Is the negation of an honor gain considered to be an honor loss?

For example: If Only Actions Speak is used on an action during the action phase (lets say Acrobat Troupe's action), can I then use Deeds and Words to prevent the honor negation and still gain the 2 honor that Acrobat Troupe's action would normally provide?

No. Negation of a gain is not treated as creating a loss.
