Predators and Prey

Indeed! Allow me to tell you of brave Sir Bailey and the siege of Grand Castle’s courtyard...
But first clean yourself up. Dignity, while not a core virtue, is somewhat important.
Dignity and an empty sack, is worth a sack.

What kind of sack are we talking about here...?

Storry time!
So there Sir Bailey was, surrounded by archers on all sides—
Hold on, I’m getting ahead of myself. Twas about one or two decades ago, when I was but a squire (and had never heard of PvP island. Or TFs). I was hammering a new sword on the anvil for my Knight, Sir Bailey, when suddenly an alarm bell interrupted my goodly work! Somewhat vexed (but quite terrified), I sought my master. But he had disappeared from his quarters...
Through the parapet gaps I could see the arrival of the impending pillager horde. The fight was gruesome, but it wasn’t my business. I was worried about my master. I descended to the cellar, where the woman and children were kept in times of danger or difficulty, and asked if anyone had seen Sir Bailey.
He’d just left, I’d barely missed him. Cursing my poor luck (and oblivious to the warnings the innocents tried to shout in my haste), I stormed out the cellar door, to find a most horrific sight. The barbarians had breached the wall of the courtyard, and were mere moments from easily executing the weakest and most vulnerable among us. And all that stood between them was me, and Sir Bailey. And his sword had just broke, Minecraft style,
I stood there, open-mouthed, until my master shouted at me and gestured violently to my hand—the sword from the anvil! I was still carrying it! I must’ve forgotten—
I chucked it at him, and he fought with renewed vigor. As mentioned before, archers began to flood into the courtyard, but I was too swift for them. I hid behind the foliage, took my own bow and shot theirs. They seemed to think they were accidentally shooting each other (which wasn’t far fetched—they foolishly decided to surround Sir Bailey). Between the archer’s incapacitation and the raw power of a fully armored and trained Knight, we managed to hold the line until the rest of the defense arrived. None of the innocents in the cellar died that day.

And that is how Sir Bailey stopped (some of) the siege at Grand Castle courtyard.

Woah.. did you survive daddy, did you, did you!?

*I push on your chest, this story getting me excited.*

*visible confusion*

(Lmao, that scene was the inspiration for that comment.)

Did you?

*I ask, looking a bit sad that daddy would die, my ears flat against my head.*

Joy Boi
No, child, I wasn’t slain. Merely had to have an arrow removed from my left arm. Unpleasant, but luckily not lethal.
Are you okay daddy?

*I sniff your left elbow.*

Joy Boi
Twas decades ago, of course I’m fine!
*decides not to tell the story of the time I lost a leg*
Daddy, you're soo cool! And brave! I want to be just like you daddy!

*Cuddles in your lap.*

(Right. I just don’t feel anything (thankfully for you))

You can technically have armor as soon as you can afford it. Good luck getting so much iron, though. You are bequeathed a complimentary set upon your Knighting, of course.
What about a sword daddy? Do i need a sword? What if I stop bad guys with flowers! That way I dont hurt anybody!!

*Excited tail wag.*

After you helped the predators to victory too...
I am principled! I assist whomever is weaker and more defenseless! Period! Even if it ends poorly for me!

Child, if flowers could stop bad guys, we’d all be armed with the finest in petalry.
I’m not sure how helpful a sword would be for you, given the lack of hands... mayhaps after you evolve?
HE'S A ZOMBIE! A SENTIENT ZOMBIE! *Goes back up tree*
I think I was a death knight at some point... but I was properly returned to the realm of the living. I’m 100% biological and alive.

I on the other hand am unprincipled and help whomever pays best, (or simply takes their money and runs).

Also.
