I agree. There is a real possibility that, were he a mage, Honour would not discriminate against working with him, so long as he acted honourably by his own rubric. The values that define that honour are not, themselves, of interest.

( A slightly jarring pivot, perhaps, but the connection seems evident to Herian. )

Shame was most often that which obscured clarity. Considerations to de-fang that shame will be necessary, to have any hope that I do not grasp for honour once more, when re-establishing my frame of reference.
