It's also worth noting that it's his second 'near miss' and if he hadn't run off to confront Thordan we probably wouldn't have lost Haurchefant. It's a little bizarre that Ser Zephirin gets all the blame for Haurchefant's demise. Last time Aymeric ran off to take matters into his own hands a major character perished. So that he was injured and ran off again to fight didn't sit well with me.
