If I play Faint Praise, and my opponent opts to play an action that would gain him honor, thereby triggering FP, what is the source of the resulting honor loss? Does the loss come from my opponent's Action? Or does the loss come from my FP?
If the former, would the loss trigger Nexus of Lies?

The honour loss effect is on, and from, Faint Praise.
