You are not her brother. You will likely never replace him, even if your master were to order you to do so. However, there are vague, fragmented memories–enough for you to adopt certain mannerisms. If you were the servant of anyone lesser, even pre-programmed speech would be beyond you, let alone the intelligent consciousness you currently boast.

There is a clear and present danger, and as much as you'd like to bring down your blade upon those who'd dare to threaten your charge, the reality of the situation is that you need to reposition and assess your surroundings. To that end…
As an undead, pushing your body to its breaking point is of little concern. You utilize that unique advantage now, settling upon a preparatory stance and pressing your charge close to your chest.
