[@Shard] Silas doesn't even realize the amount of power that he has at times, he could make a very formidable enemy if he wasn't so nice. 

He sees Miles as being someone who's very efficient and effective, he admires that he faces things so readily. I think that's why it would be so flattering for him because he sees Miles as an [i]actual hero[/i]. He kind of just views his position as a support man and he's fine with that but Miles is in on the action and he thinks that's awesome.
