[Sigh.]

I've seen people who felt that way, about death in battle being noble.

[She shakes her head.]

What's noble about being hacked apart, bleeding out, having bits of you strewn in the dirt? Especially if you only fight for some sense of honor, rather than a real cause. Then you're just dead, and what good is hollow honor to the dead?

You sound like a priest I know.

And just because someone doesn't fight, doesn't make them a coward.
