[ There's no faulting someone for being angry about this situation and lashing out. It's not easy to do what Ernesto is doing, and play nice when people are treating you so poorly. Every single person who is resisting the guards in any capacity has his sympathy.
But he's certainly not about to join them to his own detriment right now.
He'll wag his tail in a manner that seems mostly inoffensive as he holds the bread a little closer. The assessment isn't entirely wrong, because it's people like this kid that let Ernesto get a better grasp on how those whips work, and what the guards go-to style of fighting happens to be. It doesn't feel great to be letting others inadvertently suss this information out for him, but he'd be lying if he said it wasn't useful.
Not that he'll say any of this out loud with guards so close by though. ]
Not exactly, but it seems like you're exerting more energy than me right now. You can probably use it.
! I'm excited that people are excited for him!
