Even if he would fight honorably, I am the Unseelie General. I cannot focus on one individual Seelie shardbearer - no matter how dishonorable - when there is an army marching upon Caer Scima.

And why would he face me, knowing that I can end him, when he could walk into a sanctuary where there are Unseelie shardbearers with either no wish or no capacity to fight and take them with far less effort and risk to himself?
