The male looked down at the knights before him and watched as they walked through the gates. He sighed as one man walked in, seeming to bring with him all the attention the world had to offer. The knight walked down to where Arthur was standing. In the king's arms were two children both seemed uncomfortable with their situation.

"Arthur let them go for the love of god." He growled looking up at the human. "Why can't you go one day without kidnapping people?!"

"First off its not kidnapping its relocating there is a difference and second look at them look at her! I'm not leaving them out in this weather!" The human motioned to the girl who was clearly younger. There were scars just about everywhere she was tiny, looked to be bleeding and her fur was a complete mess.

The older knight looked at her for a moment watching as she struggled to get away from the human. "..."

"I told you when I became king I was going to make sure everyone in my care was well...cared for.. This" He pointed to the Hedgehog and Racoon. "This is not cared for. This is on the brink of death."

"Well last i checked we weren't yours to care for were Emeraldins we aren't your people." the Racoon growled.

"If you two being in this condition is acceptable in Emeralda then I have some choice words for Kendra." he finally set the two down but didn't let them run away.

"In case you haven't noticed we're at war, everyone is starving." The white sow responded, putting her torn dark green cloak over her head.

"We were just at war and no one ended up as sickly as you two look."

"Yeah well last i checked you weren't sending billions to war with another kingdom your war is internal."

"War is war no matter if it's internal or external." Lancelot scoffed.

"You would say that." The raccoon growled.

"Oh yeah tiny rat?!" He hissed.

"pet!"

"Water lover!"

"Land lover!"

"Trash panda!"

"greek-" 

"Great, so who's ready to eat?" Arthur said. While the two insulted each other he and the sow were talking.

"..are you sure you want these... pests in the castle?" Lance asked glaring at the Racoon.

"... don't make me get the spray bottle." He backed up.. That was the worst punishment for a knight.

"Yes sir..." He huffed and started walking into the castle.

"He doesn't act like a royal." The white Hedgehog commenced walking with the Raccoon.

"Yeah and his knights reflect it." He scoffed. 

"Don't make me tell moss that Emeralda is in another war because you couldn't keep your mouth shut.."

"I'm not gonna be the one who starts the fight, it would be that insufferable 'knight'."

"Yeah sure... we came here to get supplies, moss never said anything about refusing a free meal. I think that we should enjoy this... everyone here treats us better than they would in Emeralda... why not just enjoy it?"
