Tyrion slaps a King and immediately inventories the damage: 'And now I've struck a King. Did my hand fall from my wrist?' There's no pretending, no bargaining, no delay.

Defiance without self-awareness is just recklessness; the brave part is facing what comes next while your hand is still attached.
