before trotting back to his side, next to Coeur.
"If that doesn't get him to concede I don't know what will!" He said as he tore his helmet off taking in heavy breaths.

"Perhaps taking one more hit an' losing to ye, I'd hope." Coeur laughed a bit. "I dunnae recognize this other stallion. Anyone I should know about?"
He thought for a bit, before grinning. "…If he's still not done… mind if I take the last crack at 'im? I know enough about joustin' tha' I think I could do it." The prince laughed once more.

Solaris chewed over the question for a moment, before shrugging. "Depends if Short Fuse minds." Solaris said loud enough for the other to hear.
In response Short Fuse shrugged "Like I was going to win anyway." He stated staring daggers at Solaris for a moment.
Solaris sighed and turned back to Coeur "Knock yourself out. Needed a break anyway." Solaris chuckle as the squire trotted up and unattached the lance apparatus from him. "Bring your armor?"

"Aye, brother. As always." He laughed a bit. "But it's still as light as before. I don't think it'd be ideal for jousting."
The sienna unicorn stretched a bit. "Ah'm glad neither of ye mind, though; ah've kinda been itching for some combat, even if it is just something like this."
