This quick story is pretty much my silly answer to a certain question I've been pondering, about pegasus knights...

Fire Emblem parody:
"Skirting the Issue"
by Avi
The pegasus knight known as Farina was busily brushing the mane of her mount, Murphy... Little did she realize that she was being observed from afar; by two cavaliers, huddled in deep conversation.
Sain poked Kent. "You ask her..."
"Me? Why me?"
"Because she wouldn't slap you, if you asked her something like that..."
"You don't know that! Besides, she doesn't seem to like me very much, anyways... Couldn't I ask Fiora, or Florina, instead?"
"And you think they'd be better choices to ask such a question, because...?"
"Oh, all right! I'll ask her. But understand this, I do it under protest..."

"Excuse me, Farina..."
"Hmmm? Oh, it's you, Kent. What can I do for you?"
"There's something I wanted to ask about you and your sisters," the knight began hesitantly. "I hope you don't think me impertinent for asking this, but..."
Farina sighed. "C'mon, Kent. Just spit it out, already!"
Kent coughed nervously. "All right. I've been wondering... As a cavalier, I sometimes get saddlesores when riding for long periods of time..."
"And?" prompted Farina.
"And I was wondering... How can you and your sisters ride pegasi in such short skirts? Doesn't it... Chafe the skin?"
Farina shot Kent a sharp look, but there was only a look of innocent enquiry on the knight's face... As well as a blush of embarassment.
"Oh, that?" the pegasus knight finally said, airily. "Well, here; why don't I just show you..."
"Show me? What do you mean, Farina-- Eeep!"
Kent quickly turned away, for Farina had done an extremely unladylike thing, and had flipped up her skirt.
"Oh, get a grip, Kent! There's nothing be ashamed about; here, take a look..."
Kent turned around slowly, now as bright red as his hair... He then tentatively glanced at Farina's nether regions.
"Oh," he started to say, calming down. "I... I suppose that explains a lot. Thank you, Farina."
"Don't mention it," replied the pegasus knight, with a smug grin.

"All right, Sain. I asked her the question... Now, will you-- Sain, are you all right?"
Kent had returned to his friend, only to find him lying unconscious in the grass... Kent gently slapped Sain on the face, until he awakened.
"Kent... Is that you?" asked Sain groggily. "Sorry about that; I must've fainted, or something..." It was then that Kent noticed a trace of dried blood dripping from his friend's nose.
"Sain..." he said suspiciously. "Were you watching us the whole time?"
"Of course I was! What did you expect me to do; just stand here and wait?"
"And you saw..." began Kent slowly. At this, a goofy grin spread across Sain's face.
"Yup! Well, not everything... What was she wearing under her skirt, Kent?" he enquired eagerly.
The knight gave him a sharp look, then muttered something under his breath.
"What was that, Kent? I couldn't quite hear you..."
"I said, dragonscale shorts," repeated Kent, between gritted teeth.
"Is that all?" asked Sain, in a disappointed tone.
"Of course it was!" retorted the other knight. "What else did you think Farina had underneath her skirt?"
"Er... Nothing," answered his friend, sheepishly.
At this, Kent smacked him upside the head.
"Ow! What was that for?"
Kent flushed. "Never mind..."
