No Fred! It's not a moat, it's a trench!

They are pretty much the same thing Alpaca. We just need a little water, maybe a few crocodiles...

We have an important job to do, we're not turning this into a moat. Why would you need one anyway?

Why would I - what gargoyle overlord doesn't need a moat?? Oh it's going to be fabulous, I've always wanted one. Maybe I should get piranhas instead of crocodiles, what do you think?

I don't know why I even try to reason with you anymore...
