Neil quickly fell in behind the pegasus, though after his first step, all four thestrals fell into a protective detail around him with two guards on each side. He might have been taller than all four of his new guards, but their formation gave him the feeling of being walled in.

A quick look at the other two revealed they were only half a foot behind the front two mares and flanking his... well, flanks.
