He supposed it was much the same way as the ocean. It may look beautiful, with sunlight glinting of white capped waves, but if you caught it at the wrong time, when an unusually large creature came around, when ships were fighting one another, when a storm rolled in with no warning; if you caught it at any of those times and were caught unaware because of it's former beauty, it was a near death sentence. So, he learned, he must stay vigilant in this world, especially now that he was part of two groups. There were lots of people here, creatures that had taken him in despite him being entirely unfamiliar, and he owed them his protection. He would make sure they were safe. He had to. It was the only way he could repay them for their kindness and he didn't intend to leave this place with unsettled debts.
He heard a roar echoing through the forest and his heart sped up, as did his paws. Once again, he found himself moving towards danger as quickly as possible until he arrived to the edge of a slope of sorts and noticed a horse, a child, running from a bear that was much faster and stronger than what it was pursuing. He glanced around, trying to think of a way for the child to climb up but he knew the foal wouldn't be able to hold onto anything when he just had hooves. It was hard enough with paws, in his opinion. No, there was only one option that Clarence could see. Suddenly, he willingly dove down the slope towards the pair. Without a word, he did his best to catch up to them, suddenly aware of the new speed this body possessed once again before he leaped forward and attempted to land on the bear and dig his claws into it before then attempting to also bite it as hard as he could. If anything, he would be able to distract it and get it away from the child. It was still significantly larger than him but he wasn't a priority right now.
