Does the "assigns or moves to attack" on Unspoken Threats include movement between the defenders provinces, or only from home to the province.
Example: I bow a Courtier and target my opponent's personality. My courtier remains in play throughout. On my opponent's turn, he declares an attack, and assigns his personality to attack Province 'A'. Loses 2 honor. I assign a personality to defend at Province 'B'.
My opponent decides to resolve battle at Province 'A' first. For my first action, I play Reinforce the Gates, and move his personality to oppose mine at Province 'B'. Does this movement cause him to lose another 2 honor?
Unspoken Threats Political Limited: Bow one of your target Courtiers: Target another player’s Human Personality. While your Courtier remains in play, after each time that Personality assigns or moves to attack one of your Provinces, his controller loses 2 Honor
Reinforce the Gates Battle: Even if you control no units at the current battlefield: Target an unopposed unit there. Move the unit to a target battlefield where it would be opposed

The personality is moving to attack a new province; his controller loses another two honour.
