[Pepper is familiar with what knighting looks like - or at least what movie and television make it look like. As far as she knows, it's not practiced in Aifaran as a rule. There isn't much of a nobility that means anything, unless someone conveniently forgot to mention that to her.

Padparadscha doesn't seem too perturbed by the whole occasion, which Pepper spots as she's out shopping for groceries. She stops halfway across the street to make sure she's seeing it right before redirecting to the odd pair just in time to hear the gem's commentary.]

Depending on the rules, it could mean everything from a protector to like, getting yourself land or political position, [she interjects with a puzzled smile. The redhead regards the old man with mild concern. He seems fine, just... possibly in the wrong time period.] Did you do something super honorable?
