Well, he would have witnessed M not killing T, if one cleaves (mostly) to
_FHYA_, so the arras is the least problem - and sure, why not have
Khaavren be loyal to the empire instead of being T's poodle?

Or maybe he thinks things happened more or less as in _FHYA_ except that
he didn't happen to be present at the time.
