[Finny is not his normal cheerful self. He's sitting cross-legged on his bed, looking out the window. He moves his hands occasionally to let a praying mantis crawl from one to the other. He words his question awkwardly, not quite having the vocabulary at his disposal that he needs to be vague but clear.]What do you do if you're supposed to protect

Uh... why should that matter?

[hairdecs]

Where I come from, rank means a whole lot.

[tinderfoot]

Yeah, but it sounds like whoever this person is, they're causing trouble for who you're protecting. And if they're causing trouble, then they deserve what's coming to 'em.

[hairdecs]

Well... they haven't caused any trouble yet. But... they really upset my person by being in our house.

[hairdecs]

Noooo... they really don't like them at all.

[hairdecs]

The person I'm protecting doesn't seem to like the person... but THAT person is a higher rank from me! How can I protect my person if I'm supposed to follow the not-nice person's orders?

In situations like that, look only at your objective. Your charge should be safe no matter whom it is that poses a potential threat.

If the threat isn't immediate, search for the best way to either prevent conflict or neutralize it as peacefully as possible should it occur regardless.

[hairdecs]

... wow! You're really smart!

[heavenly_earth]

No, I've just been in similar situations.

[hairdecs]

Are you a servant too?

You stick to the chain of command and stop assuming that they're not protected.

[hairdecs]

.... WAAAAAAH DON'T BE MAD AT ME LORD TRANCY THIS ISN'T ABOUT MR. CLAUUUUUUUDE!

[masterbaiting]

Oh, of course. There I go, making completely unfounded assumptions. I mean, I'm sure it's got no fucking bearing or anything.

Point still stands.

[hairdecs]

But... but...

Young master, I...

[littlest_lord]
