How Would You React When Princess Celestia Approaches You?

Assuming I was a pony in Equestria, I would probably bow down to her like all the other ponies in the show do, since that's what would likely be expected of me.

I would just make a sligt head nod and talk half formally

I would bow my head while still maintaining eye contact and say Princess Celestia My name is August it’s a pleasure to meet you

Well, if I see myself in a mirror, I probably shake my mane a bit, and try to look my very best.

Let's make one thing absolutely clear...

The greatest princess ever would never approach me. At most, I'd be the one to approach her.
As a samurai who has sworn loyalty to Princess Celestia, if she needed me for anything, she would summon me. Most likely to accomplish an official task. I doubt I am high on her list of contacts since Equestria has its champions, but if ever I can do anything, I am more than willing to serve.  

Secondly, in her presence, I would respectfully bow, admire her greatness, and make haste to fulfill any orders she gives me.  As much I would love a hug, or acknowledgement, or anything more; I dare not ask for it. Would be wrong for a low-ranking samurai to speak out of term. I will only accept what is freely offered to me.
