Where Arthur came from, it was sort of a thing to brag about, so the evil look was probably actually warranted. Or maybe Arthur had just spent too much time around people who were weird about the concept of killing anyone, lately.

"Was it a duel?" he wanted to know. "Because if he murdered your friend, you were well within your rights to demand one, anger or not."

This kind of logic was why it was generally a very, very bad idea to kill any of Arthur's knights back home. It... got his attention.
