Well, I didn't exactly mean that he was honorable towards our heroes, just that he was offended at Childermass turning and running from the Champion of the Castle of the Pierced Heart and Eye and so went to reclaim England's honor, except that I couldn't think of any other word other than honorable. I knew that it would be misconstrued, but I couldn't kick my brain into gear.

Apologies all around.

Also, there's going to be a sequel? SWEET.
