Partly because it's an aristocratic term he remembers; partly because he does, honestly, feel that the Regent has been surprisingly gracious where a lot of Kenoma fuckups (him) are concerned; partly because it feels ... ironically apt. The way people call Kali "mother," or the Furies "kindly ones." ]
