Where I am from, honour matters enough that you might find yourself fighting a duel if you feel yours has been slighted.

We are what we are seen to be in the eyes of other people. Honour has put steel in my spine and tried to draw blood from me. A person is always given a chance to regain their honour, at least in a duel, that's the whole point of the thing. Of course nobility had a far easier time of that than many of us.

[Which is why her pirate father had his duellist best friend teach his only daughter when her temper became apparent.]
