let's just say i gain 8 honor exactly on my turn (within clause of proper deference, none from battle resolution), my opponent reacts to the end of my turn with proper deference, if i react with the thriving light and unimpeachable name, i keep all 8 honor i gained that turn? or is setting honor to a number not an honor loss? thanks in advance.
