He prefers "Mister Mynhier" or "Captain" or even just Erik from people he knows. The military "Sir" is fine from his subordinates while on duty is fine too.
Nitpicking: Phonetically, "Ser" and "sir" aren't any different!
Edit: There's also no functional difference in the terminology.
It is a bit of a nitpick on my part I will admit. Its just that the in game phonetics seem to show npcs refering to knights and the like as "ser" and military members of the gcs as "sir", with a similar separation as found in GOT. Also to my dutch ear they sound different "sir" sounds like "sur" in english and "ser" sounds like "s-air". Sort of some lore in game I noticed and took into accout. I dont expect anyone to notice it as both sound rhe same to americans and are pronounced the same. Not sure if they do to an english ear/tongue.
