Battered
I had heard once that it began with armed men raising their hand to show they didn't carry a weapon, but your explanation makes more sense, and it does, after all, come from a man who should know, a knight, even if he's a battered one...

Go ahead and tell her, it is a true story. I hope the aliens did not probe you too much!

I hope you're not having me on. I'm gonna tell that to my wife tonight and she'll have spread it around most of northern England by the weekend.
Welcome by the way. You must have crept in during my alien abduction.
