Relevant Rule's Text: There are a number of ways to rehonor a dishonorable Personality. * Before a player gains Honor from an action or trait that targeted, came from, or was performed by one or more of his or her dishonorable Personalities, the Personality is rehonored and the player does not gain the Honor. (For rules on when dishonorable status is checked, see References). * Before a player gains Honor from attaching a card to one of his or her dishonorable Personalities, the Personality is rehonored and the player does not gain the Honor. * Before a player with one or more dishonorable Personalities in his or her army gains Honor from allying with that army (see Invite Allies) or from destroying enemy cards in battle resolution, all such dishonorable Personalities are rehonored and the Honor is not gained. In a tied battle, all dishonorable Personalities in an army are rehonored before being destroyed, and their army’s leader gains no Honor.

Questions: 1) When a delayed honor gain from an action occurs that targeted my personality triggers, does it check the honorable status of my personality? 2) If my scout (Doji Murata let us say) performs Prepare for the Worst in an honorable state, and then is dishonored after prepare for the worst resolves (establishing the delayed effect), do I gain the honor, or is the scout (Doji Murata) rehonored? 3) If my scout (Doji Murata again) performs Prepare for the Worst in a dishonorable state, and then is rehonored before prepare for the worst is triggered, does the player gain the honor?
I'm fairly sure that i know the answer, but I want to make sure. Delayed effects really do concern me.
