Carrying Princess Celestia up a staircase?

[Bendy 1,821]

You are a normal human. As a newly wedded couple, Princess Celestia wants you to do a romantic gesture by carrying her up a staircase. Even a show's cannon based sized Celestia may be heavy to lift. Without even crazy alternate universes where she is even heavier.

Do you accept this challenge? Or do you tell her you are not strong enough for the task at hand?

Are you manly enough for the challenge?

The average pony looks to be (at best) pushing the limits of what an average human can safely lift, and Celestia would have to be at least about 3-4x heavier. Unless her magical knowledge includes strength buffs, that's not going to happen.

Well, in a hypothetical situation where I'd have to carry a full grown Cakeicorn up the stairs, I might be able to do that... but her approval might depend on whether she prefers comfortableness or the manliness of the fireman's carry.

I've seen farm hands carry young livestock this way on more than one occasion. Not sure how big they can get before this becomes impractical though.

I could try. But it wouldn't be the most elegant of stair-based transportation methods.

She might be a bit heavy and I don't want to ruin my back so would probably just drag her up the stairs instead then spend the next 1000 years banished to the Moon.

I'll try, but it may not be a smooth ride for her.

This results in a no-win situation if you're not strong. But I don't know of a way to tell her that without her taking it as an insult.

There's no way in hell I could even lift her, let alone carry her. She's basically the size of an actual horse.

I really don't think Celestia weighs more than an average human woman. Probably no more than 150 pounds. But I don't want to carry a woman or even a little kid up a lot of stairs. 

Fortunately I'm sure winged ponies can adjust their weight so she's probably just messing with you.

She and I both know I can’t carry her up the stairs. She’s gonna have to carry herself lol.

Probably nowhere near Celestia's size - she's just about large enough to be classified as a horse. It might work for an average pony, at least for someone who does a good amount of weightlifting.
