“I WILL HEAL MY KNEES AND BEAT YOU WITHIN AN INCH OF YOUR LIFE WITH THIS CANE.” I almost want to get arthritis, just so I can use that threat someday. XD
Based on what we know of Dhuvalian culture so far, I can’t think of ANYTHING that Henri didn’t throw into that. Religion. Personal integrity. Family honor and memory.
I think I can understand Christophe’s dilemma. He is approaching this from military culture. He’s a Limb pilot and he is used to dealing with other Limb pilots which from all provided context both visual and verbal is male dominant. When Betsy-Ray says something that offends his sense of what it means to be a Limb pilot he lashes out. There’s no crying in Limb piloting.
His country’s civil culture has a strong respect of women and what he just did is just not done and certainly not in public. The fact she is from another country as an excuse is just not going to cut it. So Henri takes up his civic duty to remind the younger man of this fact in a way that even a hardened career military man will understand.
What has been lost in one generation?!
Go Henri!

Wow, that’s a threat. Seriously, that’s amazing.

Just wow.
