Horace was the one that picked on Will at the beginning, and then became his best friend and a famous knight.
It's not that Allie doesn't know how to defend herself (she DID beat up Alda to save Shadow), but that she can't fight someone she can't touch. Alda knew that, so he got his revenge from a distance.
I can't wait to write the scene where she kicks his sorry arse...'evil grin'
Then Halt will find out what Alda did, and that's a whole new experience I'm looking forward to.
