BunnyGate is still rumbling on, (will it never end?) and Noirin is implying that Halfwit and Siavash are lying. Halfwit refutes this with a hammy performance, as only he can.

Siavash's honour, and his own for that matter, are at stake.

He will not rest until he makes it clear to Noirin that they speak the words of deadly truth.

But on the other hand, it may have been better for him if he could just let it lie.

And of course, he couldn't ... and didn't.
