[That might have been a little bit of an extreme reaction, Alphen realizes after the fact. But there's something about the relationship between titles and status and hierarchy that makes him a little uncomfortable...maybe chalk it up to being Dahnan. Either way, he shakes his head, waving off the bow with a small but sincere smile.]
None taken. Don't worry about it.
[Maybe there's something lost in translation in the interaction. They all come from wildly different places...so maybe something that feels strange to him is just considered polite somewhere else. Either way, it doesn't stop him from just being the way he is.]
Just Alphen is fine with me. I'm not much of a titles person, I guess.
