What I really wanted to communicate here is that the knight is defensive about his heraldic animal relative to other animals – it’s not a lion, or a bear, or a boar, but it’s important to him. Not sure if that came across.

It did!

Great, thanks Robert!

You should write a sequel, Epona :)

Good, engaging dialogue, and I love the fussy, defensive stance of the knight.

I love this. The characters came out very clearly and uniquely!
