A knight would value honor, whereas Locus knew he had none. He had been a soldier, a bounty hunter, a mercenary. He'd done a number of reprehensible things not because it was right or just, or the cause was noble, but because he had been ordered to. The romantic image of knighthood hardly stood side-by-side with that.
And the girl is still following him. He'd walk faster to shake her, but he had the feeling she'd only speed up to keep pace, if only to continue pestering him.

Unfortunate.
