The bishop is on the wrong color to be threatened by a knight on d5

Ok, I play Nd5 what do you do? If you don't move your bishop or king, I'm gonna fork both by taking on b6. If you defend the pawn with the king, I play Nf6 instead forking your bishop and outside pawn. Gonna win a pawn either way after already winning the bishop for rook exchange earlier.
