can i choose to bow a bowed personality with Preserving Honor and My Enemy's Mercy? or do i have to choose the other effect of movement. thanks!
-- Preserving Honor Battle: Target an enemy Personality at the current battlefield: His controller chooses either to bow him, or to choose another location and move him there. If the bowing or movement is negated, remove the Personality from the game.
My Enemy's Mercy Battle: Choose your performing unbowed Samurai and target an enemy Personality with equal or lower Personal Honor: The enemy leader chooses to either bow him or move him home. Gain 2 Honor.

You may choose to bow a Personality that is already bowed, unless the wording on an effect specifies otherwise. In both of these cases, if the Personality is already bowed you may choose to bow him again.
