...I've won, but at what cost?

He's right. Doesn't matter how enjoyable this is, my core beliefs are fundamentally incompatible.
*conveniently (perhaps too conveniently), the double...
(I'll be back later "today" (damned time zones), this is just setting the stage)
(Excellent! Twas great fun for me as well!)
*message from the Council arrives for me, doesn't read it just yet*
...
*stare detensifies, turns to confusion*
What? Think about what? The consequences of you, a rat...
*incredible confusion ensues at the High Council of Elder Knights council room*
*not even the wisest of wise elders can discern why someone would send them a Polaroid picture of two rats*
*one of the younger elders points out the "April fools" letter they'd received earlier and the cloak and...
Ohhhh nonono, I'm not worried about ME losing and lying. That would be dishonorable as well as stupid. If I lose, I fully plan to admit it.
*grins wickedly and intensifies stare*
*also lifts to hindlegs and begins staring intensely*

WHAT NO GET BACK
*sigh*
He's gone. We're not dating. I'M not dating. Dating is strictly regulated for us knights. Too many cases of seduction resulting in dishonorable actions.

The High Council of Elder Knights. They still don't believe me that I'm even a rat. They think it's an April Fools joke. I'll have to visit them myself to prove it but understandably, I didn't feel like making the miles long trek without being able to defend myself...
*tries to block with shield or arm*
*doesn't have shield or arm*
OW
*darts and dodges away*
Well, I mean, I,
*wrings forepaws nervously*
You're right, but, uh, yea. Therefore, verily... ergo!
